What Charles Ryder and Julia Flyte do on the ship back to England in Catholic convert Evelyn Waugh's 1945 novel Brideshead Revisited.

"All next day Julia and I spent together without interruption; talking, scarcely moving, held in our chairs by the swell of the sea."

talking

When two people are not exclusive with each other nor have established what they are as a couple, but have some sort of relationship.

"John and I go out a lot but we're just talking." or "We've been talking for months now but we're not together."

The stage between 'just friends' and 'dating'. Usually ends badly without closure, as there wasn't an actual relationship. Almost never materializes into a real relationship either. Also really stupid. Basically friends with benefits, but both parties have feelings for the other. Really confusing because that should just be dating. There shouldn't be an in between period of awkwardness and 'defining the relationship'.

"I see Kim and Tom together a lot! Are they dating?"

"No, they're talking."

"Oh. That's dumb."

to me talking is you when you are really into someone and want to be in a relationship with them but want to make sure you 100% like that person and ready to be with them in a relationship before you confirm anything it’s like you don’t want to go into a relationship blind about that person and half way through realize you don’t actually like them. so your “talking” with them first and if your talking to someone your basically taken idc.

girl: hey matt your really cute we should hook up sometime🥰
guy: sorry i’m actually talking to someone right now
