Would u consider

I'm trying to understand the question. If i understand correctly are you saying that going on a 1st date and being in a relationship are one and the same? If so of course its different a 1st date is NOT a relationship. Its a getting to know you phase. In a relationship you already know each other.

Yes. It may take several dates before you decide you want to be in a relationship.

You want to be in a relationship? I’m willing. At my age I don’t have time to date 🤪😃

Depends.

Yes for some, no for others.

The neighbor kid prob thinks he's in a relationship

Yes. A date before a relationship is a getting to know you thing, like an interview.

After you're in a relationship, its just to celebrate each other in a way.

absolutely

Only from the second or third date can you really talk about a 'relationship' - especially when people meet on the internet.

It’s so different

Not quite sure what you’re asking. Like, when does it go from merely dating to actually being in a relationship?
