Pounding yam and other things you should never do during talking stage

Here are some things you should never do during a talking stage.

One of the downsides of dating in this day and age is many people are relationship avoidant, they want the perks of being in a relationship but do not want to actually be in a relationship and that leaves them at a lull called the talking stage, which is why you shouldn’t do these things while you are in one.

If they have cravings, they can cook for themselves or order food. You are not in a relationship yet, save all that culinary skills for when you are married. Even when you are dating, you can’t start giving him or her married life experience.

Do not invest in the business, career or education of someone who you are just in a talking stage with. This investment only makes sense when you are married, no matter how much they beg you, don’t give in.

You have every right to say I am not kissing you unless we are in a relationship. You don’t have to give them head or have sex with them when you are just talking - unless you want to. If you do, then don’t think that means you are in a relationship.

You don’t want to give a clingy, jealous girlfriend or boyfriend vibe when you are just friends who spend time together and kiss sometimes. If you want to be exclusive, ask, and if they decline, gently ghost them.

Do not even think of borrowing a kobo for a talking stage, for a boyfriend or girlfriend. It is risky, not to mention a flimsy talking stage. You may end up spending years to pay the debt off, and you would have blocked their number already.

A talking stage is meant for talking! Do not move in with them and start washing, cleaning, scrubbing. Please, don't.
