beach2468 Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 So I've been seeing a guy now for about 6 weeks. Though we both have very busy schedules, we manage to see each other every 2-3 days. I'm not quite too sure how he feels about me but I know that I would be upset if he was seeing other people and I know that I don't want to see others. However, right now it scares me to have that title of "boyfriend, girlfriend". At the same time, I'm scared to say anything to him regarding if we are exclusive and what he wants in the future. I guess I'm scared of being rejected as well as being used in a FWB relationship. So I guess my question is, how soon is too soon to bring up the "exclusive" talk? Should it be the guy that brings it up? As a woman, how should I bring it up without sounding too needy or chasing him away? Thanks!
Winfield Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 If you're meeting each other more than once a week at this stage (6 weeks), this is already a good sign, IMO. Why not let things develop just as they are? If you feel the need to bring the subject up, by all means, bring it up...but to me it doesn't look as though you've anything to worry about at present... By the way, why are you scared of the "boyfriend / girlfriend" tag? By being exclusive, this is what you would be (would it not)? You want the commitment, but you don't want the name? It's just a name after all...and it's hardly "husband / wife", lol! Good luck!
backspn Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Wow, you and I seem to be in the same situation. We had talked about the exclusive part about 6 weeks in and now we are slowing down the relationship. We have been dating for 2 months now. Dont rush into it. Enjoy your time with him and it will fall into place. During every relationship it is normal to have doubts in the early stages. Only time will tell if me and my SO will succeed. Hope you guys do too!
