Even though I may not be the best or most reliable person to hear relationship quotes from, cause I am definitely a (excuse the colloquialism) "noob" at this, but I still have my own opinion. This article hear is basically comparing how a relationship (with its many steps and stages) are similar to the stages of achieving one's driver's license. To explain this clearly, I'll use person A and person B as explanatory figures. And here it goes:
Throughout every relationship in the world (in this case, the relationship between a male and female) there are stages that are overcome slowly or quickly in order for the two agents of the event to reach their final conclusion of 'being together'. From this, it is arguable that relationships are similar to that of one's driving life. During someone's driving experience, the stages are (in order):
- 'Ls' or Learner
- 'Ps' (red) or Red Probation
- 'Ps' (green) or Green Probation
- Full License
The L's
It is not too surprising that there is a learner stage of a relationship, similarly there are learner stages to everything in the world. The learner stage of a relationship is the time when 'A' slowly learns more about 'B', to find out if he/she is definite about their feelings towards 'B'. After the finalisation of this, 'A' will either:
- Tell 'B' about his/her feelings
OR
- 'B' will eventually find out.
The awareness of the feelings of 'A' is the first step taken by 'B'. 'B' must also have feelings, and allow 'A' to acknowledge this for the completion of this stage of the relationship, moving to the next stage.
The Red P's
This stage of the relationship is not too complex. In modern day society terms, this stage is simply known as 'A' and 'B' "see-ing each other". It is like the dipping of the toe into a pool, before jumping in; the sip of the drink before gulping it; the blurb of a book. The "seeing stage" is always shown and acknowledged to be a testing (or literal probation) stage of every relationship. It allows both parties to learn more about the other, and a bit about themselves, to see if they are well suited for each other before the start dating each other, usually a very quick stage (same as the Red P's of driving), sometimes even skipped.
The Green P's
Same as driving, this stage and the "full license" stage are pretty much the same. This stage of the relationship is when the two parties admits for their feelings towards each other, and also believe that they are well suited for each other. In colloquial terms, this is known as 'dating'. The dating level of a relationship is... self explanatory. Everyone knows what this stage is like, and similarly to the Green P's of driving, up until now, it is the level with the longest period of time.
Full License
Full License! The never ending and final stage of every relationship. People wonder what else is there after dating someone, this is simply placed in one word: 'marriage'. The final step that can be taken in the love relationship between two individuals. The marriage of 'A' and 'B' is the biggest jump out of all the stages. This is the final committing and final level of the relationship. It is similar to that of the Green P's stage, except, instead of being called "boyfriend and girlfriend", they are now "husband and wife". The change in names and addition of other factors, like 100% commitment are the only factors that distinguish this stage and that of the previous level. This ending stage is the dream end for every couple in every relationship. But to accomplish their goal, up until this stage is harder done than said. It is due to the fact that there are many factors that may influence the reaching of this stage, and that pairs may not last up until this stage from the start.
Despite the stupidity of this, I just wanted to place the message out, that like driving, relationships are fun, yet requires strict guidelines to maintain and all; but still require step by step processing to be able to reach the final goal. The comparison between licenses and relationships just sounded very similar to me, resulting in this post, enjoy! =)
