Types of Dating

June 17, 2010


Dating can be classified on the bases of different parameters such as culture, media, limit, and number of people involved.

* Culture : Usually the dating of the couple is arranged by the parents or the elders. This sort of dating is aimed at accessing the extent to which the couple is comfortable to each other. This also aims at sorting out difference if any among them. Sometimes when dating is not permitted in the society the couples engage is secret dating.
* Media : Dating is usually in person meeting at some public or private place. In this age of internet the dating can be online too. The online dating could serve as a platform prior to the dating in person which is face to face. After the introduction of the web cam, there is hardly any difference left between the online dating and dating in person. Anonymity is the basic advantage of online dating. It is this feature that makes online dating more popular and comfortable among the people seeking date partners.
* Limit : Dating can also be classified on the basis of limits to the relationship. This could be worked out while chatting on the net before you date in person. Basically it depends on the couple to what extent they want to extend their relationship. The duration of dating could be the lunch time or just roaming and dining together and then parting or else some could decide to stick to each other till the next morning or even the whole life. The dating could be just one night stand. Thus it all depends on the couple and their mutual expectations.
* Number of people involved : Usually dating involves two people, a couple , and this is called standard dating. When two couples enjoy a date at the same location and at the same time it is double date. When a number of couples enjoy a date that same time and location it is called group date.
* Blind date : This type of dating is among the participants who have never met each other personally. Nowadays a blind date can hardly be 100% blind. Usually most of the people hesitate and avoid blind dates. The online chatting and exchange of SMS and emails usually precede a blind date. In this sort of circumstances the blind date is for the purpose of face to face meeting in person.
