Managing your expectations during the talking stage refers to both managing expectations about who the other person is as well as who they are to you.

The talking stage is an undefined phase in a relationship in which no labels have been set but there is definite romantic intrigue. Think lots of flirting, mostly through texting, FaceTimes, and phone calls.
People in a talking stage will also see one another in person, usually in the form of “hangouts” that are really dates without actually being called dates but are definitely date-like and flirtatious and they might even hook up. But if you ask either party what they are in regards to one another, they will most likely say something along the lines of, “We’re just talking.”
Feeling confused and stressed yet? Great! Then you understand what a talking stage is.
