I know most of you are good decent honest foreveralones but there are awful sex having sexgroids here so I put this question to you: what's the difference between "dating" someone and being in a "relationship" and are the rules different depending on what letter you are?
>>44595642dating is more like actively vying to be in a relationship. relationship is more like making things official and establishing boundaries/labels. idk if it's different for others but that's how it's been for me as a cis straight man with women before i transitioned
I don't think there is a difference. I think whoever is trying to make there be a difference is trying to get out of admitting they want a different relationship.
>>44595720You mean a relationship with a different person or ?
>>44595642you can openly date multiple people at once, i refuse to begin a 'relationship' without about three months of dating to learn about a person. unfortunately people can hide their true colors for years, but three months is a reasonable time frame to get to know someone and figure out if you are somewhat compatible. all relationships involve compromise, but you determine the extent.
>>44595869So what if they're kind of implying they expect you to see no one else and you are not to even consider seeing someone else or even looking at other people, but they also think "it's premature to label this", is that pretty normal in the LGBT community? Should I be upset about this or am I just being a retard who thinks we're married because they are nice to me usually and we have had sex and we send each other horny messages and we talk and message back and forth constantly and have been doing so for several months and I constantly think about and fantasize about our future together and they're like whoa slow down what do you think this isSorry for using 4chan as a psychiatrist but I don't have one because I can't afford it
For me it's>Dating = haven't said I love you yet>In a relationship = have said I love you
