The difference between relative and absolute dating is that, absolute dating can find an exact date of how old a specific object is (say 1,000 years old approx.), where as relative dating is an estimation based on other factors of a given site.

relative dating is called incest and absolute dating is when you tell your parents that you got the hots for this guy (or girl).
