Modern Dating Relationship Statuses Decoded
Where do you stand with your man? As evidenced by Facebook's "It's complicated" relationship status option, modern romance is no longer black and white. In fact, given today's dating practices, it's becoming increasingly difficult to define exactly what kind of relationship you are in. But the five relationship statuses below help make sense of the matter.
Does one of these apply to you and yours or did we leave something out?
Friends: There is a mutual trust and affection for one another, but there is no physical intimacy or feelings above being just friends.
Friends with Benefits: Everyone has needs and what better way to satisfy these needs than with a trusted friend? This is taking the "Friends" status one step up to include physical intimacy, presumably without commitment or "ties."
Dating: You've gone on a few dates with this person, or spent a lot of time with them. You've shared more than one kiss and want to continue to keep seeing each other.
Together: You two have been "dating" for a while; you both really care for each other, but are not quite ready to be bestowed with the "boyfriend and girlfriend" titles just yet.
Boyfriend/Girlfriend: You've been together for a while and agreed to date exclusively.
