What is the difference between dating and relationship...?

To go on a "date" means to go out for dinner, coffee, a movie, or some other event where the two of you are together for a brief period of time (e.g., a couple of hours), and there is the *possibility* of romantic interest. It doesn't mean anything beyond that, although some people attach a lot more significance to this than others, due to their beliefs.

To be "dating" is to be regularly going out with a particular woman, as a progression in the process of courtship, but without any kind of commitment. It can also mean that you are actively going on dates with different women.

A "relationship," in the context of romance, means there is a mutual commitment to continue on seeing one another, or being with one another, for romantic purposes. The level of commitment, and the type of relationship, can vary widely. Examples include occasional f-ck buddy, lover, mistress, casual relationship, temporary relationship, open relationship, exclusive relationship, serious relationship, marriage with children, etc. There is indeed a wide continuum, although the term has traditionally been used to refer to something more than a casual relationship, but less than a marriage.

The distinction between "dating" and "being in a relationship" can be blurry. But usually the former is a temporary stage while the latter is more enduring.

If a girl asks you out on a date, it means she is interested in you. But, you shouldn't assume anything more. She can't possibly know if she wants a relationship with you or not because she doesn't know you well enough. She needs to spend time with you in order to make that determination. By asking her, you are forcing her to choose a position--and the only position she can honestly choose is a negative one (because she can't explain all this stuff). It's better if you don't ask.

A relationship is basically a connection between two individuals, either of the same gender or by different genders. Relationships are developed through constant communication and being with a particular individual. Although there are some relationships that involve some feelings to be felt between the two individuals, this is not necessarily a criterion for a relationship to occur. Examples of this would include a relationship between an employer and an employee or a relationship between a doctor and his patient.
Dating, on the other hand, is a process where a person gets to know another person for the sole purpose of determining if that person would be a suitable partner. For dating to begin, both individuals must share some feelings towards to each other and a desire to get to know the other person more for romantic purposes.

To me, a "date" is going out to spend some time just the two of you, it's something you have to ask for/be asked. Whereas a relationship is when you don't have the "omg, will he/she say yes?" Part, because, you're together.

If you live in facebook world like I do, it's not as hard to know the difference =P
