SingleGirl: Wondering about “The Talk”

Posted by SingleGirl - 08/03/10 at 08:03 am

Several of my friends and I have been wondering about “the talk” and when it should happen.  I’ve been hearing a lot of conflicting reports (no need to talk, talk around date six, talk when you start spending “evening time” with said other person, and finally–avoid the talk at all costs and focus only on reading minds!) about when “the talk” should occur and what that means for the relationship.

Tall Drink approached the talk from two directions: Early on in our dating, he made it clear that he wasn’t going to date anyone else (though he wasn’t asking that of me, just stating that was what HE was going to do), and then, after a few months of dating (and strict avoidance by me of having any sort of talk.  I am the SingleGirl after all and therefore it’s obvious I’ve got commitment issues) he very cutely wondered if he was allowed to call himself my “acting boyfriend, interim boyfriend, or boyfriend apparent.”  As a woman who shies away from the commitment discussion–much like Britney shies away from singing live at her concerts–I was touched by how he used humor to make me laugh and realized he’s worth keeping around….and he deserved SOME sort of title and recognition in my life….

So, fellow citygirls, I have the honor to introduce my current Gentleman Caller and Main Squeeze: Tall Drink (of Water!)
