Do Internet relationships count as "dating?" In my mind, you're only "dating" someone if you're...actually dating them, as in setting dates and going out places, or staying in places.
Not that it's not a meaningful romantic relationship, because it is, but it's not "dating." *smile*
I grok the ones who said Yakky (I don't count you as dating him, though I'm not as sure about whether you've been having *sex* with him lately), and I realize I should've clicked sithjawa, since I clicked "your Pretty" (I consider a relationship to equate dating, whether you can go on physical dates or not), but I can never remember which username she is (you know I'm bad with names). My brain just thinks of her as "Steph", since I don't read her journal.
What *really* confuses me, though, are the two that clicked Darkside, and the two that clicked VOTANIA!!
::brain reeling::
Umm. Are they *reading* your journal? Or some AU-version thereof?
Well, votania was one of them, as it was too good for her snarky sense of humor to pass up (yes, I said "seriously" in there; nope, she wasn't being serious; oh well... ), and the other... is hookncrook, who may have missed out on the nuances like the fact that votania and I *aren't* dating each other.
Byron (Rainstorm13) evidently considers the Not!A!Relationship! that Darkside and I have going on as sufficient. Dunno about Wolfieboy.
As much as you love Darkside, it requires both parties to agree upon a relationship for it to BE a relationship of the dating kind. As long as he continues to *say* no, it will still not be dating. IMO.
I join elance in being somewhat unsure of the appropriate definitions... I'm pretty clear on what's going on, but less clear on how everyone involved chooses to describe it. (And I have to really snicker at the idea of you dating some of those options.)
I actually made this poll because I'm really unsure on how everything is going myself... and to see how many people had the latest news on my love life... and to see how many people thought I was with my blondie.
If someone did, beyond the obvious, I'd find it disturbing since the firs line of eris_raven's bio is 'I live with Mommy', where 'Mommy' is linked to your journal.
Of course, if the 'My fur is...' line didn't give it away, that's disturbing all in itself. ;o)

I used to do phone survey work, so I know how to not make 'em suck.

I would have said "I'm /involved/ with..."

Phone sex, anyone?

Yeah.
I was wondering if someone would.
Then, your husband hasn't taken this survey yet, so... never say never.

Or something like that.
Scary, isn't it?
no subject
Yeah, that would work, I suppose.
It's certainly waaaay less disturbing than either of the alternatives that my poor, abused brain can come up with.
