Chapter 2 Dating Novels & Stories

Tukijo pouted. "Here, let me explain. Dating is the process of getting to know the opposite sex to get closer. This process is through the feeling of liking that we have for them. Where that feeling of liking gets a positive response from the opposite sex that we like, so that they are willing to accept us as boyfriend by establishing a closer relationship and not just being a friend or best friend, but becoming something special," he explained. "Oooh, I see," said Tukijo. Ningsih nodded.

To sum it up, we were getting to know each other. I know it may sound a bit hypocritical considering I had sex with him first and THEN I decided to get to know him, but who cares? “Sure, sure,” Chloe chirped, abandoning her post at the window. “The man who whisks you away to private islands and now picks you up for casual Tuesday night dinners is just a ‘friend’. You keep telling yourself that, honey.” “It’s called dating, Chloe. People do it.” I finally saved my document and closed the laptop. The article was almost done.

I am going on a date. To be continued...

she asked quietly. “Well… since you didn’t want it and I do, then yes,” I admitted. She shook her head lightly. “I don’t know much about relationships,” she said, her tone calm but laced with quiet defiance, “but if I were to rate you right now, you’d score a minus one hundred.” I blinked, confused. “What does that mean?” “Have you ever heard of dates?” she asked, setting her book aside. “You know, buying flowers, taking someone out, trying to make them like you instead of forcing them?”

“Fine. We’ll share a room—but not a bed. And I mean it. We take things slow. I need to know who you really are before I give myself to something so… irreversible.” He runs a hand through his hair, frustration flickering across his face. “And how do we do that, exactly? Get to know each other… slowly?” I draw in a breath. “Let’s… date.” Jack blinks at me like I’ve grown a second head. “What does that even mean?” I blink back. “You don’t know what dating is?” He tilts his head. “No. Should I?” I almost laugh, but there’s too much tension. ” I read about it in a book. Humans—before they get married—they date. They spend time together. Learn if they’re compatible before they commit for life.”

CHAPTER FOUR: ENGAGEMENT PARTY ✧FAITH ZEICAN LEE✧ It’s been a month since Chloe and I started dating. I’ve taken this time to get to know her, and so far, I’m starting to really like her. Why wouldn’t I? She’s a sweet girl. At first, I was a bit nervous around her, but now I feel more at ease because she’s easy to get along with. She knows how to carry on a conversation when she notices I’m getting quiet, which sometimes happens due to my shyness.

I tilt my head back and laugh, which makes his ears turn the brightest shade of pink. “I love you, Nixie.” He says back. “And I am not sure where we’re supposed to go from here but I think that according to research, when two people love each other, they are meant to be in a relationship which is popularly known as ‘dating’” “Right.” I nod my head, still grinning. “Let’s try that.” -- Ivan: Three weeks later, “You have to multiply two by that number, not X.” I say softly to Nixie, but she’s too busy studying my face to pay attention. “Nixie, focus.”

“You know, these days, girls are always in danger. It’s good to let your roommates know where you are going.” I shook my head with a fond smile. I liked her already and I had a feeling we were going to be closer in the future. “I’m going on a date.” “Ouuu, with who?” “With a man.” I deadpanned. She pouted. “Is he your boyfriend? First date?” Good question. Was Damon my boyfriend? We were exclusive so he could as well be considered one, right? Then again, it was just sex. A man didn’t pay his girlfriend for sex. “Second date.”

He continued. "What does dating mean?" I asked, and they gave me a blank look. "you lived under a rock or what, how the hell you don't know that, you are 18!" Mickey exclaimed, scaring me, before sighing. "Date, like they were boyfriend and girlfriend before" Ace explained, and my mouth turned to 'o' in understanding. "They even used to have sex, you know" Mickey whispered in my ears. Rei whined sadly at the information and I slightly felt ripped.

I gave him a glare. "We've been dating for two years now! There's nothing wrong about it!" he firmly told me. I shook my head. I wanted to shout in his face that he couldn't touch two women on the same day, but I held back because my mind kept telling me that I couldn't afford to lose him. "We're just dating! You said it yourself, Jiro! We're dating and not married! S.ex is only for married couples, and we're not freakin' married yet!" I firmly replied to him, wanting to slap myself.
