So, after experiencing a heartbreaking breakup on april 2013 (after breaking up with my boyfriend of 7 years, whom i live with), and an amazing unexpected romance afterwards that lasted 6-8 months (i wrote a lot about this romance here) and left me, if it was possible, even more heartbroken, i ended 2013 in a very sad way (wondering if it was possible to be heartbroken this bad twice in a year and surviving)

Started 2014 having horrible or pathetic dates, think they could do a sitcom or a really stupid comedy with my awful dates. Being a 30 year old, somewhat attractive, girl, in a big city in where men are crazy or confused or pathetic or....oh well

the thing is, after 5 very horrible months, in where i had dates with unadequate nerds, jerks and plain a**holes, i was ready to stop dating cause the fun i had with my friends narrating my awkward dates wasnt even worth the pain of going through them anymore, until i met this guy.

Wonderful. So nice. Gentleman. Succesful. Damn. We went on 6 dates. I havent fall instantly for him like i did with the last guy i went out it, the passion wasnt mindblowing like with that guy either, but, we really connected and slowly things start to build up. He took me to the movies, to dinners, to the theather, it was all very nice. Slept at his house twice. He slept at mine twice. We ve been dating for 2 weeks but had 6 dates and talk everyday. He likes to cuddle and sleep over (i actually would have preffer him to leave the first time he came to my house, but he wanted to stay), he likes to hug, he calls me/texts me several times everyday, he is very caring and sweet and kiss me hugs me a lot and likes to hold hans the few times we walk on the street (cause he haves a car so he comes pick me up wherever we go, he even agreed to take me home at 3 in the morning the first time we slept together at his place, cause i wanted to sleep in my bed, despite him wanting me to stay at his place)

Now, the thing is, im not used to date, i ve been in relationships for the last 12 years (7 years with one, 5 with the other, and last year i had a very intense 6 month relationship) they were always serious/formals relationships it was clear we were boyfriend/girlfriend from the get go.

But this is different, im in a grey zone now. He is not my boyfriend, but he is not the guy im sleeping with either, cause we talk about our day everyday, make plans, he seems to be much more than a f**k, but still no boyfriend, so my question is: do i have to ask him where we stand? do i have to just let things flow? do i have to assume we are going out? im a bit lost, sometimes i even think im in a relationship but no one asked me about it

Sounds fine to me, what more do you want?

Some sort of ring or something?

Two weeks, six dates and sex mean that things are moving kinda fast. Slow down, take time to get over the last guy before starting a relationship with another one. To answer your question, it looks just fun and sex..

Definitely don't assume anything, but if you've only been seeing each other for 2 weeks then he may feel like it's too soon to call it yet.

However, if he still hasn't asked you in some fashion to be his girlfriend or to take the commitment to the next level soon, I'd bring it up. Maybe if a month passes...

Of course, now that he's getting laid he may not even care about that 'relationship' part anymore, if he ever did. But sounds like, and I hope for you, that that's not the case.
