The scenarios below are from real people that the staff gave as examples of modern day relationships. These scenarios are used as the backdrop for the female and male perspectives in this month's column.

1st Scenario

He said he didn't want a relationship when we first met, but we talk all the time, lunch together 2 times a week, then dinner and a movie on the weekends. So, what are we? He says "I told you from jump that I didn't want a relationship."

2nd Scenario

We knew each other through mutual friends; I kept bumping into him at all the clubs so we agreed to be friends with benefits. I cook him dinner three nights a week, he hangs out at my place, and I give myself to him whenever he wants me, but he never stays all night. Where are my benefits? How do I move this to the next level? He says "it's not that serious."

3rd Scenario

This guy wants my number, I tell him I'm not really interested in dating right now since I just broke up with my boyfriend. He says that's cool, we can just "kick it"; WTF. What does "kickin it" involve? If you don't know you better ask or else you could end up like #2.

We limited the article to 3 scenarios, but there were lots of additional examples of relationship interpretation differences!
