<p>Everyone I know asks each other out, asking to go steady is ancient. Not that you shouldn't do it, I'm just saying it's funny hearing that again.</p>
<p>asking out... going steady... its all the same thing, although the phrase "go steady" is rather relic</p>
<p>I did laugh at that phrase. But, for the most part, things are pretty casual here. A lot of times it's not like you're "official", but everyone knows it. If that makes sense :p</p>
<p>umm...yeah..mixed jargon and slang?</p>
<p>I outright asked my bf if we were girlfriend/boyfriend (which differentiated between just hanging out/dating casually and steady-exclusive for me)... or what would he be comfortable with... that style really depends on the nature of the relationship...
at the time, we only went out on a few dates, but i didn't consider that a real relationship-type thing.. a date/asking out does not mean a relationship...</p>
<p>elladorkess... at MY school, dating around usually calls for dating for "benefits". I think that people have different interpretations of things, and this could lead to some hurt feelings; at least that's what I've seen. Of course as a wise person once told me before class today, "a relationship takes a lot of hard work."</p>
<p>"a relationship takes a lot of hard work."</p>
<p>This is so true.</p>
<p>do people still "go steady"? where would you go like a sock hop?</p>
<p>I live in CA. don't know if it's my high school/city, but whatever</p>
<p>I think "going steady" isn't the right term now. I'm not sure what it is. Perhaps serious relationship or something.</p>
<p>Yeah, "going steady" is very cliched...Things like that were said in the fifties and sixties...You're either going out or you're not...That's how it is.</p>
<p>still think dating (bf/gf status) is different than asking out and going on a few dates with them.. perhaps it's my old-fashioned self. anyways, keeping things clear from the beginning is always good. that way, you don't have hurt feelings... and focus on relationships that you want to work.</p>
<p>Haha, I just waited until my girlfriend started referring to us as bf/gf. Safest route.</p>
<p>^good idea. ....</p>
<p>Yet she might be waiting for you to call her your "girlfriend"...then again, that might just alienate her from you...</p>
<p>Yeah, I had/have a crazy stalker that left me secret admirer notes. It was extremely creepy and then he started im'ing me and calling me baby and girlfriend. It was horribly creepy, disgusting, etc. I've rejected him like everyday but he didn't really get the clue so I just avoided him a ton. And changed my sn.</p>
<p>awww... thats cute, but with that whole wait til she call you b/f thing dont do it!!! I tried that once, but the girl got tired of me not asking her out and eventually moved on.... well she dated the other guy for a week then she broke up with him and we went out, but needless to say i was ****ed for that week</p>
