    That really assumes the person being asked has some idea what the talking phase is. You literally cannot clearly answer a question that doesn’t make sense. Is ‘talking’ a positive thing? An ‘only friends’ reference? Coming back from an argument?

      The “talking phase” is an extremely common term for a specific place in a relationship, especially for younger people.

      I personally don’t use it because it leaves too much ambuguity but that’s not up to me.

        The post you are commenting in is literally an 18 year old who doesn’t know what “talking phase” means, in fact you seem to be the only one in this entire comment section who has heard it before. Kinda a big Stacy to call the phrase “extremely common”.
