"Have you all ever stressed about when to put a title on a relationship? I know that I used to always want to add the &amp;quot;boyfriend/girlfriend&amp;quot; title right away. If a guy didn&amp;#039;t want to officially be my boyfriend, then I was extremely offended and/or hurt. That would just make me feel that he didn&amp;#039;t want to be with me. Now, my perspective is a little bit different. After the recent string of losers that I&amp;#039;ve dated, I put myself on a strict &amp;quot;no boy&amp;quot; ban. I promised myself not to get into a relationship for the next 10 years, at least. Okay, fine. Maybe not 10 years, but definitely until the end of this school year. I had all of these grand ideas about being selfish and independent and loving the single life. At the start of the year, I totally did love being single. There is something SO nice about only having to think about your own schedule. When I first started talking to Kevin a lot, I warned him right away that I wasn&amp;#039;t on the market and I didn&amp;#039;t want another boyfriend, but sometimes you can&amp;#039;t help it when things start to happen with someone.  We&amp;#039;ve been &amp;quot;dating&amp;quot; for a few months now, and he has recently started asking me about our official title. For some reason, the word &amp;quot;boyfriend&amp;quot; just freaks me out now. Our relationship is going so well that I don&amp;#039;t want to complicate it by adding a title. We both know that we like each other, so why do we have to put a label? In my opinion, there just isn&amp;#039;t a point. And, worse case scenario, if anything bad happens, then we&amp;#039;ll have to officially break up, and it&amp;#039;ll be harder to maintain a friendship afterwards. When is a label a necessity?  I guess from his point of view, maybe he thinks that I don&amp;#039;t really like him that much or I want to be free to date other people too, so I see both sides. Maybe I&amp;#039;ll change my mind with a little more time and it&amp;#039;s just too soon for a serious title. What do you all think? Is an official label a big deal or am I just overreacting?
