: This started out as defining the difference between "dating", "seeing someone" and "co-habitating" (living together).

: Any answers/ideas are extremely welcome!

: Thanks in advance!

My dating days are way in the past. So the youngsters are going to have to answer this one.

It used to be the degrees of involvement were dating or playing the field, going steady, getting serious(maybe a pre-engagement or getting pinned phase, meaning wearing his college fraternity pin), getting engaged, and marrying.

I don't know what the degrees are now. I have a vague notion that "seeing someone" implies that the couple has an exclusive relationship. More serious than just "dating."
