Just Committed

One of my batch mates was asked about his relationship status. He replied as - Just Committed. Yes, it sounds a lot like 'Just Married', maybe there's a whole new meaning to it.
  • Either he recently got committed .... like a day or maybe an hour ago
  • Or he was going to fulfill this commitment just for the time being
  • Third reason - let's leave it for the time being
Conventionally, relationship status is about the present. Ironically, it's not! It reminds you more about your past (in case you've recently broken up and your status is 'Single again') or about your future (that's when your status is 'Still single' and you want to be committed asap).

For somebody like Barney who avoids relationships totally, there's the lemon law.

Barney's lemon law for dating gives a person 5 minutes to decide if the date will go on the rest of the night or not. They can call the date off for any reason in the first 5 minutes, avoiding bad dates.

I'm not really sure if this applies to the Indian context as well as it does in NY. Coz dates are limited in supply and the demand is more. So hang on to the relationship status cliche till then. What else can we think of ?
  • Partly committed
  • Moderately committed
  • Anonymously committed
Don't know what my status is out of these, but i'm surely confused.
