Day 25 of 31

Once upon a time, there were two choices when it came to your love life: It’s either you’re single or you’re taken. A lot has changed since Facebook’s “It’s Complicated” status. Now, there’s a wide spectrum of relationship status labels. Friends with benefits, booty calls, polygamous, monogamous, separated, “talking,” casual dating, and on and on. Duh, relationships have always been complex (and sometimes messy) forever. It just seems like now, everyone wants a name for their love status. (Is it just me, or are labels SO IN this decade?) The road to love is much longer now. First you meet, then you go on a few dates, then you start to “casually” date, then you exclusively date, then you commit to relationship, then you commit to more serious relationship stuff (like marriage, babies, or mortgages).  On the flip side, you could meet that rare unicorn who is actually genuine, kind, honest, and gosh darn it, decent enough to pursue a real relationship from the get-go.
