I don't get this trend Options

[dpl313]

So I've noticed this trend from a lot of different females I know. It usually ends up to where they get into a relationship with a guy, or end up close to being one. But the girl and the guy do all the couplish stuff. The guy refuses to give the relationship an official label. The girl in most cases says I'm content with doing the couplish stuff, but not being in an official relationship. Guy and girl decide it's ok to date other people too, but the feelings they have for each other is obvious.

Why are more people doing this these days?

It's honestly just people being people. Relationships come and go faster than certain people on this site. People just like to mess, because it can also be a trial period for if they wanna be together.

hahaha i couldn't have said it better than myself. i was actually involved this sort of thing before and it ended pretty badly.

often one person is so blinded by their "happiness" or whatevs that they don't even care that they're not officially with them, just as long as they can still be with them without the label is all that matters to them. and the whole open relationship part is like..something i couldn't do because despite people's claims of being "not the jealous type", you know that if you like someone and you see them making out with someone else, you'd get pretty jealous unless you're the "can i join?" type of person. haha

it's the youth thing and it's the "i don't want to be committed" thing.
