People are so obessed with having a label on everything including people and I think it is ridiculous. Why do a couple who have been dating a while have to be "boyfriend and girlfriend"? Why can't they just keep dating and having fun? I think that placing a label on a relationship just complicated things. How can you fix something when it is not broken?
I am writing about this because I ahve been dating a guy for a few months now and my friends, one in particular, keeps asking me if he is my boyfriend or if we have graduated to that status yet. I tell her no because we have not even discussed it. I did ask him about it a few weeks ago and he just said we were dating. I know that he is not seeing anyone else, and I also know that I am not either. What does it matter then if we do not refer to each other as girlfriend or bopyfriend?
Ever since I brought up the subject with him, though, I can't stop thinking about why he wouldn't refer to me as his girlfriend. My friend keeps bringing it up, also. Now, I am freaking out and worrying about whether or not he truly likes me and why he is dating me and whether or not we are going to be "dating" for the rest of our lives. I think most of my stress may stem from the fact that i REALLY like this guy and don't want to lose him, which is why I do not bring the subject up with him.
I don't want to place blame on anyone, but if my friend had not asked whether or not we were boyfriend and girlfriend, than I would not be thinking about it. Everything is great in my relationship and I haven't had more fun with a guy doing nothing. Why am I so obessed with labeling, also?
