I don’t know, when I watch certain non-Islamic movies and read non-Islamic books, for some non-Muslim people that’s part of dating, they have sex where ever, during a date. I even have some friends, Dutch friends, who had sex during a date. Even years ago, in school I had Dutch friends who had sex during a date… So I suppose for some people dating is having sex, in the backseat of a car, or anywhere else, from what some Dutch people told me. It’s normal in some cultures. And it’s their own choice, if that’s what they want in life. 
But not all people I know had sex during a date, some kissed and others didn’t do anything, they didn’t like their dates. Personally, I was never allowed to date. When I was married off to my cousin, we had one conversation with our family members there, that’s it. I didn’t like that. If I’d get married again, I’d like to have many conversations before deciding if that’s the person I’d like to have as a husband. Some people consider that dating too, just having conversations, I don’t know. For me it’s not.
Dating is different for everyone, like with flirting, nobody really seems to know what dating really is. This is about trying to find a definition for dating:
