Random Fic Thought/Question

doc_3So I was reading some fics the other day, and this thought occurred to me:
There are certain things that can totally turn me off about a story, even if it's something I have really liked right up until that point. For me, if at any point the characters feel the need to clarify their relationship, perhaps by saying, "So are we dating now?" or "Does this make you my girlfriend?", then I am out.
I just totally lose interest in a story at that point. This holds true for any fandom I read fics in.
Do other people have this trigger, (without being specific about stories or authors - this isn't to bash anyone's writing), or am I the only one?
