Ok folks, a serious question here…
If a guppie posts a question/query/story, etc. about himself/herself involving a romantic relationship with a member of the opposite sex, would you infer that these two people are sleeping together (having sex) or at least being physical on some level? If not, what would/wouldn’t you assume and based on what?
unless I see the photos in the image gallary, I ain't assuming nuthin!
^ Come on seriously though...I mean let's say given that the guppie isn't married to this other person, what would/wouldn't you assume?
Sweeti Ji, I personally dont assume anything, and sometimes I dont even believe what I see or read. I am very non-presumptuous person.
Well assuming that I believe the story itself, it would be safe to presume that the couple are somewhat physically involved otherwise I really don't see how they're involved in a "romantic relationship". If there is no physicality, then I am sure everyone would have a LOT of romantic relationships.
^ Hi, that is how I would view it too.
You miss corner room too, my savenli sundari? 
^ Do I miss the Corner Room? Not really. It was fun to post stupid stuff in there though if one was bored. It also allowed one to be…shall we say…daring?
:french:
I learned two days into Gupshup that this ain't the forum to discuss my wild fantasies or adventures of the past nor curiosities of the unseen... it's just a folking family forum.
^ Fungus, seriously please try answering my question in the post. What is your view on this? Thanks.
i actually wouldnt assume physicality. i still hark back to old school ways where the biwi ka bhai used to accompany newlyweds to the theatre.
If someone posted having a romantic relationship then I would assume there is some physical contact involved. No, not necessarily sleeping together. Probably, everything but intercourse.
Am I the only one who does not equate romance with physical intimacy? I guess so.
what am i, chopped liver?
Oh, woops, sorry. I didn’t see your post. 
Dont you have to make it a 'relationship' before getting physical?
Time and again I have asked what this corner room is/was? Assuming that it was there to talk ur sexual fantasies/issues out there, why has it been removed from here? Does anyone care telling me please?
mehnaz it happens often to me. people often lean on me for support thinking im a lamp post.
MuslimQueen, i guess the idea is that it will either be physical, or it isnt physical simply because the people involved havent been involved enough yet. I guess for me, once the relationship transforms to something more permanent, then it should be physical. doesnt mean it must be strictly platonic in the meanwhile.
I guess this idea is more common in more assimilated people. God knows. coming from spending 22 years in pakistan/pakistan-lite, thankfully, these ideas are still confined to a very limited niche society.
At one point I used to be quite naive in such manner and would never believe that a relationship would ever involve anything physical, that those things only happened after marriage. Well then I entered college and discovered a whole other side to the issue. The concern pertaining to whether pre-marital relations and such are right/wrong aside, I think that if a guy was to say that he is seeing/dating someone (having a relationship with that person)…and vice versa as same would work re: a girl…then I would naturally assume that at the very least some level of physicality is involved there. But that is just my two cents on this topic.
i guess its somewhere in between. i know of relationships in my undergrad in pakistan where there was physicality in relationships. i know where there was physicality without relationships. and i also know of relationships that have lasted for years and ultimately ended in marriage with no more physicality than that of good friends.
