Does a label makes things official?

If you've read about my previous posts about some guy, well, it's easy to say that it's sort of related to that ( Read more... )

I think it depends on the person and how they view labeling. There's like a billion different labels when it comes to dating (me, never having dated myself but hear about it ALL THE TIME from friends who serial date LMAO). I know some people who go on dates, but would stay away from the label of "girlfriend/boyfriend" until they both talk about it and actually ask each other. There's some sort of commitment involved once you both agree to this label. Otherwise, even after the 10th date, you're not gf/bf yet - you're just dating/trying each other out.

I think it all depends how exclusive you want to be. If you want to go further with this person and if you want to commit.

(the more I think about this, the more I realize why I've never dated - BECAUSE IT'S CONFUSING! Bllerrhghhh)

BUT ANYWAY. AW! Are you two thinking about being together?! *cuutee***

Ah, well, it's not really something we thought about, or rather, we're kind of stuck to each other without even trying. We don't even notice it until someone says like, "Hey, what are you doing?" and then we're all like, "H-huh?!" He told me that he doesn't usually take pictures or anything really, but recently, when he's walking with his friends and he sees something he wants to show me, he stops to take a picture, and his friends went like, "What are you doing...?" and even I have to admit that it also happens to me, but in other ways. Hahahaha! So... we're not thinking about being together, because it seems like we already are? Does that make sense? Maybe that's why I was asking if labels are really important, since it feels like we're already in a relationship, though no one really asked each other out. Though... we act the part? I don't know. I mean, if someone asked me out, I'd say I had someone, but it's not like we official have a title? Does that work?

I guess what I talked about was more along the lines of "Hey, I just met you *cue song*" LOL! But you two seem to know each other, like each other and again, it really depends on what you guys want to be. And it seems like you might want clarification on what the "title" is, so best to talk to him about it.

but hrm, doesn't matter, in my opinion. We're young, we change our minds, we're exploring. No need to label things so then there's that obligation to follow the label. I've had one friend who would always say, "Well, I'm not her boyfriend, so I can do this. Until we're at that stage, I don't have to act the part."

Gah. I say, talk to him regardless since it's something you're wondering about. Communicate. :)

"Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy. But here's my number, so call me maybe." Nnnnooooo

Hahahaha, it feels like we've known each other for ages, but it's not even half a year since we met. Well, what we want to be... Actually, I don't know. I remember asking him what he expected from this, he said I asked before, but never repeated it. I seriously can't remember his answer...

Well, I guess that's where we're weird. I mean, if there was something only a girlfriend would do, and even if I wasn't his girlfriend, I would do it still because I want to. If it's weird for a friend to do it, then I'd always say, "Well, my feelings got the better hold of me, sorry. Can't do much there."

XD;; I've actually wondered about this somewhere online, and people actually said the same thing. If there's anything, COMMUNICATE.

I-It's a bit hard to bring up. I will stutter and hide myself or something! Then the cue of him saying, "Aww, come on. Don't hide yourself. Diyana..." XD;; I'm very weak to him.

Augh super late but, catching up on your posts and OMG Pudding!!! ;u; I'm really happy for you, he sounds like a great guy!

Hmm, I think you should definitely ask him if you're really curious about it (if you haven't already) but in the end it doesn't really matter what kind of label you guys have as long as you're happy, right? ╮('◡'✿) /so cheesy orz/

T-Thank you! He is a great guy! O-Or at least, in my eyes, he's the best one out there for me.

IT IS OKAY TO BE CHEESY. Well, I actually did ask him. I remember asking him before once, and he told me that I asked the same question before. I couldn't remember it and he didn't say it again. (He was actually avoiding the topic by distracting me, and it worked!) And recently, I approached him about it again and he did say something along the line of meeting up before making anything official, which was what I thought he was likely to do. So it kind of gives me an idea of where I'm standing. Probably on the wall of being a friend and being in a relationship. Then again, he did admit that (a statement I told him unconsciously before) he isn't interested in other girls anymore, even if we're not officially dating. D-Does that make sense? I seem to blab to him a lot about my feelings and thoughts, and without noticing that I do so!
