hooking up is imo much easier.
Since I'm in highschool, I'm not looking for a long term relationship anyways.
Hooking up and dating both require a lot of patience and attention, BUT if I had to choose one, I would say dating. A serious relationship may be harder in certain aspects, but you know the guy is there for you, not fulfilling wild sex fantasies with 10 different women. Lol, On the other hand, there are some who do that in a relationship!
There are also a whole bunch of different types of "Hooking up" or "Dating." Such as, Hooking up may be a no title relationship for the time being until they are serious enough to move to the next stage.

Hookups are so much more fun lol :x
say whaaaa? I'm actually a lot less committed when I'm ''dating''.
I dunno. I think I see it differently? For me.. there's hooking up.. dating.. and going steady.
I wouldn't hook up with anyone.. I think I'd just feel awkward seeing them around after that. I'd see them and think.. ''Eww... I USED you.'' And then I'd feel all icky inside.
Dating I tend to do at first with others.. like, hey you want to go to the movies? go out to eat? etc. etc... just to get to know the person at a little more intimate level. Not as a boyfriend. Just one on one time of sentimental value that doesn't have too much attatchment if we don't feel right by the end of the date. Most would probably just call it ''hanging out'' but honestly... if both people know that there is an intention to maybe get into something serious.. i don't think that's like ''hanging out'' just because your bored and have nothing better to do with yourself.
Going steady is when an actual relationship blossoms for someone beyond that dating point. That's when I don't date anyone else, i introduce them to my parents properly, call them my boyfriend, and aren't as cautious about getting physical.
Neither? I have no interest in hooking up because I'm borderline asexual, so there's nothing much in it for me. I'm not interested in dating right now either, though. I guess dating is probably my preferred option in the long run, but I'm keeping away from both for the moment.
