Has too many dating categories complicated things?

Even though there are more categories and options in the dating world, has that really complicated things. Now there is another additional term called the situationship.

Then we have to be specific on what's the reason you're dating because even a serious relationships isn't the same as actually looking to form a family. There is dating just as friends with benefits, dating without any label but acting like we're a couple, date just to have a boyfriend/girlfriend for fun (casual dating) but don't live with them, dating for a long-term relationship and cohabitation but no kids nor marriage, dating to get married and have kids, etc.

Even when saying you want something serious, you have to be specific on that too. Has all this made things complicated? In the past, it was really either casual dating (boyfriend and girlfriend for too long and no kids), random sex (strangers, friends with benefits, orgies, ONS) or settling down (marriage).
