You've gone out several times..... you text and talk on the phone a few times a day..............you enjoy each others company and are physicaly attracted to one another but are waiting to be intimate( both parties agree to wait) all signs pointing toward a relationship but how do you know when your a couple? Do you say " hey Im diigin you and your diggin me, lets be a couple" cheesy I know but Im sure you know where Im headed w/ that..............................aahhhhh...........

I read the book "He's Just Not that Into You" and it said you are not a girlfriend until he introduces you as "The girlfriend" or calls you his girlfriend. Never assume

you could just say sometime that "I am really into you, and would like to take this to an exclusive level. I only want to get to know you right now and I am going to put on hold dating anyone else till i see where this goes...how do you feel about that?"

Or you could sleep with him...that usually seals the deal for me lol

I'd say a minimum requirement for being a couple is to actually discuss what it means to be a couple. Oh - with each other, not with the fishies.

sit down and have a talk... it may be cheesey, but its better to see what you both want. if you wait to be introduced as the boyfriend/girlfriend, it may not be for a while and that person may believe you are dating before you think you are, have the talk.. ask her if she wants to be "your girl"....
I would rather be safe than sorry.

I'm for having the chessy conersation. Good relationship are full of good cheese, it makes them fun! But really all you have to do is just ask "hey, I've been thinking....What would call our relationship?" and the wheel of cheese goes rolling! If shes weirded out by something as simple as that and you feel the way you do, maybe somethings a little off? Good luck

You have the conversation in which you both decide to be exclusive and see where it goes. Nothing more. No I love you stuff, or you're the one forever or any of that crap. That comes later.

One way you can tell is by counting how many of you there are. If it's more than one and less than three, you would be either a pair, duo, duet, brace, or a couple. To tell whether they have started thinking of yourselves as having couple status, you can ask them straight up whether they are aware of the unbreakable bond yet, or are still thinking they could wander away as if free to do so. A look of terror would mean they had not yet realized the exclusivity clause had been invoked. If they get smarmy and reach for your hand, it means they already surrendered to the fact of your union.

Wait four months or so to become intimate...most meetings become fast and furious when the attraction is there ...

We as adults need a bit of self control ....we don't want to give out all the goodies then everything comes to a screeching halt because there is nothing left to look forward to..

besides..."What do you want to do? ...I don't know..what do YOU want to do?.....I dont know...what..."

The name of the game is to forge a relationship and it's not going to happen when you jump in bed on the third date...

My last boyfriend was so cute about it, he simply held my hand and asked if I'd be his girlfriend! Too bad his cuteness didn't last!

The only way to know the answer to that question is to ask.

Of course you don't start with "We need to talk." But you do need to ask about how he sees you. Sounds like you're already emotionally involved and in all fairness to yourself you need to clarify if those feelings will be returned.

I would suggest that you ask those questions soon to prevent a misunderstanding.

If youve been asked out and you said yes, you are a couple. Or if youve asked her out and she said yes then you are a couple. Asked out by asking will u be my ____? Its real real official when yall go public with it. Thats my answer.

Yes, I agree that you need to have the "what's our status now? Are we exclusive?" talk before you can know for sure.

I once dated this girl, and I never actually called her my gf, but then after she dumped me, I called her my ex and vice versa. So she was never my girlfriend, but she is however my ex-girlfriend. I don't quite have these rules figured out either.

If you have to ask, it ain't happening.

First you have intimacy. That is sex and seeing each other peeing and all that stuff. Second, you spend more than two to three times a week together. Then you have asked, not assumed to be exclusive. Then you're a couple.

So is this the decision of the man's.

Ahhhhh I get it, he get to say when you are his girlfriend, and then you get to deceide if you can be bothered to be or not.

No .... I think I am with the cheesy talk together.

If the relationship is new and one of the parties wants to confirm it early on...a discussion about it will usually be brought up...if the relationship is long term...you're looking for a place together, you have things at his place, you spend 4-5 days a week at his place...safe to say you're a couple.
