Never, EVER assume anything. Just ask. I know people who got MARRIED without have serious discussions about money, kids, family, where they wanted to live... Better to get used to being direct and honest now rather than waiting until you are in some situation that is more difficult to leave.
not necessarily...it is a term of endearment for me. i can call any of my close friends booboo. i don't call my boyfriend "boo" - overrated!
As a male, advising a female.... You might consider your relationship exclusive (a.k.a. you're his girlfriend), but he might not it exclusive. Have dinner with him and say something like, "Hey - I really enjoy the time with each other and I'm feeling like we should clarify our relationship a little. I'm feeling like we're in an exclusive relationship and that we're boyfriend/girlfriend. Does that sound about right?" There. That wasn't so hard. Now you'll know if you are or aren't exclusive. It's like when Hyman Roth was talking to Michael and he said, "I'm going to lie down, maybe take a nap. When I wake up, if the two million is on the table, I'll know I have a partner. If it's not, I'll know I don't."... (its from The Godfather II)
Well, basically how it works is that every girl is the girlfriend of thadeus (and sweet-love-making-partner) until thadeus says otherwise, so if a guy asks thadeus for permission to borrow one of his girlfriends then you know it's real.
there is a thing as non-exclusive relationships when sex is involved and it's not a one-off? maybe some guys like the idea of diving into sloppy seconds
Another good topic to discuss!! What does it take a guy to consider a girl as a friends with benefits??
Is your (maybe) b-friend the poster BBall Scientist? I can see him confusing you with stats everytime you tried to bring up your status.
If that's the case I would have a minimum of 6gf. Hardly what I would call an "exclusive relationship".
Let's Clarifiy something It is about the Time Line: Girl I know/see --> Girl I am interested in --> Girl I am taking out generally .. things start there: It can happen over months. . or over drinks The next steps is where is breaks into the confusing stuff: a. FriEND - could be an ending point with no further progress [alot of women like this if it has no future] b. Friend with benefits - could be an end point with no further progress [alot of men like this if it has no future] c. ONE OF the chicks i am dating/sexing --> Only woman I am dating/sexing [exclusive] --> Wife or d. ONE OF the chicks i am dating/sexing --> a or b that seems to be the dating world in a nutshell [maybe overly simplistic] Rocket River
