"Definitions"

What is it about HIMYM that gets me hooked? Maybe it's the story lines of the show since I can usually relate to them OR I know someone who is going through the same thing. In the season premiere of HIMYM, we find out that Barney and Robin have expressed their feelings for each other. They're not exclusive yet, but they've been secretly hooking up all summer. Remember: Barney is a narcissistic womanizer who is all about one night stands and Robin is a commitment-phobe who isn't into relationships that much either. When the rest of the gang catches Barney and Robin gettin' it on, they tell them that they need to have "the talk" and clearly figure out what they mean to each other. They beat around the bush and finally agreed to pretend that they are in a a relationship so that everyone else will get off their backs. In the end, Ted says "You do realize they are lying, right?" and Lily says, "No, Ted, they just don't know that they're not lying."

I'm sure most of you have gone through something like this sometime in your life, right? It's not always easy to have "the talk" with the person you've been frequently seeing and you are attracted to them. Why is it not easy? Because sometimes when you have a good thing going on, "the talk" can either make it or break it (not talking about the obviously bad and abusive "relationships" at all...that's a different story). But in the end, we must all take that risk to find out where we stand in a relationship.



But back to the show, it's going to be interesting with the new focus on Barney and Robin. Honestly, it's kinda weird. But I think we should give it time for the story to unfold and see how it works out!

  1. So been there and done that. Although not having "the talk" and just going with the flow doesn't always end well either.

  2. I like to go with the flow. If something disrupts that flow then it wasn't meant to be anyways.

  3. Umm...we need to talk....hehehe..jk!! I'm so the commitment-phobe type...that's prob why I haven't had a long relationship since...well, let's not get into details. Anywho, as a late-comer, and only having watched on and off before, I'm pretty open to the idea of Robin and Barney. So, I'm glad you're givin it a chance too!
