Treating (dating)

Treating or dating is when two people like each other in a special way and want to spend time together to get to know each other even better. Think of it like baking a cake, when you add all the ingredients together and mix them well, you get the perfect cake. Similarly, treating involves two people who like each other, who will spend time together doing different things like watching movies, going for walks, talking, holding hands or eating food together.

Imagine you have a best friend and you really like playing with them. Sometimes you might play games, draw pictures or share toys with each other. Treating or dating is like that, but it's when the two people really, really like each other and want to always be around each other.

They might go to new places together, share their secrets or feelings, or talk about what they want to do in the future. They might also give special presents or surprises to show how much they care about each other.

Sometimes, people might go on dates with more than one person to figure out what they like and what they don't like. It's important to always be kind, respectful and honest with each other, just like you would with your best friend. And remember, treats are only for special people who like each other a lot and want to spend time together in a special way.
