“The talking stage is kind of like the test run of a situationship,” says Nandini, a 20-year-old college student in Austin. “It's this period of developing the feelings before you're even actually dating.” Isn't that just… dating? No!
The only difference between relationship and situationship is that there is no label or commitment. This means, even if you treat each other as...

Read More »“The talking stage” is a label apparently coined by Gen Z’ers to describe a maddening, un-defined early stage of many relationships. “The talking stage is kind of like the test run of a situationship,” says Nandini, a 20-year-old college student in Austin. “It’s this period of developing the feelings before you’re even actually dating.” Isn’t that just…dating? No! It’s the talking stage! “It’s basically doing everything that is required of a relationship without the relationship title,” says Tatyana, a 22-year-old in Tampa. “Excuse my language, but the best way to describe the talking stage is a shituationship.” This is…just…what? Millennials spent years explaining to our elders that “casual dating” is different than being “exclusive” and “exclusive” is different than being “in a relationship,” and being “in a relationship” does not mean you instantly introduce them to your parents, oh my God, Mom. To boomers this system was inane and depressing. To millennials it was normal. But now, learning about this Gen-Z innovation that extends the dating process even more, I, a millennial, feel a thousand years old. I am catching a vibe, as they say, and the vibe is that I want to be euthanised. “One big trend that we’re seeing among Gen-Z daters is just more comfort navigating ambiguity, less attachment to titles, and being more fluid in general,” Logan Ury, director of relationship science at dating app Hinge, tells Glamour. But the talking stage isn’t exclusive to Zoomers. You can find plenty of people shaking their slightly graying heads over the concept of the talking stage on social media every day. “I don’t think that this is generationally specific,” Ury says. We’re in what she calls a situationship epidemic. The question, she says, is, “Are people ready to really get intentional about who they are and what they’re looking for?” If you’re confused about the true definition of the talking stage, that’s in the spirit of the thing itself. The talking stage is a poorly defined, vague idea, just like a talking stage is a poorly defined, vague relationship between two people. It is an emotional onomatopoeia. Popular TikTok creator Chris Nappi offers this definition: “In those first 8 to 12 weeks of a relationship, in the pre-relationship talking stage, they still need to be showing good dating energy—taking you on dates, hitting you up, making you feel special, showing you respect, building trust—all the things you would want in a relationship.”
Although there is no fixed rule for when a relationship should become official, most couples go on five to six dates before talking about getting...
