callme2855 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThank you for all you replies. =-)
My girlfriend and I haven't been together that long, and we do not live with each other, but I just wanted to see if we matched other people's definition of what "mature" was, it was an argument we needed to settle. We are a silly couple.
Sorry. Thanks again. =-)

To me a mature relationship means that they are having sex, they are exclusive, they have mutual respect and they are commited to be exclusive and have an eye to the future..they have some common goals and a plan to spend their lives together.

 It could mean they've been together a long time, but not necessarily. I'd say it means that they're a) dating exclusively, b) have talked about the future and c) have at least tentative plans to spend it together.
