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.
