According to urban dictionary, talking is " when two people are not exclusive with each other nor have established what they are as a couple, but have some sort of relationship."

If you're a young adult, you are probably familiar with the talking stage. Although some of you still do things more traditionally by going on dates with someone.

I'm over the this 'talking" stage and what it has turned into.

I'm over the "it is but it isn't".

There has to be an age where this is no longer acceptable. We can't go our whole lives with uncertain situations because nobody wants to take a risk, or give their time to one person.

There are tweets all over Twitter of people that want something real in there lives. Yet we still continue to do the same things.

Why are we stuck in this continuation of the "talking" stage?

I understand that the age of texting and social media has made it easier to meet people and get to know them but its also turned into the lack of committing to someone.

We create these relationships that have no definition. No one has to be in a relationship, no one has to take someone out on a date and no one has to do the things it takes to lead to long term relationships like marriage.

It's frustrating to see so many people that dream about their future families, their spouse, kids, careers, homes, when no one puts the effort in it takes to get there one day.

Are we going to start telling each other that our significant others, whom we built a life with is going to be someone we're talking to or "with but not with".

There has to be a point where we all grown up and realize that this doesn't work.

The talking stage was created to replace traditional dating. Its purpose is to getting to know someone and if you like them, get into a relationship with them.

Its not supposed to be something you do for years. Its being abused and it has to stop.

One of these days we might all end up lonely, texting someone we are attracted to because we got caught up in the "talking" stage.
