So I have spent Friday or Saturday night with this one guy for

[dorktv]

the past month and we keep saying we should not date for XYZ...when is it dating and not just hanging out?

[JVS]

1. When there is monkey sex

[dorktv]

11. Um....

we keep saying that we should not have sex for the same reasons (and the fact that we really are not each other's "type")

[JVS]

2. My previous answer is not perfect because not all dates end in monkey sex

So I will pose this quesion to test the dateness of your evenings: have either of you ripped a fart during this time together over the last month? If the answer is no, then you are dating. If yes, then you are hanging out.

3. flip the script

shared flatulence is the hallmark of dating..

[JVS]

4. Only in a post coital relationship. No farting before home plate.

It's the same kind of rule that says that a husband takes his fiance to clubs during the engagement, but after marriage goes to the bar with his friends and without her.

[dorktv]

8. um...I do not get that but thanks for the point!

[Omphaloskepsis]

10. hmmmm.

That might explain the lack of "home plate" in my social life. My magical ability to do the worm might not be able counter the un-sexy of the "covered wagon." /-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\

18. I'm sorry

but can you tell me what the hell this means please?

[dorktv]

6. No but tonight was the first time he used my bathroom.

[JVS]

7. Any noises?

[dorktv]

9. about five minutes of peeing.

[JVS]

12. Are you sure that wasn't running the sink to cover real noises?

[dorktv]

13. true...but the house did not smell afterwards...

[JVS]

16. If he is opening windows and running the sink to cover noise, he likes you

[dorktv]

19. No window in my bathroom but there is a vent and he did not turn

it on. But he did just call me for no reason...well his stated reason was "did you read that article I sent you?" but he could have texted me on that.

[0007]

17. That must mean an extra large bladder, eh?

[dorktv]

20. probably.

[Heidi]

5. That's something only the two of you can decide.

Why does it need a label like "dating," anyway?

[radwriter0555]

14. It's not dating it's just hanging out.

If you're happy with it, let it continue. If you want a real relationship, do something else.

[dorktv]

15. Sensible advice that.

The other thing is that I am friends with his mother but I do not think she would approve since she loves his ex-girlfriend.
