Let The Relationship Begin!

Who Makes it Official?

Remember in elementary school or the first year of middle school when a boy liked a girl he slipped her a note that said: Will you be my girlfriend? circle yes or no. Those were the good old days when simple things were indeed simple. I was wondering how this works in 2008.

Women in general are always more willing and ready to commit than men. Most of us seem to have a sense of urgency when it comes to relationships. There is nothing wrong with wanting to know if the guy you're interested in- is on the same page as you. In the beginning its important to discuss where each of you are in life to see if a serious long term relationship is even an option. You shouldn't start anything assuming you both want the same things.

After a couple months of dating and discussing dating expectations, you find that you and this guy have great potential to develop a wonderful long lasting relationship. He consistently compliments you, smiles at you, doesn't mind being a perfect gentlemen (especially in public). He enjoys your company and has mentioned he would like you to meet his family. The conversation at this point says that you're a couple however he hasn't said the actual words or slipped you a note so........ it's up to you. Make it official by telling him how you feel and that you know that he feels the same- and because you both feel the same, he is now your boyfriend:).

But, is it only up to the girl to move the relationship along? Perhaps the guy is just looking at you in a certain light but he is not ready to take that committed step. So, I guess my question would be, what if you two feel the same way but neither one of you are ready yet?

This is why communication is so important. Continuously communicating about feelings and expectations will not leave room for misunderstandings. If you both feel the same way then there aren't any issues. Because each relationship is different people are going to do what works for them.
