Here is an article I came by while taking a break in Starbucks:
"In last week's column you used the term Official Discussion, or OD, to describe the conversationwhere a couple sits down and discusses their couplehood. I'm writing to tell you that a good term for that conversation already exists: DTR, which stands for "define the relationship".
Usage: "I thought we were just going to hang out, but then she turned it into a DTR."
It can be a verb too: "I need to DTR him and find outwhat's what."
This term is widespread at - are you ready for this? - Brigham Young University.
I was surprised when I moved away to discover that the term isn't widely used by everyone. Its quite handy, and surely it doesn't only apply to young heterosexual Mormons.
