I'd prefer that you keep your advices for yourself. It seems the american "date" has a different cultural meaning than in other parts of the world where it doesn't exist as such. If you go to Europe and say you "date" 10+ times the same person in a year, you'd be considered as someone desperate. Dating in Europe just refers to the first encounter.

That is not true. In various European languages, the local equivalent of the word date includes settled couples going out together. If you go on date 10 times with the same person, you are considered to be in the beginning stage of the relationship.

10 dates with the same person with frequency of 3 dates a week is three weeks of knowing each other. That is not deep into the relationship yet anyway, it is beginning stage of a romance. Assuming you are looking for a stable relationship rather then hook up.

Yes but tfa is in english, not everyone "dates" the same way.
