You go out for a few hours with a boy or a girl you like the look of.
You either like each other and go on to the next date or you leave it there and move on to another person.

Its all rather impersonal; but there you go.
For a lot people it works well enough.

you put your peepee in the poopoo

Can you be more especific? Eating out or waching Netflix at home are two different dates, but they are both dates.

A "date" is just spending time with someone you like that likes you back. I don't see where there could be any confusion, so you will need to elaborate what your issue is.

I don't mean dates by themselves, I mean dating as a whole. Besides asking someone out and asking to become a couple, I don't understand how it works.

Like,

>someone you like that likes you back

Even this. I don't know if someone's ever liked me. Shit, I don't know if I've ever liked anyone that way. I think I've only ever felt physical attraction.

Looks = status > personality
Thats how it is for most people. Of course there are people who will value you for what you are, but they are extremely rare.

22 here, I felt the same as you, did not feel anything else other than physical attraction my whole life.
Then I met someone that I actually liked, and boy, let me tell you.
You'll know when you like someone, truly.

>asking to become a couple,

Oh, my, you are really out of the loop. Please, tell me you are 13. I mean, it's breaking the rules but at least it would make sense to be so wrong.

>, I mean dating as a whole.

It's just hanghing out. There are no dating rules. And by the way, most people don't ask "wanna be my gf?" just like people don't ask "wanna ve my friend?"

No, I mean after you've been dating for a while, and you ask about exclusivity

>And by the way, most people don't ask "wanna be my gf?" just like people don't ask "wanna ve my friend?"

Yeah I know that. However, after 2 people have been going on dates for a while, someone asks about the relationship being exclusive, since people tend to casually date more than one person at the same time. Maybe it's just an American thing though.

I think your problem is your lack of self esteem. It has bothing to do with dating but with the fact that you don't like yourself enough to imagine someone wanting to spend their time with you.

Do you have friends?

I personally never had to do it. As we spend more time together it's pretty cler we are not dating around anymore. And to be fair I never date around.

Yes.

I understand why you'd think that though, but that's not my problem. I genuinely just don't understand dating besides the stuff I mentioned.

What is there to understand? What don't you get about asking someone out and spending tine together?

I'll assume the answer to my previous question is "no, I have no friends".

if you ever get to kiss a girl and she sucks at it dont tell her

dont make the same mistake i did

>You'll know when you like someone, truly.
This desu. Physical attraction are things like "man I would love to spend a night together with that person."

I think it started hitting me when I was alone with my then-crush and we did nothing but copy her notes for me for our final exams. We basically did nothing but talk and then watched some Netflix and messed around a bit but it was then that I realized "man I think I like everything about this girl." I don't think it's possible to even list what you like about someone if you truly like them because it's all the tiny bits like how they e.g. get excited over small things, get mad over the dumbest things and so on and forth.

>What is there to understand?
How to flirt, what flirting is, how to pick up on someone being interested, probably more shit I'm forgetting...

>What don't you get about asking someone out and spending tine together?
That's not what I don't understand for Christ's sake. And regardless, it's different when there's romantic interest involved.

I've actually been considering the possibility I might be aromantic recently because I don't know if I'll ever be able to feel that stuff. Even people I SHOULD'VE liked, I didn't.

>And regardless, it's different when there's romantic interest involved.

How is it different?

Are you seriously going to try to tell me that hanging out with a platonic friend is different than hanging out with someone who you like/someone who likes you? I'm retarded, but even I know that's not true.

I think it's just about finding the right person. Felt like you for a lot of my teen years but when I was 17 or 18 or so it started hitting me.

It's when you feel like a dumb, gay little teenage girl for hardly being able to fall asleep because you just spend every second you're awake thinking about that girl you like, about what you did together, what might be, what you all like about her and so on and forth. It's tough to explain it but it'll come.

What's the difference? If you know it so clearly, can you explain it?

Because you don't have feelings for your friends that could potentially change how you interact with them, what you say, etc?

What would change? Can you give me an example?

If nothing's different between friendship and relationships then everyone would just date their friends then

Listen, to learn, first you need to admit ignorance. You are trying to teach me sbout dating but you know nothing sbout it.

As I said, give me an example of how dating and friendship are different.

I'm not an expert on dates honestly, but I've been through some flirting and the way you relate to someone who you're flirting with is very different from someone who you're friends with.
It can be hard to classify since friendships can be very different from each other (flirting is kind of always the same). But in general I'd say flirting involves more teasing, compliments, and mixes of the two, and a lot of touching.

I know plenty of touchy guys as a guy myself. They just don't get sexual about it.

a system tailor-made for women to abuse by giving them a nice slideshow of men competing furiously for their attention, feeding their princess complexes and narcissism by constantly getting attention and/or free meals while offering nothing but their "valuable" time, and occasionally their holes, in return.

>As I said, give me an example of how dating and friendship are different.
Intimacy you fucking nerd, I know you think you're being cute trying to help this poor nigger but you're on an unfinished train track that was never going anywhere. I doubt you know much more than he does.

OP here, that's exactly what I was trying to say but this fuck didn't get it

>You go out for a few hours with a boy or a girl you like the look of.

Why is it always about looks? Why do people have to be like that?

It doesn't have to be that. Girl I'm currently seeing I met at a party and we just kinda got to talking. Her crazy matched mine and its worked out since.

Because that's the first thing we notice about anyone.
