- - Time out! Can you please explain this to me? How can a "date" not be a
- "date"? In my book, when someone asks you out to the movies, and you go, it's
- a "date". So how can you "turn it into a date"? How could it not be a "date"?
- Then, you started "dating". Does this mean "we went to the movies a few more
- times" or "we agreed not to see other people"? And are you "interested in
- dating him" because "you love him" or because "he's a fun guy to be with"? Is
- it just me or does the English language really suck when it comes to relation-
- ships?
