When someone says they are dating, I take that to mean they are looking for a prospective mate.

I can't call what I'm doing 'dating' since I'm married. So I'll call it hanging out with friends. I typically try to have at least one other gal with me if I hang out with a male friend. Just to be above reproach. I don't need to have the hint of adultery thrown in with all my other m problems.

But hey that's just me....
