A relationship with a side of cheese, please....
Welcome to the world of 21st century relationships. The norms and vernacular of relationships evolve quickly, like a pokemon on steroids. From the classic "Harana" to the more hi-tech solution of "online dating", each generation has its own unique quirks and styles regarding this. Right now, let's focus on three of the basic ideas.
Idea 1: Kids today are confused. When they think of this, they usually associate it with copious amounts of sex, cheesy pick up lines (Are you a bank? 'Cause my interest in you grows daily), and Disney movies. Anyway, where would we be without this? If our hairy, nose-picking ancestors never discovered this, the human race would've died out a long time ago, since they may never have discovered that all-important process: Copulation. You and I would probably still be swimming around a big sea of cells, that is if our fathers were even born.
Idea 2: Hint: It's the title of a Mandy Moore song. Almost every relationship starts out as this, and why they decided to call it that, I don't know. It's probably because when it fails, you feel exactly like what this is called. It seems pretty shallow at first, but if all goes well, two people will have become happy, and the world's overpopulation problem's gonna get worse. This is when the guy or the girl says "There's a candidate to have offspring with" or something like it.
Idea 3: This is at the opposite end of the spectrum from Idea 1. This is usually the realm of raving fangirls, stalkers, and Bella Swan. It gets unhealthy if the person having it lets it take over their lives. It can be downright creepy and unproductive if the subject of the person's interest notes that he or she is being looked over. If you get to this stage, just try not to do anything stupid, like getting caught, or doing "The Manong Face."
Relationships now are more complex than ever. Friends with Benefits, Puppy Love, Cougars, and all other sorts of jargon keep popping up. Who knows what comes up in the next fifty or so years. Maybe they would discover that Justin Bieber really is a man. One thing's for sure, the basics like the ones above will always be there. And whether you found out what they are or not, I'm pretty sure all of us have experienced them once in our lives.
