Friends with benefits: two friends who have a sexual relationship without being emotionally involved. Typically two good friends who casually make out (I tweaked this one a bit) without a monogomous relationship or any kind of commitment.
Talking: when two people are not exclusive with each other nor have established what they are as a couple, but have some sort of relationship or when two people like each other and are getting to know each other better, but are still single and not "going out" yet. Even better: Stage in which you are still single but interested in another person and vice versa. This ends when the dating stage begins...
Dating: Of a couple, to be in the early stages of a relationship where they go out on dates to find out what each other is like, as a prelude to actually being a fully fledged couple. Next: To see someone, be with them, to be "together", the action of doing any sort of various activities to gain acquaintance with someone romantically.
Relationship Dating: Dating for a relationship as opposed to dating for casual fun or hook-up. Relationship dating as in dating for long-term relationship.
Relationship: the ability to put up with someone else's bull of the opposite sex for a long period of time. Next: a bond between two people
Courting: Dating is for fun, but courting is for marriage. Courting means no sexual activity.
So basically that isn't any more clear than is was when this blog started. I officially know the definitions of these words, but there is a lot of grey between each one. Oh well just something on my mind and I thought maybe the older generation might want to know what we're talking about when we throw out all these terms.
