[color=#9900ff]I think dating is a general term or rather what one does.
Girlfriend is more specific and refers to someone in one's life.[/color]

7 up, the difference is clear.

I don't think it's the same. "Dating" is just that, dating. You can be dating numerous of people at one time and I wouldn't call them all girlfriends/boyfriends. Now when you speak on "girlfriend". You are claiming or making a label for one another. You are specifically "seeing" that person only. I see that more so of a commitment. When you are just "dating", you are still free to see/talk and/or "date" other people as well. Another example, I can have alot of friends, but there are very few I would consider a "best friend". You feel me?

OP,

It depends on rather it is exclusive dating or casual dating. There are multiple types of dating that people choose for their lifestyle.

Bootycall/One Night Stand
Casual Dating
Exclusive Dating
Sexual Dating
Friendship Dating

@op, there's a huge difference btw dating and being in a relationship. Dating has a more casual outlook, where as relationship is very particular.

@OP, YES! There's a huge difference. Personally, that's where I cross the line concerning my sexuality! I go on dates with women and men! I have never and will never be in a "relationship" with a female! So, smiley

I remember the first time i approached a girl for friendship ,was in my final year in the university then, after the second outing ,i told her i wanted her as my gf. She told me she wouldn't double date.Whenever i approach a girl and she begins to talk about dating ,i always feel like she wants to play me.But am more comfortable with having a girlfriend.Its like yes, i have someone.

I hope you are not looking to have intimacy with these girls. If so, check out the other thread on STD's- (Sexually Transmitted Demons)
