    The danger is not in choosing the wrong answer; the danger is in asking the question.



    This is exactly what I was trying to say, the whole box thing was just an analogy, not something that I am actually contemplating or what I wanted this thread to be about. This really is not a thread about me, but I will admit that I have thought about this in the past and have had several discussions on this subject with male and female friends. I wanted to open it up to get a range of different perspectives because you are right, these days there seems to be a certain mindset or stigma if you will, that when you say the word “relationship”, it sets some people off. But, also, on the other end of the spectrum, you have those that believe that if they are chatting with someone over cyberspace on a regular basis and pleasantries and such are exchanged, they are in a relationship with that person, even though no such thing was discussed. They believe they have a reason to get hacked off at someone for having other friends that they talk to, etc. I think the reason for this hypersensitivity is equated to the fact that it has become customary for people to date two or three people at a time also like you said and that long-term relationships are being replaced with this casual, quasi- relationship. Maybe it’s just that, maybe relationships have evolved into something totally different than what my parents had or even what I had back in high school. I have been out of the whole relationship scene for over two years now and it’s just interesting (and scary) to see what it has turned into.

    Hmmm.

    It seems that you might be concerned that a person would get the wrong idea and think it was "them" that caused the box to be clicked . . . OR . . . Someone clicked the box and now has you concerned that they may be up for the stalker of the year award any day now.



    This has nothing to do with me whatsoever. Yes, I have thought about it in the past, but no not I. I'm just interested in what people honestly think and feel.

    However, it may be a good idea to talk to that person or group first - otherwise they might just think the wrong idea.



    Yes, this is where I'm getting to. How many people just assume that they are in a relationship after something has taken place with a certain person, ie. sex, several dates, meeting family, etc... or it doesn't even have to be that involved. I know people can get emotionally and mentally involved with someone without ever meeting them, but do people consider that a relationship also?
