The most wonderful yet somewhat puzzling thing happened. I've been introduced to French dating. Oui oui, les français! Instead of dragging things out for what seems like forever through the "talking stage", "seeing someone stage", "dating stage" and finally "couple status", they organically just understand that if you do things that a boyfriend and girlfriend would do, then you're obviously boyfriend and girlfriend. How novel! How charming! How refreshing! In fact, they don't even necessarily have a formal conversation about it. It just kind of happens and the next thing you know you're referring to your copin and your his petite amie.

So Toronto singles over 30, when do you think you should achieve couple status? Do you wait for a certain period of time? Do you need a certain number of dates? Do you look for a certain milestone to pass? Or maybe just maybe there's a little magic and you both just know you don't want anyone else?
