    we really don’t need to qualify everything with some… i didn’t say all married people do anything….
    there’s really nothing that all married people do.

      I mean it more in the way it depends on what you qualify as dating, I would even say that not every pair of people who are not married yet but are dating can be called dating

        so people who are dating aren’t dating?
        sounds like some “going steady” bs that i’ll have no part of.
        “oh we’re dating but we’re not dating dating”
        people are so afraid of using their vocabulary they just add new definitions to words….
        just like George Orwell warned against

          Yes, like living together, sometimes even with kids, I don’t think that’s dating, but I’m so 1984 in that, yeah
