ah well you see its difficult then, because basically 'seeing' is a modern term based on modern practices ie, sex. Although if what you're giving is on your terms the equivelant of 'seeing' then I suppose you are seeing him, but if he aint getting any; and hes not in the same position as you religion wise then he's not seeing you.
You see its difficult... I don't think you can use this term as it implies sex, and its not an option for you.

YES THATS TRUE. I DONT SEE ANY POINT IN GOING ANYWHERE OUT WITH HIM ANYMORE IF WE ARE NOT GOING OUT TOGETHER. SORRY BOUT THE CAPITAL LETTERS I DONO WHATS HAPPENING!
No it doesn't necessarily apply that they are seeing you. But if you are seeing someone you can't guarantee that they aren't having sex with someone else. IMO anyway, I wouldn't be surprised its kind of a pretty open relationship in my book. Where I see going out as monogamous unless told otherwise.
it has to imply some kind personal action such as kissing or sex, otherwise its not 'seeing' is it? its having lunch as friends.

i hate men im gona turn gay
Seeing someone is when you're still kind of in an open relationship. Free to date other people possibly and just go on dates and things. Going out with someone is when it is more serious and you only go out with that one person in a steady. IMO anyways.

thanks girl. i hate men now
it means doing her doggy style
really?
I've been 'seeing' people before and it just generally means no strings attached sex. It's a relationship - in most cases sexual - with no commitment what so ever. That's how i see it anyway.
If your not putting out, and he just want to be 'seeing you' then i'm suprised he's still interested.

Some of us like to see ourselves as not being sluts or man-wh0res or at least we try to. So no seeing someone doesn't mean you have to have sex with someone. There's no situation where sex is an obligation. If you feel obliged, you are indeed a slut/man-wh0re.
When you talk to an ex and are wondering if they've moved on, you sometimes ask "Are you seeing someone?". You're not particularly asking them if they're sleeping with anyone, only if they're going out or considering going out with someone.
seeing somehow just means trying to find out if the 2 of you get along well with each other and kinda like each other but not official
going out is official and involves a commitment. so in a way seeing someone is the stage before going out...but does not neccessarily mean the result will be a relationship.

You are missing the point.
Why would be obliged to have sex with someone, just so you can say you are seeing them...
Okay put it this way.
You go out with a girl regularly (once a week or so) to see films have lunch, you never kiss or touch in a sexual way... you are friends.
You go out with a girl regularly (once a week or so) to see films have lunch, you kiss and regularly have sex or touch each other in a sexual way... you both like each other, but aren't sure whether to commit to this person or not. This period in time is when people 'see each other'
You go out with a girl regularly to see films have lunch, you kiss and have sex regularly, you both like each other, and have agreed that you are now 'going out' - you are in a relationship.
The term is important and is modern in the respect that in the modern world it is necessary to have middle ground, because people have casual sex much more then in the past. Therefore it is a modern term and is directly linked to sex.
Logically, the difference between being friends and not being friends is sex.
'Seeing' is a term people use to describe a adult relationship without the commitment.

The way you describe relationships doesn't sound adult or mature actually.
You, in no way, have explained why having sex is what makes the difference between friends and not being friends. You just based your comments on situations that maybe you and a group of friends might have encountered.
For most people, a relationship is more than just going to the movies, followed by having sex.
Perhaps you should explain, how you think 'seeing' someone differs from a friendship and a relationship, if sex, kissing and touching are taken out of the equation.

Now you're considering kissing... Before you only mentioned sex.
It's not through sex that you make a relationship more close, more important or more official. You can end up seeing someone, going out with someone, dating someone, becoming their boyfriend/girlfriend without sex coming into the equation. Mainly because a relationship is about more than just sex.
Thinking that sex is what will make your relationship count or decide that you're no longer just friends is a bit immature.
