everyone has different definitions..that being said, everyone goes about relationships differently, and to have one person say there is only one way doesn't know anything and is lyieng, we all need to taylor the way we go about 'meeting people' our own way. not everyone is the same. there is no wrong or right. i have gone on blind dates, i have well lets just say without too much detail i have a well rounded history of all diffeent ways you might meet someone. with my current partner we had no idea when we started "dating" we kinda just bumped into each other from mutual friends and just never seperated , meet, moved in 2 days later, and here i am now still livin together. things happen in all different ways
