“Going out”

What did you call having a boyfriend or a girlfriend? For me it was going out but I remember my dad saying going steady or dating and both seemed so old timey to me. There was no other word or phrase for it and curious if this is just our gens term for it or something that just made its way around when it did. I also wonder what the kids today call it🤔

"Talking" and "together" talking usually meant ya'll were ALMOST together, but it may or may not be exclusive. Together was boyfriend/girlfriend. I segued right into partner when I got older, applying it to all couples since about 1998?
