Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, So in the dating world, I have a question, Yeah,
which comes first? Like if we had to make it
level one level two. This was a debate I got
into yesterday. When you're with somebody new, which comes first?
Dating or seeing? Because if you're at an event, you'd
be like, well, I'm dating so and so or oh,
I'm seeing somebody. So which is first? Is dating first?

(00:24):
Or is seeing first? I think seeing comes first, and
then you're dating somebody. Lulu thinks you date somebody and
then you're seeing them exactly because if you.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Say I'm dating so and so, that means that you
could be dating other people too.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
You're still checking it out.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
If you're seeing someone, you already moved on beyond the dating,
beyond the dates you are seeing them, it sounds like
there's only one person. It's they're heading somewhere. This is
a relationship. Dating is dating. Yeah, I'm dating, I'm dating
her or him, and I'm seeing so and so. I'm

(01:02):
seeing Jim, not dating Jim. I'm seeing him.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
You see somebody before you start dating them.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
No, you date him and then you're seeing them.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
No, No, No, seeing comes first. You see somebody and
then after you've seen him a couple of times, you're like,
I want to date them.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Dating is such a loose term. People will say, yeah,
i'm dating, I'm on all the steps. I went on
a date with so and so, and I went on
a date so and so.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
I'm dating.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Going on a date is not I'm dating so and so.
That's why I'm saying seeing comes first.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Seeing differentiates the dating part of the whole conversation.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
You're dating a lot of people dating you, you.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Date a lot of people, you're on apps, and you
go on dates. If you're seeing someone in particular, you're
seeing them.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Going on dates is different. Doesn't mean you're when you're
dating somebody, that's who you're dating.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I'm dating like you could say, oh, I'm dating Sarah.
You're dating Sarah. That doesn't sound so serious.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yes it does. I'm seeing a couple of people.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
That's opposite.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
No, it's not. It is Okay, which comes first in relationships?
Are you seeing somebody or you're dating somebody first? Which
one comes first? Dating or scene? See? For me, you're
seeing somebody and then if it's serious, you're dating them.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Dating sounds like you're still shopping around.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
No, it sounds like that's who I'm dating. You're with Lulu, ma'am?
Is that right?

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Hello, Hi there, I just wanted to give my opinion
about the dating versus sea.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
I say dating comes first because you go out on
a few dates and decide whether you want to continue
to see one another.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
That's what I think.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
See, I think you see somebody to see if you
want to date them.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Well, you've heard of the blind date, right, I.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Don't think those existed anymore. A blind bate, Yeah, but
they don't exist anymore. That's just something from the past.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Maybe not, but I've never heard of a blind see.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Good point.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
But because of social medi and apps, nobody's going on
blind dates like I'm on and off the apps. I
was explaining the Slulu. If somebody doesn't show their full body,
I don't even go out with them. And I know
women that feel the same way. If somebody just shows
their face and a picture of nothing else, they're not
gonna go on a date. So we have gone like
light years past the whole blind date concept.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Okay, I get that. I still say you date them
a time or two, sometimes more, decide whether you want
to continue to see them.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yes, See, the way I look at it is. I'm
going out with them, and I'm going to see them
and see if it's somebody I would date.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Oh well, I guess that's the difference of opinion.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
It is, but I'm on the same page as you.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
It's so funny how we can see these things differently,
seeing or dating.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
I mean, it really is, you see what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah, And of course I've been out of the dating
scene for so long, so it doesn't really matter to me.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, yeah, no, I get it.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Let me tell you this, you're not missing it.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Probably true.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Hey, thank you for calling this morning.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Oh you're welcome.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Have a great day.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Uh huh you too.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
Byeye?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
All right, which is more serious? I'm seeing somebody or
I'm dating somebody?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, dating is like I'm dating. It's an activity. I'm
seeing someone that is somebody that is has become more serious.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
When you're dating.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
No seeing?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
All right? What do you say, ma'am?

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Hello, thing about seeing and dating? Yeah, I was seeing
my husband before I.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Was dating him, Yes, totally.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
So seeing for me is no hugging, no kissing, no nothing.
Dating you're hugging, kiss.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
A little more.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
But we were seeing each other for over a month before.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
We started dating. Were you seeing anybody else?

Speaker 3 (04:56):
No? See the complete opposite.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
You date multiple people and then you see one person
date not.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Multiple, but you're if you're dating, it's not as serious
as I'm seeing her.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I'm seeing him, well seeing him.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
You can just see.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
I could see you in passing, Lulu.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, that's the thing. Seeing doesn't necessarily mean you're doing anything.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
You know what I'm saying. He's in the right context.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
It is.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
You know, she was seeing him and wasn't doing nothing. Yes,
and when she started dating, she started doing something.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
I see things differently, that's all.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, we need to find out what you've been doing.
I think we know though, right, Okay, So which comes first?
Are you dating and then seeing or are you seeing
somebody and then you're dating them? See? So now, Linda,
what did you want to say about this?

Speaker 4 (05:43):
I think that when you see somebody, it's a meet
and greet and you decide whether you like what you see,
and if you like it, then you date them.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Totally agree. I love that seeing someone is a meet
and greets. Linda love that.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
I've only been doing the meet and greeks.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
I'm not saying anything.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
I like, Well, I understand that part, but I just
I just I just don't see how you guys aren't
seeing it my way.

Speaker 6 (06:14):
Dad.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Sorry, Lulu, I usually agree with you, but on.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
This one I can't.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Welcome Linda. It's nice to have you on this side. Yeah, Joy, right,
I like what I'm saying. I'm ready for a step
after the meeting.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Is the best, Linda is the best.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
What about you? Are you with me and Linda? You're
seeing somebody and then if you decide you like what
you're saying, you're dating.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Nope, Lulu views at the opposite. Dating is something you do.
Seeing someone is who you're folks. So dating then seeing, no, no, no,
seeing is casual. Dating is serious?

Speaker 1 (07:06):
All right? What do you say, sir? Hey? Who says?

Speaker 6 (07:09):
Ben?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Ben? Where are you calling from? What do you think?

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Ben?

Speaker 2 (07:13):
All right?

Speaker 5 (07:13):
So my opinion, dating would mean or serious and seeing just.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Right, totally the talk stage. Yes, Seeing is that you're
talking to somebody. Lulu, you're that.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
You're seeing it wrong, It's so different in my mind.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
So you think dating is the talking stage.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Yeah, okay, Lulu, I'm sorry, but you're wrong.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
I just I don't see your guys way.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
And we keep talking about it, and I'm still not
I'm not going to change my minding her.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, i'm seeing her. What sounds more serious?

Speaker 3 (07:54):
I'm seeing her?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
No? Yes?

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yes, Okay, here, if you're dating, you'd actually call them
like your boyfriend or girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
If you're just seeing, you wouldn't do that. No, it's
the opposite for me.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Before you're trying to help him a deeper hole.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Where is what I've heard said before? Okay, So how's
it going with Mark? Well, you know, we're just dating.
I'm gonna see where it goes.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
No, this is what it be. It would be we're
just seeing each other when I'm dating.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, No, we dated and now we're seeing each other,
seeing each other exclusively.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, you guys have it wrong. Think about it. Just
think a little hard about it. You'll see it my way.
I'm pretty sure everyone I've ever.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
Met had.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Kill me. Hey, we love you. When you're saying I'm
dating somebody, that's serious? Sit?

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Tip?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Is it way? What about you? Ma'am?

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Good morning, Maverick, good morning? Littleis okay? You guys now
really confused me this morning?

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Really?

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Because yeah? Because okay, to me, I think dating is
when you're going out and having like a dinner date,
a movie date, and it's nothing serious. But when you're
seeing someone, it's more like, Okay, I'm getting to know
you more, you know, I want to maybe something into

(09:31):
a further, more serious relationship.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
See the way I look at it is seeing means
you're seeing how things are going. You're not sure, you're
you're looking, you're seeing, whereas dating is I'm dating you,
you're my girl. Yeah, so you agree with me, she
confused me.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, it can happen. This is like a conversation that's
it can go round and round and round.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
No it can't. I mean you're you're seeing somebody and
then you date them.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, but when you're trying to make your point and
if somebody you like, we see it so opposite, the
complete opposite.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
How do you see it? You had something else on this, sir?

Speaker 6 (10:12):
Hey, I wasn't looking into that dating versus seeing.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, who's this Ryan?

Speaker 5 (10:18):
Ryan?

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Where you calling from from?

Speaker 6 (10:19):
Breston?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (10:20):
I've been waiting for somebody to mention the third category,
and I haven't heard it come up yet.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Okay, what is that, Brian? Maybe it's just me.

Speaker 6 (10:27):
I never really heard much attention, but I've always used
the two synonymously, like they've been the same thing.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Oh so dating and seeing mean the same thing to
Ryan Lulu hmm.

Speaker 6 (10:39):
Maybe I just never noticed that they meant different things
to different people. But I've always used some synonymously.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Well, now you learned something today to see someone what
maybe you've learned something from Ryan.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Maybe they're the same, but.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
They're not, it says who.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Ryan says, they're the scene and Google.

Speaker 6 (10:59):
I don't know if there's anybody else out there, Daly
that uses them as the same.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
But I don't know.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
That's my category that I kind of fell in.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
So has this changed your mind at all? When you
think about it? There's a difference.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
I keep bouncing the two words back and forth in
my head, and they always found that found the same thing.
They sound like the same thing.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Ryan, it's okay to tell her, No, it hasn't changed
your mind. I do it all the time.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
There you go, It's okay because I know I'm right.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
I appreciate you guys.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, but notice that when you said you were right,
Ryan said, I gotta go smart man.
