Definition Essay About Dating

Dating is a part of the human mating process where two people, either male or female, meet socially for companionship. With the aim of assessing the others suitability as a partner, in an intimate relationship or marriage. Usually these interactions and assessments are made in a social setting or activity. The protocols and practices of dating, and the terms used to describe it, vary considerably from country to country and over time.
