What is seeing someone?

Seeing someone generally means you are in the early stages of a romantic relationship with them. It suggests a level of dating that is more than just friendship, but less committed than being in a defined relationship.

Here's a breakdown of what "seeing someone" typically implies:

• Not Exclusive: It usually indicates that you are not exclusively committed to this person, and they are not exclusively committed to you. You may both be dating or open to dating other people.

• Exploring Compatibility: It's a period of time used to get to know someone and determine if you are a good match and compatible with each other.

• Casual: The level of seriousness is generally low. There are likely no expectations of a long-term future at this point.

• Communication: Regular communication is involved, but it may not be daily or constant.

• Activities: This usually involves going on dates, spending time together, and perhaps some physical intimacy.

• Duration: The duration of "seeing someone" can vary significantly, from a few weeks to several months, before either deciding to become more serious or to stop seeing each other.

It's important to have open and honest conversations with the person you are seeing to ensure you are both on the same page regarding expectations and boundaries.
