What does it mean? I always hear it in films, and around teh interwebz when talking to Americans, but don't have a clue what ya'll mean by it... Is it more like a serious relationship rather than casually seeing someone?

I'm pretty sure it refers to getting married.
Ah so like getting engaged?
Aye, "going steady", "settling down", etc.
Getting engaged, starting a family.
No that's not it at all, n00bs :P
"Going steady" is an older phrase used to describe a "serious" high school relationship. Simply means you are not seeing anyone else.
Ah okay - Merlock you dork!!
So like if you are not going steady you are allowed to go with other people too..
Hmm, I didn't realise it was that old. I could've sworn...bah, it's too late for interpreting ancient phraseology from the American 80s. >.<
hehe, yeah I guess. That phrase is outdated, I'm surprised anyone even says it anymore. Now it's more like "going out with" or whatever. Who knows what the kids call it nowadays though :PQuote:
