Whats the difference between dating and seeing someone?

If you want the truth, I don't see a difference in that.

I really hate the terminology today, it's so confusing. Yes if he is seeing someone it's dating with no strings attached. This is how it goes as far as I know

Friends-play banter, you like each other but it isn't romantic.

Friends w/benefits-Still have the play banter but you have sexual relations w/each other. It may not even be romantic.

Seeing someone - means the person is committed to a small degree but there is nothing expected in their relationship (ie: they can "break " up with out the break up. ) Romance is involved and sex may also be involved. It may mean be interpreted differently between the two people.

Dating - Committed to a person, romance and sex are probably involved.

The difference is that "seeing" someone is dating them without the commitment. Its just terminology. It means that the girl isn't his girlfriend.

Dating means when you start as a friend and seeing someone is when you go out together as a couple.
