Seriously? This is the problem with dating. People are so impatient and if they don't get exactly what they want as soon as they want it then they give up and move along. First of all, 6 dates are not that many to decide you want to be someone's boyfriend or girlfriend. 6 dates is nothing...that's what? Maybe a few weeks of dating? If you haven't had the exclusive talk, then feel free to go on other dates, but to give up on someone you like because they haven't had the talk by only 6 dates. Geez. Second of all, people aren't mind readers. If you want to be official with this guy and you're so impatient you can't wait to see what happens naturally, then at least talk to him and communicate what your expectations are.
I've been seeing this guy for a month now...like six dates. Just curious, usually how Long does it take for a man to ask a woman to be his girlfriend? I'm starting to get impatient and look elsewhere but I really like this guy and think we'd be good together. Is he not as interested as he seems? And no we haven't slept together lol.
Until you both have the talk about being in an official relationship (and I'm old fashioned, so I do wait for the guy to broach the subject), why be impatient? Continue to date him, and get to know him, but leave yourself open to meeting someone else as well...it doesn't mean you have to go "looking" elsewhere, but just leave yourself open to it. Nothing wrong with that. And, it might make you feel less stressed out about where it's going with this guy.
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.
I agree with this.
What use is a title/label, if the guy is screwing around on you or treating you badly?
His actions matter more, plus your gut instincts.
People will have their own timeframe for when they feel comfortable being exclusive.
I've been used to getting exclusive usually within 4-8 weeks so I am comfortable moving fast early on.
But I dated a guy that at 4 months was not ready (and we'd known each other for years) and knew another guy that said it took him 6 months to one year to decide.
And its not so much about titles as it is about knowing whether they are keeping options open or not. No one wants to invest a lot of time with someone and possibly be sleeping with someone only to find out they still are talking to or dating others.

Well if he is smart, he will wait for you to basically drop the bomb that you want a relationship. I never have asked a girl to be exclusive until she basically told me so. Drop the hints. If he wants a relationship with you he will ask. Although to be honest, a lot of guys (if they are good with women) won't go into exlcusive territory until they know the sex is good.....

It depends on the girl and how well the dates well. If it went well, you want to get exclusive before she goes off the market. If not, then you might keep it more casual. That's what women do as well. Everyone has multiple options these days, don't make the mistake of thinking you are the "one and only." If you try to force the relationship, you will scare him off faster than a herd of meerkats.
ive been seeing a guy for 7 months, we live together even work together but still arent in a relationship. everyone knows were together he even speaks of me to other people as his girlfriend but dosnt call us boyfriend and girlfriend. "im his girl but were not official" is really whats said more often unless a guy is hitting on me then im his girlfriend. he talks about the future about when we get married or says how are kids would be good looking but still no title whats up with that?
