Men please explain this. What does 'I'm single and dating' mean?

I want to make this a topic of discussion because as a woman I don't understand what 'I'm single and dating' means'. When asked by Toolz in The Juice interview if he was dating, Banky W said, "I'm still very much single" and then he added. "I'm single and dating."

I know a lot of guys understand what he means by that, so please explain to us ladies. I'm thinking he means he doesn't have an official girlfriend or anyone he's serious with, but has a woman/women he takes out and chops any how...lol. I don't have a girlfriend but I get my groove-on on a regular basis. Is that what single and dating means? And are some women OK with being in situations like this?

Exactly what it means,he's single but just dating,no serious commitment. I don't mind a date with Banky,I've always had something for him.

don't you need to date someone for sometimes to get to know somethings about the lady abi...?

when dating and theirs (safe) consenting sex, is it bad?

@Omorodion hmmm You just opened my brain and eyes towards relationship. Best comment my dear

As far as "dating" goes, some see it as being in a relationship, others see it as casually going on "dates" (maybe in hopes of finding a potential?)

As long as he didn't say he's in a relationship or talking to someone, it is safe to know that Banky is very much single! lol

what he means is that "single and dating" is the name of the new nollywood movie he's starring in...

ALOT of women are ok with this! and thats y this is a VERY common statement! in fact, i am tired of men's BULLSHIT! my time is valuable so if u want to take me out your credentials must include that you are a serious man.

SINGLE IS SINGLE! A SINGLE PERSON CAN TAKE SOMEONE OUT BUT SINGLE AND DATING IS IM SINGLE AND FUCKING AROUND. thats it.

It simply means "I'm not married, however I'm dating someone".

This one really got me laughing. Simple meanings without suspision passes well. Single means; not married. Dating means; in a relationship. You can put the two together.

It simply means he is still soiling his oats

Chaiiiiii... See as a common English sentence is causing headaches and confusion. Anyhow sha its not our fathers language. With that said.. Mr. Banky W is very correct with his sentence. I think the person who we should all be laughing at is Linda because she obviously is confused with the English. If you are dating doesnt mean youre not single. When someone is single in a relationship term means he or she isnt married. When youre dating there are still options and choices which when you go for for whatever reason isnt wrong. But when youre married that option is off the table which means youre not single. A common and good example is the singles department in a church. Obviously all the so called singles are probably dating someone or in a kind of relationship but not married, hence they are single. Gbammmmm!

How do you get in a relationship without dating first? Perfectly valid answer to me (lady here)... If you are hanging out with a dude who likes you romantically, you are going to lunches and dinners with him... You guys are dating.. but not in a relationship...

My understanding is that he is neither married nor has a girlfriend but remains open to meeting women, probably with the hope of finding the right one...

It means he goes on dates but not in a relationship like most people have said. But it doesn't mean he's sleeping with them. I don't understand why people just equate everything to sex. Simple example," The Bachelor", dude goes on dates with all the girls until he chooses the last one he proposes to. Upon all the exposure people claim to have, their mentality is still very archaic.

Linda Linda seriously!!! its such an easy question though. A single person is simply "not married". Therefore, a single person can be dating. I keep telling people that I don't let a girl I like go simply because she is dating someone else, if she's not planning on getting married to him then I won't back down. We take this dating thing too seriously in Nigeria; to the extent that some idiots buy acids and maim people SMH. If you are not married and you have no plans to marry someone do not die or allow them kill themselves on your matter PLEASE!!!
