I HATE THIS WORD! Maybe because I do not know what it means. Well I know what it means to me, but I am guessing I am the only one who thinks it simply means….talking. This is my way to establish, finally, what the word means.
“Talking” is when you are interested in a guy and he is interested in you so you establish a mutual “deeper than just friends” relationship. While this relationship is deeper than friends , it’s not as deep as boyfriend and girlfriend. This is another word for dating. Going to the movies and going out to eat are things you do when you are “talking” to or dating someone.
The big question is, can you talk to more than one person at a time? My answer is ABSOLUTELY. If you are just “talking” to someone and you have yet to establish titles then you are free to do as you please. If you are just “talking” you obviously do not feel strong enough to put a label on your relationship so you should not be tied down. When your partner feels that they no longer want to “talk” to anyone else but you, and you feel the same, you become boyfriend and girlfriend. My main issue is when people try to substitute talking for boyfriend or girlfriend. Like when I am asked “Is that your boyfriend?” and I say “no we are just talking” Or better yet if I ask a guy if he has a girlfriend and he says “no but I’m talking to this girl.” That is where the distinction comes from. It is two different things!
So do not get it confused. If you want to establish a relationship and not be left unsure of where you stand in it, be clear of when your relationship develops from just talking to actually being boyfriend and girlfriend. If you are ever unsure of your status with a girl or guy just ask. Unanswered question lead to awkward relations. Awkward relations end with hurt feelings. Avoid it all together by “talking” it out ;).
