Labels of Love

Nowadays in a relationship it is difficult to label it. If you've just met a person, what could you name him/her as? We've got thousands of names and labels, making it even harder to really know what he/she is for you. Friends? Boyfriend, buddy or fuck buddy? Date, exclusive or none-exclusive?

  Each label has a different meaning. Can one be a mix of multiple labels, or is it only one label for one sort of relationship? Is it impossible to be a lover and friend? And when is it appropriate to label a person?
