"So...What Are We?"

Whether you are dating someone new or you've been seeing someone for a couple of months, sometimes it can be awkward to make things "official." When you're in high school, it's easy to say "will you go out with me," but as you get older, things get more complicated. "Going out" means actually GOING OUT, like on a date. Asking, "Will you be my girlfriend?" sounds cheesy and a negative response can make the situation really weird. So what do you do?

Usually when dating someone casually, you get to know them a little bit. You should get a feel on how they feel about relationships and even marriage. If you're dating someone who tells you that they just got out of a relationship and aren't looking for anything serious, you should know that making it "official" is a waste of time. If you really like that person, let them bring it up.

The best way to bring up the "official" conversation is somewhere that is relaxed like a restaurant. You can casually say, "so I really like you, and I want you to know that I'm not seeing anyone else." The response you get should solidify your relationship one way or the other.


I wouldn't advise having the "official" conversation at home, simply because some women can feel like it's a way to get them in to bed, and some men feel that it guarantees them a ticket in to bed. Keep it light, airy, and honest.
