This is an exploratory, descriptive study of relationship redefinition. Using symbolic interaction theory, this paper examines the contours of post-dating relationships, asking the following questions: 1) how do people orient themselves to one another after a dating reltaionship ends?; and, 2) what is the power dynamic between one's social network and his or her post-dating relationship? Using a snowball sample (N = 30), interview data are analyzed as narratives about the respondents' construction of post-dating relationships. Until recently, research has focused on postdivorce relationships and has characterized these as maladaptive (Weiss 1975; Spanier and Casto 1979; Berman 1985). This study joins recent research which suggests that relationships between former spouses or lovers may satisfy legitimate needs such as friendship, shared history, and extended social networks (Metts, Cupach and Bejlovec 1989; Aydintug 1995).

To understand the interaction of symbolic (symbolic interactionism) is a way of thinking about the mind (mind), self (self) and society (society).By using sociology as a foundation, as well as teaching that when human interact with each other, they share the meaning for a certain period and for a specific action. George Herbert Mead is a figure who is seen as symbolic interaction builders understand this. He taught that the meaning comes as a result of interaction between people, both verbally and nonverbally. Through the actions and responses that occur, we give meaning to the words or actions, and therefore we can also understand an even in certain ways too, because people are assumed to a rise from interrelated conversations between individuals.
