The ` are we dating` talk..... everybody dreads it.
Welcome to that awkward fork in the road for ANY Relationship...
You know that one guy you talk to non-stop everyday, hang out and have great one to one time with. Yet, what are you? It could be a number of different situations.
1.Friendship Zone - aka the friend zone. It's great if that's where you want things to go, but incredibly awkward if that's not what you were aiming for. Consider this a win win if you are in this spot. You're close enough that you can stop any additional emotions, turn it around and just go on being friends - without that awkward situation that occurs that one night each of you have too much to drink and decide to hop back home together. Everyone has been there and for sure done that. It's all about how you handle yourself which determines how it will all work out.
2. "We're Just talking" We've all been there - it's the limbo area. It's the area where you go out, have a few drinks, go to the movies and do fun things together. Flirting is everywhere, so everywhere that all your friends and their friends are asking how long you've been dating, or when you show up to events stag, your friends say " I was half excepting (insert we're just talking boys name here) with you" . How do you go from just talking to, dating or exclusive?
3. Dating - non exclusive its the part of the relationship where you're going out on dates, doing fun things together but who knows if there's someone else that is trying to bid for the same spot in the girlfriend pool. This is about the time that the dreaded "what are we..." talk occurs. It's when you have to decide if you're going to pursue this... are we going to go to the next step and just see each other exclusively? "Should I end it before it gets to serious?" How do you go about it? Who should take the lead? What's the next step? I've known a few girls who have just jumped right to it and did the notorious Facebook relationship status change. But I think that's the quickest way to scare a man away if you haven't even approached the idea or spoken about it.
4. Exclusive Dating: So, you've gotten over that hump; that awkward fork in the road. You did it - no matter how you did it, you put your big girl pants on and took the lead, or you played the vixen and let him take the lead and do all the talking. No matter how it happened, it's a big step to even get this far. That means you've both made an impression enough on each other to only date each other Here is where all the fun begins.
That's my take on life right now - I may be far off.

Merry Christmas - an insight into a dysfunctional family.
Merry Christmas!
As my first entry on my new blog, it was only suiting to not only wish you a Merry Christmas, but also introduce you to the lack of holiday cheer that occurs in my family.
Due to my sister's evening work schedule - we actually decided we would open gifts when she was done her shift - AT 3:00am in the bloody morning. Opening presents half asleep and miserable because you were woken up during the deepest part of your sleep is anything but joyous.
The rest of our "festivities" were anything but your normal events on Christmas. I slaved in the kitchen for over 2 hours making a breakfast that later was forgotten about.
We carried out with our dinner reservation...yes, reservation at the Mandarin. Where we were greeted by single people who had no where to go for the holidays and the entire population of the retirement home down the street, as well as a few classy folks that thought table manners and behaviour around food consisted off picking your nose and or teeth in public while waiting for you beef roast to be cut.
Besides the smell of sticky feet, it was a great experiences, I guess. Santa came in for a visit and my younger sister and I had our usual back and forth crazy banter that attracts laughs from anyone around us who decides to listen to our conversations.
Later on, I will go into detail about the people who know me the best, and got the best of gifts and the one gift I received by someone who SHOULD know me well, that was .... not me at all. It's a glorious tale and I'm sure it was situtaitons like this one that invented the holiday tradition of re-gifting.
I'm now about to go relax with my mother, watching a movie and soak our feet in our matching foot spas.
On a very serious note:
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I hope it is one filled with loved ones and good memories. Christmas is not about the gifts you receive but more about the love you receive through those gifts. You may not always see eye to eye with your family and loved ones, but the fact that they are all willing to come together and exchange gifts with you, often show they love and care for you.
Have a Happy Holiday!
Love, B
Here's a sneak peek into the cute sweater my mother bought me...... It's mustaches and adorable- LOVE IT
