First dates are always a balancing act as you want to show people you are responsible enough to be worthy of a relationship but don’t wish to appear too clingy. Pondering all of this, one person headed to an online community for advice on what people will do when in a relationship but not when they are dating.
Go To Someone’s House

One person led the comments by saying they would not go to a person’s house in the early stages of dating, saying that there needed to be an exclusive commitment for them to do so. This one will get tricky as the dates develop, especially if they want to “Netflix and chill.”
Go on Vacation

A vacation while dating does seem extreme, but some people find it a lot of fun. For one person, at least, vacations were special occasions and required a good knowledge of the other person to make it work.
Will Not Introduce Them to Parents

Meeting the parents is strictly for relationships only, according to many people who think that it is not much hassle trying to manage too many relationships at once.
Intimacy

One person commented that *** is not on the cards unless they are in a committed relationship.
Sleepover

Some people do choose to have *** while they are dating, but for some, sleeping over is not something they would do until fully committed. I wonder if this person is worried about their date hearing their snoring.
Cuddling

If people feel comfortable sleeping at their date’s house, some draw the line at cuddling up to their beau. Anything that seems overly romantic gestures only deserves boyfriend/girlfriend status.
Go Without Protection

Sensible talk, say no more.
Move in Together

We are not quite sure who would move in together when they were just dating but it appears this is the case for some people, as one person pointed out that it was something that they could never do.
Do Chores
-

Chores and other acts of service are out of the question for one person who said that a person they were dating should not ask you to clean their home. One person says, “Acts of service are a valid love language.”
Say, ‘I Have a Boyfriend.’
-

Until then, it is simply “I’m going on a date.”
Be Monogamous
-

For some people, dating means that they can see other people whereas a relationship is more committed and they have eyes for one person only.
Post Them on Social Media

No ‘in relationship’ status and no cute photographs until they are officially going steady
Picking Them Up/Dropping Them Off at The Airport

One person was particular in saying their date had to make their travel arrangements!
Give Gifts
-

This one seems a little stingy, but one person said they would not buy their date a Valentine’s Day or even a birthday gift. Surely a small gift would be a cute token; they will not expect diamonds.
Talk Of Future Plans
-

Talking about the future should not come up until people are committed, according to one person who said, “That’s for a real committed relationship. While dating, that looks like some fantasy.”
Invite Them to Events
-

Some people are ok with introducing their date to friends on a casual night out, but they would not invite them to more significant events such as weddings or family gatherings.
Introduce Them to My Kids
-

No matter how enamored by their dating partner, some people will not let their kids know they are seeing someone.
Pass Wind
-

Many people said they would not want to ruin their chances of a relationship by passing wind when with the person they are dating. This seems like good advice, but some people feel completely comfortable with something very natural.
Share Bills
-

Splitting the restaurant bill, yes, but sharing bills in one and another home or lending your date money is off-limits for many people.
Nothing!
-

One brave person stood out from the rest when they said there is nothing they would not do while dating compared to being in a relationship. Instead, they “ I just do whatever feels natural and see how things go.” Bravo to this person!
These are just a few things people will not do until they are in a committed relationship, and we are sure there are many others, depending on the individual. While many agree with these, one person reflected on the comments online when they said, “Lots of lost souls in this thread. No wonder everyone complains that dating is so difficult these days.”
