Same for me. As long as I'm not married, I'm single.
'Relationship' is a very generic term that seems to mean whatever a person feels like at the moment. Look it up in the dictionary - you are in a relationship with your family, your friends, your pets, your coworkers - everyone you ever interact with. Anytime someone uses the word 'relationship' to mean something more specific, they are making up their own definition and you'll just have to ask them what they mean by it.
Hhuuummm,,,,,,,that makes me wonder....
There are number of people in here, to put there status as ; in relationship '
better ask them to be more specific???/
How about,,,,
May I ask,,,,? what makes you feel to make you say ' in relationship ' right at this particular rmoment?


sorry, could not resist,,,,,

Well, my boyfriend of five months again came out with something last night that has me confused. I referred to us as being in a relationship and he defined us as "dating" but that we are exclusive, that he does not want to see anyone else, and that we spend our weekends together. He said we are working towards being in a relationship.

What is your definition of dating and a relationship?
For me:
Dating is casual, no strings, platonic
Relationship is exclusive, commitment, intimacy

And, I have question: You call him your "boyfriend," but are you his "girlfriend" if he's not in a relationship with you? IMO, there are red flags all over this thing.

The most important part of this is not what you call it but how you feel it.

If he only wants to see you, then WHAT ARE YOU SWEATING ABOUT?
Makes sense to me.

Some interesting posts. N-o to those that commented about labels, I never labeled anything just in our conversation that night said, since we have been in a relationship I have not worked as many late hours and then he came out with dating vs. relationship comments.

Yes, cotton he has introduced me as his girlfriend, I have met all his friends and most business associates (most more than once).

But this is a major red flag to me, tonight we have plans and I am going to bring up another conversation.

Maybe he's waiting for you to change your EhA status to "In a Relationship". Being set to Single means you're available and not exclusive with anyone, same with the social networking sites like myspace.
