If some one says "they have a thing"..or "are you guys like a thing?"..whats the actual definition of a thing? How is it different from dating? Is it if 2 people like eachother but arent going out or waht?

Hmm....good question. I think having a thing means that you both are interested in each other and are still getting to know each other before actually building a solid relationship. Dating is when it's official that you both are boyfriend/girlfriend and its more serious. Hope that helped!

Hello,
This is a great question, I actually had the same one. The two terms are actually the same thing. The difference is dating/thing and then a relationship. So it all depends on the level of commitment you both have for each. It is important that you discuss this with your partner of how committed you are for each other

Friends with benifits, meaning you're not exclusive.
Perhaps you could see it as a trial-relationship, or a sign that commitments isnt in the picture right now. So engjoy the fling , it'll develop if you both want it to.

Well, I think having a "thing" is like fwb (friends with benefits). You aren't really dating, you just need some fun every now and then :P

having a thing is usually just sex. dating someone means you possibly have a future together.

dating is before a serious relationship, a things, is usual sexual or maybe even less

Or friends with benefits?

If you are dating, you go out.
If you have a thing, you stay in.

hmmm maybe dating is something in this case where they go out in public. and 'a thing' is where they have met before and dont feel a need to have public distractions? dunno
