for me it is always the implicit promise of exclusivity that counts(of course excluding open relationships, but in an open relationship does it make sense to establish who is dating whom?)."Dating", in the context of this game, will probably mean the same as what it does in real life; spending time with the LIs one-on-one, doing things together, and having formal dates such as the tennis game with Jill. Oh, and some sexy fun times will also count as part of the dating, and in that regard, Jill really needs to up her game if she plans to "fight" for the affection of the MC.
Maybe it could even be good for her to find out he's seeing other girls (Sage, Maya, and Josy at least (can't her about Bella, obviously)) because then if she were to ask or he were to tell that's he also been "intimate" with them, it will give her kick she needs to get herself in the game.
Sage has so far refused every MC proposal, so whatever they do is not a date
Maya and Josy did more or less the same, in a less transparent way
Bella can neither ask nor propose
Jill did, then the fact that there was no sex should be a problem for MC, but from his response at the picnic I'd say it's not. and in some way he's bound himself, even guilting himself (which for example he does to a much lesser extent when Derek goes to lecture him after seeing Bella leave his room)
