Dating is regarded as a series of engagements to go out socially with another person most often out of romantic interest. Do you know any one dating at the moment? Probably this definition would bring a few people you know into focus.

Ideally people who are of age, mature and seeking a lasting relationship, that would eventually lead to marriage, start the process by dating a spouse material. But what do we have in our society today? The whole shabang! Anyone and everyone seem to be dating regardless of age and maturity.
