Dating is when two people decide to spend time together to get to know each other better. It can be going out to do fun things like going to the movies or going to a restaurant to eat yummy food. They might chat and spend time learning about each other. Sometimes people date because they like each other and think they might want to have a special relationship together. Other times, people just date to have fun and enjoy each other's company. It's important to remember that dating should always be respectful and fun for both people involved.
