thanks. 'in a relationship' is fine, i just think it sounds...formal. i don't need people i don't know to know about what i'm doing, i just need them to know i'm not-- available. so. 'taken'. [ This is all slanted in a way Will's not entirely sure what to do with, so maybe he'll just...move this along. And not focus on the way it feels to imply that kind of connection between them. ]
i guess we are 'trying something out', though. that's what all dating is.
