ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Dating

Dating is when two people who like each other spend time together to find out if they are a good fit for each other. It is like trying on shoes to make sure they fit before you buy them. People who date often have dinner together, go to the movies, or just hang out and talk. Sometimes people fall in love and get married, but not everyone who dates will end up getting married. It is just a way to learn more about the other person and decide if they are right for you.
