Do you have to ask someone to be your boyfriend/girlfriend, or is it just mutually understood

Once you've been with someone for some time, are you supposed to ask them if they'd like to be your boyfriend/girlfriend, or is it just supposed to happen on it's own?

I think that having a conversation about being mutually exclusive is something that needs to happen and not just be assumed. I've never liked when someone has just assumed I'm their girlfriend instead of talking to me about what I want from a relationship.

We had the exclusive discussion because I needed to know where we stood. I never assume because sometimes that backfires and I'd rather just be clear and communicate things up front. I think that's a good practice for a lot of things in life.

I also think there needs to be some sort of conversation. Once a guy just assumed I was his girlfriend when I didn't want to be, which obviously lead to some problems.

Yeah, I'm sure that could be pretty akward. My girlfriend told me that she went on one date with a guy a few years ago, and by the end of the date he was introducing her to people as his girlfriend . . . pretty strange lol.

I think there should be a conversation that lays things out so you are both clear on where you both stand. That way nothing can be confused and no feelings hurt by you both not being on the same page.

Sure it might feel like you should be able to just assume some things that are "obvious" to you... but it doesn't hurt to be sure to avoid some possible heartache.

I need conformation so I know exactly where I stand with the person.

NEVER assume! One of the party could be playing games or have no real intention of being with the other.

i've found that assuming things is always a bad idea.
