Dating<br />
vs.<br />
Relationship<br />
By: Roxx!<br />
Many people don’t know there’s actually<br />
a dierence between the two. (For<br />
the longest time, I did not either) One is<br />
a lie masquerading as a fairy tale whilst<br />
the other is rewarding and yet laborious.<br />
It is because of this lack of knowledge<br />
that: many good girls fall prey to<br />
the ‘players/bad boys’ and their theatrics<br />
and the ‘good guys’ are left with<br />
broken hearts and a bitter<br />
taste in their mouths after<br />
boShelly are done with<br />
them. So, for once in my<br />
life, I’m going to be that Good Samaritan<br />
at no benet to me, ell oh ell, and<br />
separate the two to enlighten the lost<br />
and broken hearted souls.<br />
Now dating is what the players want. It<br />
is when two people are involved romantically.<br />
What<br />
renders<br />
this<br />
union<br />
‘romantic’<br />
beats<br />
me, no<br />
one I’ve<br />
dated has ever done anything romantic<br />

“With a<br />
relationship<br />
comes<br />
exclusivity,<br />
commitment”<br />
www.<strong>360</strong>online.com<br />
for me but<br />
yes, that’s<br />
what<br />
dating is.<br />
This is why<br />
people<br />
who are<br />
dating will go for movies, dinner and<br />
just have fun. Along with it being a<br />
romantic union, dating is all about<br />
getting to know each other, sometimes<br />
in the hopes of going into a relationship.<br />
That’s it, it ends there. You can<br />
date someone and not be exclusive<br />
with them i.e. see other people BUT this<br />
must be made clear to the other<br />
person and that there are no ties.<br />
A relationship, what the good<br />
girls and boys want, on the other<br />
hand is something that is entirely<br />
dierent. The general idea of a relationship<br />
is that two people are romantically<br />
involved with the idea of commitment.<br />
Yes ladies and gentlemen, the C word.<br />
With a relationship comes exclusivity,<br />
commitment, being there for each<br />
other, helping each other to grow as<br />
individuals. You ght, love, have fun<br />
and become best friends because this<br />
person shares a part of themselves with<br />
you.<br />
So be sure that the other person wants<br />
a relationship too, dene your relationship<br />
or risk being in it alone with your<br />
partner thinking you are just dating.
