Confusing Realtionship-thing?


Question Posted Monday August 2 2010, 6:37 pm

I'm dating a 25 year old man, I'm a 20 year old woman. We are both very similar in many ways, more importantly though, we've both had bad experiences being in real relationships. We're completely exclusive, but neither of us has admitted or even hinted towards boyfriend-girlfriend status, or anything remotely close.

I stay at his house every night. I spend my days off with him. We do all the couple things, dates, dinners, cuddling, sex. Everything. We have every aspect of a real relationship without all the problems I guess. I don't really even know what's going on, or what to think of any of it.

I want to approach the subject of "us" without actually having to bring it up to him, I almost want to find a way to get HIM to unkowingly start the conversation himself. Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about doing that? Or any ideas/input/insight on this "relationship"? I'm at a loss for what to do anymore.

Maybe introduce him to your friends or ask to meet his friends and he may introduce you to them as his girlfriend.
If your parents know about him just say "my mum and dad asked if we were boyfriend and girlfriend and I didnt know what to say...are we?"

I think you are, if you do all the things that couples then it seems that way. Maybe hes just scared to bring it up or ask you properly.

I hope this helps x

You're dating. You're in a relationship. Both of you are avoiding calling yourselves or each other 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend,' but that's what's going on. There may even be a sort of magic in not naming it - like it'll go away if you look at it too closely. But it won't, or at least it won't any quicker than it might anyway. Go ahead and call a spade a spade; say "hey, I noticed that we seem to be going out. You wanna make it official? Be exclusive and all that? or do you wanna see other people?"

It might be hard, but you'll have to say some variation of this sooner or later. Get it over with and I think you'll be glad.
