Just like that? You didn't even try the ol' "where this relationship going" talK?

Really, it all depends how old you guys are, but even then some guys never learn how to close the deal. But you could bring it up by saying something like, "my friend wants to set me up with a blind date, but I wasn't sure what we have is exclusive. you ready for something like that or do you still want to date other people???"

Yes. I would.

No need to "move on", you are not committed to him so do what you like. Go out with other men if you wish. Or you could try what Dr.Clean suggested.

OP, it depends on the girl. If we click it could be quick. If we want to test the waters and see where it goes then maybe longer. Usually by the 1 month mark I'd make it official.

WOW...

A whole six dates and he knows all about you, huh? Been seeing him for a month, now... What are you, 90 and looking at another 6 months to live that you're in such a hurry?

You really like this guy?
You think you'd be good together?
But, he's not worth waiting on?

I dated a girl that moved on after 3 months... Because I was "too slow". I didn't move the relationship along fast enough for her. The next guy moved faster. In a month, she was pregnant. After the baby was born, she learned something new about him. He went to prison for beating her up, and she spent 3 weeks in the hospital. He sure did move the relationship along faster than I did, and then he almost killed her. And, when she tried to get back with me, I wasn't available anymore. I was engaged to another girl.

I know another girl that waited and waited on a guy. Even after she got to be his girlfriend, it was another 6 years before he talked about getting married. Today, years later, she'll tell you that it was all very well worth it. She'd do it all over again in a minute without hesitation.

You like the guy? He's worth it? Don't rush it.

Women crack me up with rushing men and the need for titles. I personally dont get it. It's much more rewarding to chill out, sit back and let them come to you. It also normally turns out better in the long run when a woman isn't constantly nagging about "next steps" bs etc.

from my experience anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months. i don't think a month/6 dates is long enough to give up. if he's gone on 6 dates with you he probably wants that but he's going to bring it up at a time when he thinks you'll feel the same.

His actions should be telling you if he is interested in you, and not what artificial label he wants to place on your relationship. The only real "label" that has meaning is "married" since it has civil/legal/contractural connotations.

You will know if he is interested in you based on whether he is initiating contacts and dates, giving you things (flowers, gifts, treats, whatever), making time in his schedule to spend with you, etc, or whether he is ignoring you, making other plans all the time, giving excuses, etc.

One month and six dates later and you still don't know? You would know after the first date or two with me. I move fast and don't jack around.

Needy much? Or just high maintenance?
