When two people are involved in the dating process, no level of commitment is shared between the two people. The main reason is that dating is often done to check whether or not a person would be the perfect match. In a courtship process, there will usually be a lack of commitment and seriousness between two people and the time they spend together will be less, it can be a few weeks or months. In dating, unlike in a relationship, there are no such strong connections because both people are new to each other and trying to find out more about each other.
