"Omg are you two talking?" "Are you guys a thing?"

I live with the generation who made up these terms and I literally don't even know what they truly mean. "Talking" and "being a thing" with someone is the most vague and pointless terms I've ever heard.

I feel like these terms are just ways of people being in a relationship, but not having the commitment of a relationship. So this way if something better comes along, someone can always come back with "Well we weren't ever dating or boyfriend/girlfriend so it wasn't cheating." It's honestly all so pathetic.

Some people don't even bother with a nonsense title. Some people are just out looking for the hookups. Once I got to college I realized how awful it truly is. Getting snap messages everyday from the same kid to "come cuddle and watch Netflix." You'd think after the first 10 times of being rejected they'd give up, but nope. I swear college guys are a whole other species when it comes to this.

So what does this mean for future relationships? It means that they'll probably never be true or real in anyway. Even now these relationships don't mean very much. We think divorce rates are high now, with this mentality they're probably be even higher. No one knows how to stay faithful and committed; if people can't handle a true relationship now, then they're never going to be able to be to commit to one person for the rest of their lives.

These relationships need to be put to an end. For the people out there that are looking for a true honest relationship, good luck.
