I am lost on how do you know if you are in a relationship nowadays. Is it when you guys come to a mutual agreement, is it when you first become intimate or is it when you change your status on facebook from single to in a relationship? I been on the dating scene for a while now and I still have no clue to when it is determined that you are in. I had encounters where I would be messing around with someone for months and still not be in a committed relationship. Most of the time they would be the one to bring up the question of what is our relationship status or what are we?. With friends with benefits becoming so popular its hard to tell. It seems to me unless it is stated somewhere that you guys are in a relationship it taken as you are just friends with benefits or just messing around. When I was younger for me once you kissed a girl she was your girlfriend then later on it turned into once you had sex now I just don’t know when it is that you are in one.

I would say your initial impressions on the beginning of a relationship are spot on. The instant two people either begin seeing each other exclusively or have the type of physical contact that begins with a kiss, they are in fact boyfriend and girlfriend.
The issue seems to be with the burden of making the declaration. All too often people become content with what they are doing. They avoid the burden of definition because they feel that will restrict their options. As if saying they are boyfriend and girlfriend makes it more difficult to end their romantic encounters should they become unhappy with the somewhat random but still regular interactions.
People love choices; it’s how they define their freedom and being in relationships threatens that feeling of freedom.
Welcome to the ever evolving world of single parents and multiple marriages.
In my humble opinion that view of relationships is wrong.
People should seek to avoid ambiguity and someone in the romantically involved pair should immediately define the purpose and level of the relationship.
Casual sex is bad and everyone should “date” with the sole intention of getting married. Never “just to experience what’s out there”
You want experience, go to Vegas or Europe and become a whore. It’s regulated and as “safe” as a sex crazed person could be. People need to be more responsible with their DNA swapping. There should be no unwanted pregnancies. Citizens should not follow through with baby making actions unless they want to make a baby. No exceptions.
Condoms, birth control pills, sterility and such are no excuse.
People should be more responsible.
