What is the dating culture like in the United States?

(1) Hang out when we first met

In fact, hang out is a bit silly and difficult to distinguish from date, because it is difficult to tell whether two people are dating or dating when they first meet. We play together, but generally on dates, there are ambiguous actions such as holding hands, the boy paying bills, hugging the waist, and the boy gently caressing the back.

(1.5) Seeing -> dating

Generally in the United States, two people who have a slight liking for hanging out for the purpose of dating are called seeing. "We are seeing each other." It means that the two of us hang out a little more than friends, or the hang out is clearly based on what we want to do, but we haven't reached the point where we like each other that much. Of course, after seeing for a while, both of you feel good about each other, and then you can date! And seeing many people at the same time is generally no problem.

(2) Dating has finally reached this point! Two people have established that they have a crush on each other, and they will say things like "I like you" and have very intimate behaviors, which is a relatively obvious "in love". At this time, it depends on the individual whether to date multiple people at the same time. In principle, it is okay, because the principle of American imperialism is that there is no principle. But according to my experience, if you like the other person and want sincere development, it is better to have one-on-one time. This shows that you are sincere, and also lets the other person know, "I gave up a lot of other people for you. I really like you!" 3) Ask a girl out (relationship) Ask a girl out doesn't just mean making an appointment with someone Girls going out also means asking a girl to be his girlfriend. American culture has a very relaxed attitude towards relationships, so this has also resulted in many ambiguous and fuzzy areas between dating and love. But don’t worry, if a boy wants to be serious with you, as long as you tell him that you don’t know the rules of American love, he will usually make these things very clear and won’t make you feel insecure. So when it's almost time, a boy will probably ask you if you want to be his girlfriend, and that's probably it.
