Well technically relationships begin when you become friends or start dating. The majority don't become committed or mutually exclusive until after things become physical. Usually the female brings up that conversation first.

And like people said, that can be different for everyone.

yep. i dont want to put pressure on her because that can cause her to drift away from you and move on to someone else.

i dated my last girlfriend for almost three months before things went beyond her letting me grope her in a dark movie theater. some women take longer to fully trust a guy than others.

Lordy, lordy, I'm so glad I found this thread. I read rbohm over in the car forum all of the time.
He's right, though. You can scare someone off.

Three days (not the woman for you), three weeks may be a relationship. Three months is either a person who isn't quite sure about you or one who is very discriminating.

I married the three and a half month guy.

Default Could it take months for a relationship to develop?

I'm really bad at this stuff to be honest. I have seen where people get in relationships quickly but others took awhile to develop. Even seeing other people during the time they were getting to know each other and going on dates.

Is it possible you could be talking/going on dates for months before a relationship ends up developing?

People need to stop over-thinking this stuff, just meet someone and let things happen organically, men and women have been coupling up since the dawn of man, this stuff shouldn't be that hard to figure out.

I'll share a story of mine. The woman I am seeing now was my friend since we were little kids. Meet when she was 7 and I was 6. During high school we lost touch and to be honest I did miss her all those years. Then about 9 months ago some random girl shouted my name and ran up to me and hugged me. It was my friend and our other friends reconnected. We tried dating once but she said we were taking things too fast. Now we are trying it out again and things are a lot bette because we taking it one day at a time. I can say relationships take time to develop. That's what we are doing.

To develop, sure...but there should be some sort of a progression going on during that time.
