Dating in the US does seem very different to UK dating.. from what my friends in the US tell me, its not as serious as it is here.. in that you can date without wanting it to go further!!
One ofmy hsuabnds best friend who lives in New York was, a while ago, dating a very famous movie star.. when I quizzed on it she said "oh, I think he could be gay, and he's not my type at all" I asked why she was still dating him.. she said cos you date for fun, not for what might come of it... I was busy planning a big Hollywood wedding too!! *pouts* She's currently dating another movie star (not as famous as previous one though!) and say that she really likes him, but couldn;t imagine ever sleeping with him, so they date as friends. This isn;t something I've come across over here.. you can go out with the opposite sex as friends, but you wouldn't call it a date!! And then there's "play dates" for kids- again not something I've ever come across here.. but a good idea I think!
OK, I;m rambling now..
