Witch of them is her?
Bitches, are their evil twins.
"In the last two years, ever since I gave up on a soap-operatic semi-dysfunctional relationship that lasted over half a decade, I have got to know about a dozen women, each of whom, I've had the dubious distinction of going out for a few weeks, extending to a maximum of three months.
"They were not relationships," argues my present "I-don't-know-what-to-call-this-or-where-to-slot-this-more-than-friendship-we-have" friend.
Hmmm... so I wonder: Is it really important to slot every bond we make into someplace or something? Don't relationships define themselves with time? I think most boy-girl friendships have potential to be relationships if pursued with an open mind and most girlfriend-boyfriend relationships are prone to failure even under commitment. So isn't it futile trying to slot them anyway when more or less all relationships are work-in-progress?
I've seen relationships turn to lasting friendships and friendships turn to solid relationships in a matter of time. A lot of the women I went out with are now either married or getting there and I like the fact that I can be friends with them and laugh about the twists that life had introduced to us.
So, does everything need to have a meaning? I think labels and terms give relationships a very transactional feel. I think slots, classifications and meanings are to show you mean business. And commitment seems like some sort of a memorandum of understanding!
Words, words, words. When all that they can express and more can be communicated by touch, by one simple hug and one tender kiss, in just a moment!
Can't we just ban words from relationships and just let people be? Happy, that is!"
