Dixy's System of Romantic Measurement

I just have to write a blog on this. :)
This weekend, my friend Dixy and I, in company with my boyfriend, some friends and her roommates, created a system of measurement for romantic relationships. Dixy was trying to pin Chris to where he thought our relationship stood. "On a scale of 1 to 10, where does your relationship fall?" Chris being himself, he had to have specifics, thus was born the System, as follows:

0-Strangers. You just don't even know each other.

1-Acquaintances. You met at Wal-Mart, thought s/he was cute.

2-Casual friends. You see each other in classes, at work, casz parties, etc.

3-Good friends. You hang out, you talk.

4-Interested. There's definitely some sparks there, but no action as yet.

5-Dating. You're going on dates, but you're still seeing other people

6-Third Date Stage. This one's tricky: it doesn't necessarily fall at the third date. It just means that you've gone out a few times, you like each other, and you've decided to move forward with things.

7-Serious dating. You're going out steady, only with each other, and often.

8-Engaged. This means a ROCK on her finger.

9-Pre-wedding. Everything's planned, you're raring to go.

10-Married.


Dixy frequently adds an 11, which is the wedding night, but I like to think that 10 is where the buck stops. :)

At any rate, this system allows for a quick and relatively easy DTR, and it's fun! You can't talk about this system without a good laugh! At least, we couldn't. :)
