Thank you Sir. I have been wondering that for at least a few years!

If you two are that close, just ask her or talk about it.

I have known people who have gotten engaged after dating just a few weeks, and had great marriages that lasted!

If you two have so much in common, and enjoy each other's company that much, just open up and discuss what you want in the future.

OP, what is the problem with saying, "I'd like for us to be exclusive." It's either that or keep assuming you are and continue to do what the word "assume" says: make an ass out of u and me - By the way, that's pronounced "oo", not "you". You see, it's not a word despite what some nincompoops would have you think.

Just bring it up to her, if you see her and talk to her all the time it shouldn't be that hard to bring it up. Odds are she already knows you two are exclusive but you don't want to assume something like that.

Or...you could put it on Facebook and see what she says. Lol. I think that idea is pretty funny

You really just have to talk to her. Even if you think there is some action that will SHOW her you want to be in a relationship, she might not catch on. I'm usually pretty cautious about assuming how a guy feels about the 'status' of our relationship.

My bf and I were sort of forced into the talk when his friends kept asking and we were going to some functions together (wedding, baby shower) and we kind of wanted to know how to introduce each other to our respective friends and family. Just do it. It's awkward for maybe 5 seconds then you can move on and be happy!

I feel kind of lame asking about this on a site, but it is tough to ask people I know about this sort of thing. But I have not been a relationship that has lasted more than a couple months, and those are not really relationships. For one thing I am usually the type of person who goes for the score as soon as possible, and never thought it was worth it to pursue any further after I got mine. We pretty much mutually break it off and both go home happy.

But this is so different in many ways, I am taking it very slow and doing everything right thus far. I just don't want to miss out on a great opportunity with an awesome girl.
First off, have you "scored" yet? The reason I ask is because you said so yourself, that after that, you always move on..I think it's too early for you to expect some kind of commitment in this young relationship....I think you should wait awhile and just continue being friends,...what's wrong with that?? What opportunity with this awesome girl do you feel you might miss out on???, I don't understand.

on a serious note...I don't know how it works. My last relationship, I just called him my boyfriend one day and he got super excited to hear that label, but really, I just assumed he was. I guess when it really feels like a relationship, you call it one.
So you drive around and when you spot a guy you just say "boyfriend, get in the car"?
