Dating problems and misunderstandings

When individuals use the framework of dating for purposes other than assessing their date's suitability for them, misunderstandings can arise. One or both partners may initiate or accept dating invitations due to peer pressure, attention, a desire to escape from a social environment which they find stifling, a desire for acceptance, or a desire to humiliate; these motives can be strong enough to cause the person to deceive themselves and others when challenged, claiming and believing that they are mainly acting in good faith. This can lead to being "stood up".



This problems have led to number of local dating coaches springing up around USA. Dating Coach teaches face to face or over the phone how to interact with opposite gender and improve dating skills. It seems that some specialize in coaching men, some specialize in coaching women, and some coach both.

Systems for organizing dates: Online dating etc.

Online dating: Instead of using a traditional matchmaker, online dating uses specifically targeted websites to meet new people.



Speed dating: Where a group of people get together for several hours in a public place to get to know one another better. At one of these speed dating events, each person usually sits with another single member for a set period of time to get to know them better, and then at the predetermined time is asked to move and sit with someone else to repeat the process.

Mobile dating/cell phone dating: Where text messages to and from a mobile/cell phone carrier are used to show interest in others on the system. Can be web-based or online dating as well depending on the company.

Virtual dating: A combination of video game playing and dating, where users create avatars and spend time in virtual worlds in an attempt to meet other avatars with the purpose of meeting for potential dates.

Singles Events: Where a group of singles are brought together to take part in various events for the purposes of meeting new people. Events can include such things as parties, workshops and games.

Dating and Types of dates

Dating can mean Personal relationships:
If a person or a group of people is "dating", it means they are each seeking and arranging meetings with candidates for an intimate partner.
If a person is "dating someone", or two people are "dating", or "dating each other" it refers to courtship, or sometimes serial monogamy. (British English uses "seeing" or "going out with" rather than "dating" for this).
Ascertaining the date of an event, using the techniques of chronology, including:
absolute dating, for example using radiocarbon dating, or
relative dating, for example using stratigraphy or tree rings
