Label Me

I had a discussion with my friends the other day about labels in relationships. A lot of girls and guys in my age group are into this trend of not wanting to be in a relationship. They just want to have their options out there and chill. So my question to this is does people without the infamous boyfriend/girlfriend label have less rules, boundaries and privileges than someone who is a boyfriend/girlfriend? In my opinion i feel like a label on your relationship is important for the simple fact that people outside of it have to respect if your a boyfriend or girlfriend. I mean not all have a level of respect for relationships but at the end of the day they can never question whether or not that individual is involved with someone exclusively. With a Label comes rules and boundaries that is much needed in any relationship. People need to know there places and when and if they can cross it. When you're just "talking" to someone you really have no say as to what goes on in the other persons personal business. You just have to deal with whatever comes with them. The other guys. the other girls. No protests. No complaints. Having a title as boyfriend/girlfriend is something that i would feel 100% comfortable with. I mean anything can happen but its just such a comforting feeling to know "yea that's MY man" lol. At the end of the day any form of relationship should have an understanding between the two people involved and no one should be confused about what kind of label they contain.
