We went to see Star Wars, Episode 3, because Josh said he has seen all five in the theatre and he isn't going to miss this one. So forcibly (okay I really wanted to go)we went with Josh's brother and his wife.
Funny enough, Josh and I started talking about when we were technically single. It was this phase in our relationship, (not-a-relationship) that we were exclusively dating but we're single. Back burner boyfriend. Well, it got to a point that we were seeing so much of each other, and there wasn't really any prospects we wanted to go out with that we officially started saying we were dating. Wait a minute, because you have to understand Josh was not ready to admit that he really liked me, that I might just be "the one." However I know, I was pretty persistant, (why we will never know) and eventually he gave into my charm and wit. End of story.
Well, we somehow got on the topic of it at the movie theatre with Barn and Lis, and they went through the same phase. Except since Melissa and Josh are alike in a lot of ways, it was Melissa who wasn't ready to admit, and Barney was just ruining her plans for a good career and 2.5 cats (okay not the cats part, but it sounded good, didn't it?).
So really technically single means I am in a relationship with you but I'm ready to admit it to myself yet. Because it's just not the right time darn it, and I was just not expecting it. Being confined, without being confined at the same time. Not-a-date. Technically single. Just one big long hang-out session. One of those paradoxes, I guess.
The whole point is that even though we went through this phase, it was one of those times when we started hitting the hard topics of the relationship. For us, it was religion, being that Josh was Catholic and me Protestant, we had to nail this one down, if we ever thought that we would actually get married and all.
Really, it's one of the grieving processes of dating.
