After some deep meditation, and a heavy deadlift session I began to contemplate this interesting question. We all should be striving, or have plates when single right? But who is really plating who?

Let's throw out a use case:

Say a high-value man (me for example) meets a girl and begins doing fun shit with her. Outdoors adventures, events, all night sexy time etc. once or twice a week. With minimal, logistical texting - she does the same. Probably her following the lead, and me setting a good example. It's assumed we're both seeing other people, but it's never overtly communicated. I'm masculine, she's feminine and both busy with work and other things. Neither pushes for a relationship, both just having fun with each other. Am I her number one options? No. Is she mine? No.

I can't see it any other way then we've plated each other, therefore I am plated. Thoughts?
