Titles

[KAPital PHINUst]

Personally speaking, if the titles aren't fiance/fiancee or husband/wife, then I neither want nor need a title.

I have never been comfortable with these modern "boyfriend/girlfriend" titles for the following reasons:

- The terms itself sounds juvenile
- It creates an artificial sense of commitment
- It encourages a "playing house" mentality in the sense of maintaining a relationship

I find it hard to take boyfriend/girlfriend relationships seriously for those reasons: your loyalty is dubious at best when you prematurely stake a claim on someone else's life.

The best "title" I can have for a women for whom we share a mutual interest in each other is simply "friend". And if the friendship deepens, and we decide we want to spend the rest of our lives with each other permanently, then we'll have appropriate titles such as fiance(e) and husband/wife.

if she/he isn't the fiance(e) or husband/wife...they are just a friend. Can you date other people?
