Talking Stage

The early phase of dating where you're texting and seeing each other but not officially dating.

Definition

The talking stage is the ambiguous early period of two people getting to know each other — texting, occasional dates — before either has committed to dating. It can last from days to months. The term has become a generational shorthand for the in-between zone that defines most app-mediated romance.
