What is a talking stage? Some of you older folks probably have no clue of what I’m talking about but google will give you the simple definition of “Those early days of infatuation when you’re getting to know someone before possibly entering a committed relationship.” But what really is it and why are there so many questions to ask like “do you have to stay loyal to the other person” or “do you tell people about the person you’re talking to” or “is it okay to be talking to multiple people at the same time.” Well I have a story for you and I am going to tell you why it’s probably best to stay loyal or not talk to them at all.
So I met this boy and he added me on snap-chat. For a couple of weeks things were going great. We would text from morning to night, we would face-time, and I was starting to think we were in the “talking stage”. I didn’t really know what to do about it or who to tell so I told some of my close friends. It continued to go well and we would talk non-stop. For the next part you need some background. I moved here at the beginning of my junior year from a school about 2 hours away near Denton. So one day I was talking to my best friend from my old school and we were just talking about life and of course being teenage girls we wanted to know about boys. My friend ended up asking if I was talking to a boy and I of course told her yes and his name. It took her a minute to reply and she told me to send a picture. I kinda just figured that she just wanted to see if he’s cute or not. But then she followed the pictures I showed of him with his snap-chat on her phone asking if that was him. I was confused and told her yes and asked how she knew. She ended up saying that they were kind of talking but it hadn’t been that long. Being a little frustrated I just didn’t know what to say so I left him on delivered for a while. Then she texted him asking if he was talking to someone else and he replied with no, then immediately texted me again about something random. The next day I found out that not only was he talking to me and my best friend, he was also talking to her other friend.
Overall my opinion about talking stages is to stay loyal or just don’t lead the other person on if you’re talking to other people and especially don’t let it be their best friend.
