Are we in a Relationship?

[cereal_fan]

Hi everyone. I'm dating a guy for 3 months. He's wonderful, everything I ever wanted in a guy. Things with him are peaceful, calm, serene and full of stability. We see each other once or twice a week, as we both take our school very seriously. Sex is not the focus of our relationship. We focus on going slow, having a good solid friendship first, kissing, hugging and cuddling as well. I also know that a good marriage has a very solid friendship as the basis, even as Best friends. I should mention I am a virgin. He is 23, I am 22.

 

I want to know if we are in a relationship so I can stop looking for other guys (he doesn't know this). Right now I keep my options open but if we are, I don't mind to drop the other guys I am seeing. He makes me want to be a loyal girl just for him anyway.

 

Now the thing is, it seems like we are in a relationship. But I am usually a very shy girl and I wish not to ask him directly, "Are we in a relationship"? I feel like it might scare him off just asking him. So please respect my decision on this. Are the signs I have listed below and above signify that we are in a relationship? Can you guys tell me your opinion? What do you guys think?

 

 

My other concern is this: he sends me one or two sexual texts but I'm also afraid of going too slow that I might send him away? Is that possible?

-we text a lot. Good morning and goodnight texts, xo's, a lot of affection between us.

-I asked him can we go slow. He said " i really like you a lot so going slow or fast, I wouldn't mind". He then mentioned how we can go slow for me.

-we talk of marriage and kids a lot. It's mostly him, telling me our kids would look very cute lol.

-every weekend if we don't see each other, he always reassures me of his whereabouts, even if i never ask. I am not much of a jealous person. He tells me he is going out with his friends but says "Don't worry, I don't drink anymore and I don't hook up with girls".

-he always focuses on my needs, even when I mentioned we should go slow

-calls me a lot of pet names and even "love". Example - "hey love" lol

-he always asks me what we should do. And I have to be the one that chooses the places we go. I'm not a fussy person, sometimes I like to stay home and cuddle, watch a movie or sometimes we both make a snack in the kitchen talking about life.

-he likes my fb statuses a lot

-likes all my photos too lol

 

Please help guys? Thank you

If you are kissing, hugging, cuddling, etc. You are more than just friends.

A relationship. But it's not official or exclusive until you have the talk.

Thank you everyone. ^_^ I think the next time I see him, I will talk about it a pressure-free way.
