I thought I know where we stand, but I turn out being wrong haha. Is one month relatively short, should I test the waters longer?

I think that you should test the waters longer.

I disagree with CJ. It has nothing to do with "being the man!" or "being insecure". Communication is key and you weren't doing anything wrong about communicating your thoughts. They just didn't want a serious relationship. A lot of college aged kids don't so don't think you're doing something wrong. Once you get into the mindset of playing games you'll end up finding that things don't go how you think they will since people aren't mind readers.

So they don't want to hang out anymore because they know what my intent originally was (to start a relationship)?

Just the vibe. Keeping it fun and relaxed. Moving things forward by making moves.

The guy sets the tone.

From what you wrote that's what it seems like. Having sex or kissing doesn't always mean someone wants to commit.

Guys shouldn't be asking where the relationship stands. That's a chick thing to say. It sounds VERY needy and validation seeking coming from a guy.

Next time, have fun with it. Smile, look her dead in the eyes, and say "I want to be exclusive." It'll work.

Where does our relationship stand?
