How does dating work?

like how tho? like I've dated one person and we were just like friends who I developed feelings for but like? how do people actively go on dates with people they don't know super well? that shit baffles me. People really go on like 5 dates with someone only to realize they've never liked them?? idk man that feels so awkward to me..



Update: lol nvm I'm apparently demi that's why
