Same thing.

Preliminary stage is dating someone.

Subsequently, if dating goes well, then you are seeing the person with a view to explore something long term. After that courtship begins when you want to propose something serious and long-term.

i was always thinking that seeing someone means less than dating. seeing someone = you're not in a relationship yet.

[mT2359]

Where I come from seeing someone is a more serious form of dating. Dating is more of first impression kinds. If u like the first impression then it results in a friendship and then might lead to more serious form of compatibility searching (seeing someone).

Then again might be more of a lost in translation thing.

lost in translation is a good movie 😁
interesting cos i never had the "we are friends, let's try if it works out as a couple". when i met someone interesting we started a relationship quite fast. the only friends first relationship i had happened only cos we didn't think the other likes us the same way too 😂

Probably that's y once broken up, mainraining friendship in such a relationship isn't a priority any longer.
