If you can make out with someone else, you’re not dating. If you can’t, you are
Sounds a lot like you are dating
I think 3 months is more than reasonable, what exactly does he say when you guys discuss it?
Hmmmmmm I can see both sides here. 6 months is too long to expect exclusivity without a title. You need to keep dating (maybe not sex but dating) bc he may just not be that into you, but you also don’t have to break it off. Take it back a notch and make it more casual.
You updating your Facebook status here? Listen, if you’re happy together and exclusive admit it. If it’s not exclusive admit that and find out why not (assuming you want it exclusive). Time isn’t a factor, only commitment from the prties
Chief
What did he say exactly? Is he seeing other people perhaps and wanting to see how it goes with them?
Regardless 3 months is reasonable (ie - assuming you’ve seen them 1-2 times a week every month). Sounds like he’s just not that into you. Talk to him
Pro
I feel like talking to someone who isn’t very into OP will not make him more into OP. If OP can stay happy and slightly pull back to shake up the rhythm, things may change a bit, since the fact is OP is the one posting about what’s going on, not the guy. The guy doesn’t think OP is going anywhere. Just my 2 cents.
Pro
What? That guy has commitment issues. You aren’t asking him to propose at 3 months, just make a f’ing decision on whether you deserve to be part of his life for now.
3-6 months? That seems long. My current gf and I agreed to date each other exclusively after our 3rd date and I asked her to be my gf a month later.
Completely agree. After 2 dates my current boyfriend and I cancelled any dates we had planned with others. 3 weeks in we made it official (we’d seen each other about 4x each week 😅)
He’s not into you. Drop him today. In my experience, serious men want to be official within a few weeks and 6 months in we are discussing engagement
Enthusiast
I knew I wanted to marry my husband after the first date and told him so like a couple of weeks in (I was 21) I think it’s fairly normal if you’re both interested to speak about this fairly quickly tbh. But everyone’s different! I can’t keep my feelings to myself about anything.
Pro
I think 6 month- 1 year is a good timeline to date someone platonically (I’ve seen this work out well, people getting married after waiting to become intimate). Obviously depending on how much you want this guy, but given the one proposing is usually men, there is benefit to this strategy.
Pro
Yeah the guy’s definitely not jumping into this. This also means he is unlikely to jump into things with other people though, not a bad thing necessarily.

6 months?! Wild. 3 is plenty time. Definitely discuss and if you both can’t align, might be better to cut your losses now and dip.
Enthusiast
I’m in the 2-3 month camp, but everyone’s different. It depends how much you do together in the avg week, how well you knew each other before you started dating, and your long-term goals. Some people need much longer than 3 months, and if they’re only here to casually date, you’ll be waiting forever unless something changes in them

Define official
Pro
I think OP means BF/GF exclusively
Pro
How much time did/do you guys spend together?
Rising Star
Enough time to 69
Pro
By official, do you mean "intimate", exclusive, or formally putting labels on it?
Most people should have a pretty solid idea after 3 months. I'd definitely want to know why the delay?
Rising Star
Can’t advice…never been in one👀
