I’m basically living with this guy now. I keep saying “guy” because it feels too soon to call him my boyfriend or say we’re actually dating. It’s still kind of a getting-to-know-each-other thing, but we’re also fucking and pretty much living like a couple lol.

    You met three days ago? And you are “basically living together”?

    Considering the length, it’s a fling. Considering you haven’t talked about it, it’s a situationship.

    My unwanted and unasked advice is to take some distance for at least a day before calling it anything at all. And then talk about expectations.

    Honestly (anecdote time!), when I started going out with my partner, I had some weird and totally personal hang ups with the word “boyfriend”. So for a couple of months they were “the person I am seeing” then became my “partner”. We had the conversation about exclusivity and such, talked about where we saw stuff going and so on, but wording was difficult. A word is just a word, as long as you both agree on the rest it doesn’t really matter much.

        Yeah that doesn’t make it less bad of an idea, actually probably worse of one.

        Have fun. Don’t get killed. Bail when it starts going south. Learn from the experience

        That’s a fling, then. It could develop into something different, but that’s all it is at the moment.
