How do you know when you're on a date?
I work for a radio talk show about dating in the modern era, and I've come across some interesting findings in a survey which was commissioned by dating websites ChristianMingle.com and JDate.com: apparently if you are between the ages of 18-59 you are likely to be among the 69% who are at least somewhat confused about whether an outing with someone they're interested in is a date or not.
I'm married now (by some crazy miracle, as it wasn't looking good for me as a marriage prospect- Crazy Cat Lady material, however) but reflecting back on my years of dating and experimental dating (as research for a comic book) I can agree, that yes! It is sometimes fairly ambiguous, whether or not you are on a date or dating someone!
I am looking for solutions, how does one secure a 'date date' and how do you know when you are officially 'dating'?
Thank You!
