Yea so straight to the point with this blog. WTH is "talking?!" This has become an increasingly popular term with my generation and is used so frequently and loosely that personally, I have NO idea what the term even means anymore. There seems to be like 3 relationship levels (maybe even 4) that my generation currently lives by: Marriage, Boyfriend/Girlfriend, and "Talking". Everyone pretty much has a clear understanding of what the 1st two are defined as. Marriage = To death do you part...BF/GF = til I get tired of you, then we part. So what does this "talking" phase 'equal'??
I believe some would classify "talking" as the BEFORE stages of the BF/GF level. But when does it start and what does it really entail?! If "talking" was classified as two people saying: "Hey I like you, you like me....Let's see where this is going. Be it: Sex buddies, Future Relationship, Time-filler. Whatever." A lot of issues would probably be resolved.
I've heard that "talking" is the understanding between two people that they are in the stage of "courting" each other. Is that true? Maybe I don't know, but I DO know you are NOT talking to someone when you 1st get their number, can't be possible...unrealistic. I have personally seen a girl give her number to 4 different dudes while in the club, and that's just in the span of one night. Personally. It's not until you develop a consistent pursuance of someone, and its reciprocated, are you'll then considered to be "talking".
Basically make sure it's known AND the feelings are returned. It's confusing if you go around saying, "Yea we used to talk. Yea we're talking now," and the other person barely knows who you even are. Let's create a standard...how about in order to be able to say that you and "talking" to someone you have to communicate with them for at least 2 weeks and "chill" or go on at least 1 date? Is that fair?? Maybe not but someone needs to create a clear definition and tell me because it's still confusing trying to figure our WTH "talking" is!
