Discussion Groups / English Usage / November 2006Can anyone tell me the definition of my relationship?
First off, I would like to apologize in advance if these are not the best NGs to post my story, and question. Every morning I walk on the beach and then stay there for a while to see the wonderful scenery. In September I encountered a beautiful woman on the beach, and we have been walking on a same path. One day, I decided to smile, at first she ignored me, then one day she smiled at me, which turn into waving, and then eventually into joint walking. All this time she would never say anything to me, nor answers my questions. Every morning I would say things like: "hi", "how are you?", "what's your name?" she would look straight, and ignore anything I say, or ask. Three weeks ago she kissed me, and eventually we end up having sex in her beach house. Since October we have been walking in the morning, we kiss, have sex, and no talk. She still doesn't tell me her name. I thought about looking at her things when I was at her house - but decided against it. I am very confuse about my relationship with her. What is the definition of my relationship with her if it doesn't fall into dating category? I know she is not mute, because I have heard her talking to other people on the cell phone, and her English perfect. Nevertheless, she never say anything to me. It is always the same, walk, kiss, and sex. My English is not very good, and her muteness or shyness towards me makes it difficult to know how to ask her about my relationship status with her. > First off, I would like to apologize in advance if these are not > the best NGs to post my story, and question.

Normally, when we men date women, we get to know by means of conversation where our relationship is going. I must admit that I didn't care for such mushy stuff until I met her. I need to know what the hell is going on. Am I dating her, or is this just part of her morning exercise? Let me try to explain this. When relationship progress a bit more, couple spend more time with each other. Weekends, travel to another city, shopping, cooking, math club, book club, and astronomy. This is what I did with my ex-girlfriend. > Let me try to explain this. When relationship progress a bit > more, couple spend more time with each other.

It was indeed, but I was wondering whether her books were still read by younger people, or whether she was a passing phenomenon who made a brief splash when _Fear of Flying_ was first published.

But still, I suspect that the first case applies. A Google search for "zipless f.ck" produces about 12,600 hits, not a very large number, of which the 8 of the first 10 (these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipless_fuck http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=zipless+fuck http://www.poemhunter.com/quotations/fuck/ http://www.ericajong.com/timeoutny9809.htm http://www.ericajong.com/fishkinessaypg2.htm http://www.guardian.co.uk/women/story/0,3604,999556,00.html http://www.numberonehitsong.com/archives/001901.php http://experts.about.com/e/z/zi/Zipless_fuck.htm ) all either specifically cite Jong or are on her own web site. So do Of the other two hits, one is amazon.com's search for books containing the phrase, and the other is this article http://www.newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/nightlife/sex/features/n_8227/index.html in which the context "...it's now the 2003 version of the zipless f.ck..." clearly implies that the expression is dated.
