The time becomes embarrassing instead of impressive
You feel proud to tell people you’ve been dating someone for three or four years. It’s a stamp that says, “I’m a solid, reliable, loyal person.” But telling people you’ve been dating for seven, eight, nine years…can feel funny. The words “Dating” and “A decade” don’t seem to go together. You don’t really care, but you acknowledge that it sounds odd. It seems like “dating” is a phase that shouldn’t go on forever. You wish there was something else between “dating” and “married.”
