Angel29 Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 I have been seeing a man for 2 months and it is going really well. He said to me yesterday now we are 'going steady'. I know it sounds naive and I am not American and know 'going steady' is an American term. What does 'going steady' mean?
Gaeta Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 Means the glue is sticking. You 2 are 'a thing'. My definition probably doesn't help lol I should let English natives answer 1
glows Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 It’s an old timey or oldschool way of saying you’re a couple. If you have questions about anything ask him. I’m assuming you’re both single and available to date (not in other relationships or married).

poppyfields Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) @Angel29it means exclusively dating.. Referencing your previous thread, has he taken you out on a proper date yet? Jmo but the guy sounds like he talks a good game with very little to no action. I hope I'm wrong about him, good luck. Edited September 6, 2022 by poppyfields

ShyViolet Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 "Going steady" is an old fashioned American term that people used to use in the 1960's, it's not used anymore. My mom's generation used it. But it means exclusively dating.

Brian1223 Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 Without being rude, why didn't you just ask him? If you are at the point of him saying you're "going steady" I would think you would feel comfortable enough asking what he means by that. 3

Is there a language barrier? Is this a college romance where you are from different countries/cultures? Take your time and pace yourself. Only do what you are comfortable with. When in doubt, ask trusted friends and family. 1
