Ok, so I really need your help here. If you will comment on anything, do it on this blog! I know these will seem like dumb questions, but I do want honest answers...
1. What are reasons for wanting to date someone?
2. How long should you know someone before "dating"?
3. What should you have to know before dating and what is acceptable to learn about them after you start dating?

Probably not the answer you want to hear, but everybody is different and would answer those questions differently. There is no right or wrong answer obviously, and people just want to do things comfortably.
No worries, I knew that. I was just curious about what people thought. It's more of a survey...
ah, nice.
1)potential
2)situational, can't say.
3)potential...and then if the potential is still there.
Russ and I were having a conversation about dating earlier today....might want to chat it up with him. I've got to agree with Kasey though...it changes for every situation I'm in.
1. Compatibility, potential for happiness/something along the way
2. Depends on the situation. One guy I knew from 1st grade. Another, 1 month. Every situation is different.
3. I don't really know how to answer this one. You just kind of go with the flow when it comes to what you know beforehand. Maybe I just don't have enough experience to know. =)

Alright, so here's the thing, Janae...
Most guys are suckers, sycophants, and/or wannabe Mitt Romneys (if they actually succeeded, not bad...but if not...man, it bites)--all but one, of course. Get used to it.
Ready...GO! (waiting)...I don't hear you dating...
1) Because they're hot. And a good person. And you think you'd probably have a good time dating them. Or if an angel appears to you and tells you to date them; that's a good reason too.
2) As long as it takes. I'd say a couple of hours, minimum. After close inspection of "Saturday's Warrior", it would seem that knowledge from the pre-existence is the best way to go.
3) Is he an axe murderer? Was he born a woman? Does he hate Mormons? Does he hate you? I mean, you can work with whatever answer you get, but it's always nice to know these things beforehand.
Seriously, I'm a big fan of the "do what you want and see what happens" method. If you want to date someone, and you think you know them reasonably well, and you've worked out your major deal-breakers, then why not just date them? It might not work out, but it might not work out anyway. As long as you know how to honestly be yourself when you're dating someone, and you know how to keep things in some kind of perspective, you should be fine.
End of really long comment.
