Was Beneatha really dating George?

She never liked him and scoffs in disgust when his name is mentioned around her. She is more romantic and intimate with Asagai. She wanted to marry Asagai and not George and she listens and pays attention to when Asagai speaks. Most of the time, she ignores George.

You certainly have a point here. I suppose this depends on how you define dating. She enjoys George's company on a certain level: a level that exists outside of the norm. I don't think she finds a serious friendship with George. She is much too bright and opnionated to accept George's outlook on race and life.

Yes, I have an answer to this question.

Question: Was Beneatha dating George?

Answer: Yes indeed. However, ideological and then irreconcilable differences set them apart.
