I always talk about "the talk," where a couple explicitly says that they're a couple. For me, I'm not anyone's girlfriend until we've had "the talk." And until "the talk," I will date whoever I want.

I explained this to Cute Butt Boy tonight (again).

I guess he hadn't forgotten that he wanted to have a talk with me about our situation. He just felt like there wasn't an opportunity even though we've talked every day for the past few days. I kept trying to change the subject. I told him a bit about UnPorsche and I told him about being rejected by Hairy Butt Boy. I've told him all sorts of stories about guys I've dated. But he'd always go back to the topic of conversation.

Good on him!

So...we're going to try dating. No promises of anything. I know he is not in a place to be married and have kids, and that is fine. We've just never dated before. It's always been sack action and only sack action. He said he didn't like the idea when I suggested we not have any more contact.

I had told him that I didn't want to sleep with anyone that I wasn't dating, and I explained to him that I questioned "why would I would sleep with someone who doesn't even want to date me?" And since we had no other roots, there would have been no point in talking anymore.

I'm still a little guarded about what's going on, and I expressed to him again that I was a little suspicious that he wanted something a little more serious and was going to settle for me. I've just known a lot of guys who have settled because they don't want to be alone. He said that wasn't the case and that he has no problem meeting girls.

So...I guess we'll see.

We didn't have "the talk," but we had "a talk". Now I can't remember what this all means. But we have a date coming up for Saturday.
