Dating - when it's definitely not a relationship

[Mary Jo Cochran]

From a depo:

 

          Q    What was the name of the girl that you were dating back then?

          A    I don’t date girls.

          Q    You said were you messing with a girl, did I hear you wrong?

          A    Yeah. I don’t date girls.  Yeah.  I don’t date girls.

 (more stuff)

          Q     Did you just say your girlfriend?

          A    No.

What's the (more stuff)?  What's that?  I've never seen that.  What's that for?

I also am missing something.  Maybe it's just me and I just woke up.  I don't get it.

This is just funny.  In between they had other dialog.  He was involved with a girl.  But at this young age (not like in the 70's), the concept of relationships has definitely changed.

yeah, these days, they don't "date" a girl; they "talk to" a girl.  Makes no sense to me.  LOL

The text messages between the deponent and his ex-cell mate (who later beat him up) he said, "I got lucky.  I xxx'd the fat xxx."  I feel bad for the girl.  I wonder if she realizes how little he thought of her.

Oh, that's too bad.  Some girls just have no respect for themselves.  She was probably just happy to have someone pay attention to her.  Boys can be so cruel.  However, he may have just been saying that to impress this other cell mate.  You know how boys can be.
