Everyone has their definitions, so I'll just be the one to post the common denominator:

-per Urban Dictionary
As far as 'dating' is defined...well, there were SO MANY varying definitions...that I decided to just go with my own response:
To exclusively seek out in a publicly (and privately) romantic fashion a person with whom you have intimate feelings/intentions for of a 'courtship'-type manner...thus the step after talking and before committed...
Then you may ask, what do you mean 'before committed'? ...well, it's been my modern day experience that 'dating' someone means they publicly acknowledge you as their significant other, but doesn't necessarily mean they are committed (as in future marriage) to staying with you.
That said...it's ambiguous, subjunctive, and seemingly like most things in the post-modern world...completely revisable at the an individual's discretion...
