I think the term "fuck buddies" or "friends with benefits" is more appropriate when it comes to you and Jamie as it spells out the nature of the situation clearly. If you're not going on dates and neither of you are committed to each other or to a relationship, then "girlfriend" is not accurate terminology. Yeah, it's just a label but it's misleading.
Well, we've gone on a few dates. First was to dinner, next was to karaoke, and then dinner and a porn shop. Besides, most people aren't comfortable with the term "fuck-buddies", so there ya go. Aaaand, most people dating aren't really looking for a permanent thing either; that's just something that kinda happens on it's own. The fact that we accept the fact just helps us know where we stand, is all.
I'd say only prudes and certain social situations where the term "fuck" isn't appropriate would it be uncomfortable to say "fuck buddies", hence "friends with benefits".
"...most people dating aren't really looking for a permanent thing either" I have to disagree as I don't believe "most people" is accurate. If the people have been dating a short period of time then that would be correct and in which case they would be in the "seeing each other" stage. It goes seeing each other/dating to then saying, "Okay, we're still enjoying each other and it's time to be exclusive." That's where boyfriend/girlfriend comes into play.
By your logic, one could argue that everyone in a relationship that's not legally acknowledged is not in "a permanent thing".
I don't mean to harp on you about this. I just find the whole thing contradictory based on our conversations, what you said to friends of ours, and then this post.
