- Not necessarily. (Hell, am I agreeing with Ed here? Oh well...)
-
- Several years ago I had an involvement with someone that was
- _definitely_ a Relationship, even though there were only four dates
- (and numerous phone calls, etc.). She lived 800+ miles away, and we
- didn't get to see each other that often.
-
- It happens that each of those dates was at least a weekend long, but
- the argument was over counting them :-)
-
- Hell, I know one couple that could probably claim to have had _no_
- dates, but still a relationship: they've been together for several
- years now, and may not have been out of each other's company since
- they first met :-)
