scobro Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 How long did you date your sig. other before you introduced them as your boyfriend/girlfriend.Do you think there should be a certain time frame or just go by feelings.
catgirl1927 Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Goes by feelings. My BF actually asked me before he did it, he said, is it ok if I introduce you as my girlfriend? It was very sweet and romantic.
Curmudgeon Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Two weeks. Then I introduced her as my fiancee. Six weeks later I introduced her as my wife. Thankfully, we'd been friends for five years first.
shell1162 Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 i personally think its all down to how u feel about someone. ur the only person who can answer that as ur the one who knows ur feelings.
Author scobro Posted March 7, 2006 Author Posted March 7, 2006 Does this mean you're dating someone scobro? Yes for about the last 7 weeks but on a more serious level the last few weeks more than casual dating,we have seen each other every night, talk on the phone during the day etc etc and we are intimate, but I just never really have asked or assumed the whole boyfriend girlfriend thing it seems so kids stuff but it's weird because I have to introduce her to people, so if I say my "friend' it might make her feel uneasy, but if I say girlfriend I don't want her thinking "oh i wasn't expecting that" and then everything back fires on me. I doubt she would start arguing with me but it still makes me wonder how to handle it.:rolleyes:I think too much
Walk Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Maybe you could smooth over the akwardness of the situation with some light humor. Refer to her as your partner in crime, or your goddess of sex. Something she hopefully won't be insulted by. I completely stayed away from labeling the guy I was dating for quite a while. I didn't like the bf/gf label either. Life partner seemed a bit too hippy-ish, and "guy I'm sleeping with" seemed a bit too .. uh.. casual. haha:D I stuck with "Joe meet John" No labels. "Sally this is Jane." They'll figure out your attached quick enough.
orpheus Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 BF/GF sounds good for 18-year olds. I find that simply friend is nice or even "the woman I am seeing" works. Better yet, just use her first name.
brightskies Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 When you mutually agree to an exclusive relationship.
Mz. Pixie Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Sco- I introduced my husband to people as my friend until we were engaged, then he became my fiance'.
Jools Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 I have a similar thing on my mind. I've started seeing someone recently, only a couple of weeks but she has asked/ordered me not to let anyone know. Its not like i was going to send out a memo or tell everyone i met but it would be nice if a mate asked me if i was seeing her, to be able to say yes. She says she just wants privacy to start with and i appreciate that but how long should i leave it till i should be allowed to tell my mates? I mean, i would like to be able to treat her like my g/f if we went out into town and not have to hold back in case someone saw us and realised we were seeing each other?
