Everyone tosses around the word "relationship". We want a relationship, we are/were in a relationship, he/she didn't want a relationship.

When IS it a relationship? After the first date when you want to see each other again? After sex is involved? When you move in together?

And just what does the word "relationship" mean to you?

Good question, there's no one answer to it. I guess when the couple decides they're in one.

It's not a relationship until one person declares their interest in the other person, and the other person gladly accepts. Until then, you're just two people (or friends) hanging out. Nothing more.

When is it a "relationship"

When the woman declares it to be. Woe to the average guy who is not interested in one with her.

Yeah, right. Do you have "mother" issues or did you just get shut down one too many times for being the way you are?

I believe a relationship is when two people continue to see each other on a regular basis. You should know what kind of relationship it is by how you treat each other. It's also about the connection you have with that person. A relationship could mean many thing's so you have to decide what kind of relationship you are in and whether this person is in the relationship with you.

The minute the people involved have something beyond a friendship, it is a relationship. And, the period where their status is undeclared as an exclusive couple, my advice is to step cautiously, for this a most vulnerable period of time.
