Phateless Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I'm just curious for the female perspective on when you ladies assume you're an item/couple with someone you're dating (ie; exclusive, committed, not sleeping with anyone else, etc.) I've always gone by the rule that exclusivity doesn't happen until both parties agree on it explicitly. Some people have different takes. Thoughts?
Tyra Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 As a female, I assume that I'm in a relationship when(like you said), the both of us agreed on it. Because one person can't assume it, otherwise one will think that it is official, while the other person is still friends status.
Trialbyfire Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 You can't hold someone to exclusivity, until you've both agreed to it. This doesn't mean lying by omission though. If you're not going to be exclusive, you make it known up front that you're still dating multiple people.
blind_otter Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I've never assumed anything and if I was seeing more than one person I'm upfront about it. But my bestfriend, OTOH, is so naieve about things. She just started seeing someone recently. He admitted, when she asked if he was seeing anyone else, that "it was nothing serious, but there is a girl who would be upset if she heard me say that." And yet my friend went on to do the deed with this guy and claims they are exclusive! Some people b'crazy.
Melissalive33 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I think you should talk about it before you give any relationship a label.
