What does it mean to be "talking to someone"?

[Anonymous]

Just saw a girl say she's been "talking to a guy for 3 days". What does that even mean

And no, I don't mean what does it LITERALLY mean. I know what talking is, I'm human

[SkyCastle90]

Flirting without making it official, so that way she can always have one foot out the door or avoid guilt. In other words, it's like going to Costco every other day just to eat the same samples, but never buying/learning to make the food the samples are from. It's a waste of time.

[Asker]

So, she's loitering

[SkyCastle90]

Ha! Exactly!

In my opinion, you're either for it or you're not.

I would say it’s that point in a relationship where the person might’ve expressed interest or is being flirty. However, you haven’t defined the relationship or went on a date. Virtually it’s the phase right before dating.

[Asker]

So why call it anything at that point. You're literally "just friends"

[Wintergrace]

Because it’s not just friends. The person might be hinting at dates and a relationship, but it hasn’t been explicitly said yet. It’s not exactly the same as friends

[Asker]

That makes NO sense whatsoever

[jestergent]

It means she's keenly interested in that person she is talking to. Not a force in the world can stop it. It can mean she is no longer interested in you. Only chance is to wait 3-6 months. Longer if there are fights back and forth. Much longer.

[Asker]

What

[Browneye57]

She's trying to decide if he's worth fucking or not. Duh.
If'n he's got a big dick she might. Or a lot of dough. Either one will give her the vag-tingles.
What do YOU have?

[Asker]

So what you're saying is, she's loitering

[Browneye57]

LOL. Deciding. It's ALWAYS ALL about the FEELZ.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

It means that she is getting to know someone, going on dates with them, or is in a relationship with someone. In that case, it would be that she has been literally talking to someone, getting to know them, for 3 days.

[Asker]

So, they're becoming "friends"?, or

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Uh, not necessarily.

[Asker]

Uh, yeah

[honeynut-scenarios]

No more “talking” stages. We’re either dating, or I’m single. He can talk to God, not me.

[Asker]

What?

[honeynut-scenarios]

I said what I said

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

It means they're in the "talking stage" of getting to know one another to see if there's enough interest to take it to the dating/hanging out stage..

[joyfulltannies]

the way i see it is that both parties know that they are interested and either person could be waiting to get asked out. it just depends on the person because it's different for everyone.

[Iron_Man]

There might be an interest that they’re going to date soon or they’re just friends

[OddBeMe]

Usually is an excuse to say you’re “in a relationship…sorta”.
