"The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one."
Joan Baez, 20th/21st century American folk singer.
Because a "relationship" is about much more than the number of people in it.
Look at it this way.
When you walk down the street, through an airport, or while sitting in a movie or a ball park, are you in a "relationship" with the hundreds, maybe thousands of others also there?
Unlike our social media encounters, at least in all those situations, you and all the people are actually, physically together.
Using the loosest definition of the word, I suppose any connection between two or more individuals could be defined as a "relationship", however not in the way Ms. Baez intended.
True relationships require both parties to actually be together rather than simply being together.
