I asked if he considered me to be his girlfriend, and that's when the trouble started.

Question - (12 March 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 13 March 2007)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I've been dating a guy for a month and a half that I really like. We have a lot in common, we see each other about twice a week, and we talk almost every day. We had never discussed the relationship status, until yesterday. I asked if he considered me to be his girlfriend, and that's when the trouble started. He hesitated, before saying that he wasn't sure and because of his previous relationship breakup that he had basically closed himself off emotionally. He made it seem like it might happen eventually, but he didn't want to rule out dating other people. I'm so hurt I can barely stand it. Should I even give this guy a chance, or should I forget about him?

It's early days yet and is he has been hurt in the past he will be very wary. Take things slowly and don't push, but if he still has these views in a couple of months time then sit him down and tell him you are not happy and you want a relationship. If he does start dating around when you want a bloke to yourself then tell him you are not putting up with that and if that doesnt work then move on.

Take care

Wow, I know that must've hurt, I'm sorry...you know it's only been 6 weeks, give it some time. I would suggest *Don't give up yet, and don't rush him* into acknowledging your status. Also are you in a sexual relationship? If you are, I strongly encourage you to take precautions against STDs, preg., etc. Make sure you are both on the same page with regards to an exclusive sexual relationship. Keep in mind, if he is considering dating others, he's not seriously into you (YET!!)...and you need to watch out for your heart and your health. Take care xox
