How to cope with a breakup and still remain friends?

Me and my boyfriend of over a year broke up mutually last night, but we agreed to still remain good friends and do stuff together, since we share the same group of friends.

Im having a really hard time right now and ths is my first breakup, so any help would be appreciated!! Thankyou!

What is the difference between Dating and Going Out?

I asked a girl out recently and we consider ourselves boyfriend/girlfriend but we haven’t gone on any dates prior this. I don’t know what the difference is. We kiss, hold hands and all that already. I bring her out every night afterwork to eat and to chill. Is that considered dating? If so then that means we been on at least 20 dates in 1 month already? I’m a bit confused here.
