What Even Is the “Talking” Phase? 10 People Share Their Thoughts.

Today we’re going to discuss the single most controversial topic of our age: IS A HOT DOG A SANDWICH?

I guess today we’re discussing the SECOND most controversial topic: what the hell is going on with the “talking” phase of a relationship? When I was a kid, it wasn’t even a word we used in regard to dating. Granted, I was a kid at the time, so I guess I wasn’t dating. What I mean to say is – this particular designation seems fairly recent, and you get the impression that hardly anyone can agree on how to even define it, much less how we should feel about it.
