Am I Ready for a Relationship Quiz

Looking for a relationship? It's hard to know when you're ready to move from friendship to the next level. To help you decide, try taking this quiz.

What is the difference between friendship and dating?

Friendship is a relationship in which you have things in common, but you aren't romantically involved. Dating is a relationship in which one of the two people is romantically interested in the other and wants to date them.

Friends can also date partners who are not romantically involved with each other. You might want to know if this person is someone you would want to date before getting into a romantic relationship with them, or even before you go on your first date together.

If the person has a long-term goal of being with that person for life and doesn't want to be just friends, it's time to consider dating them.
