There is no better way to ask this question on a board full of guys even though I know I will get r****ded replies. What does it takes a guy to consider a girl to be his girlfriend? Does he have to ask her to be her girlfriend? My booboo(a poster on here) and I have been discussing about that topic. I think a couple become exclusive if one of them asks each other to make sure there are no misunderstandings and he says a couple becomes exclusive when it is understood without having to talk about it.

well as much as i hate the trite question "are we going steady?" it is a must. (no i dont actually say the word "going steady" ). Of course, guys think its just understood but thats guy talk...younger and inexperienced guy talk ,at that. if you are seeing someone and you want to see eachother exclusively, you should talk about it and come to some type of an agreement.
You have to talk about it. How the hell do you communicate if you don't talk? Oh, we just know.....LOL - there is the beginnings of a relationship doomed to fail. DD
Well, sometimes those with Down's Syndrome say unusually insightful things. I recommend the movie: *The 8th Day* As for your question, definitely better to speak it and get on the same page. I'm kind of old (for this board), but experience recommends a little bit of practicality here. There's enough ways to confuse each other already, so get clear on that basic point.
Jerry: So, are you gonna go out with her? George: I might. Jerry: What about Susan? George: What? I'm not married. I'm not allowed to go out with somebody else? Jerry: Depends. George: Depends on what? Jerry: On many factors. George: Like what? Jerry: Well, how long you've been seeing her. What's your phone call frequency? Are you on a daily? George: No. Semi-daily. Four or five times a week. Jerry: What about Saturday nights? Do you have to ask her out, or is a date implied? George: Implied. Jerry: She got anything in your medicine cabinet? George: There might be some moisturizer. Jerry: Ah hah. Let me ask you this. Is there any tampax in your house? George: (Pause) Yeah. Jerry: Well, I'll tell you what you've got here. George: What? Jerry: You got yourself a girlfriend. George: Ah, no, no. Are you sure? A girlfriend? Jerry: I'm looking at a guy in a semi-daily with tampax in his house and an implied date on Saturday night. I would like to help you out, but... --- To seriously answer though, I think it needs to be discussed openly. Someone has to ask and just make sure you are both on the same page.
I like to worm my way out of these questions by pulling the old "cultural difference" card. If she's a native latin I say that in "America" one dates for a year before taking it to the next level. If she's an american gal I say the my "latin" culture dictates that no relationshop is serious untill I get married. But usually a sit down state of the union talk is suffice. Edit: When I was living in Buenos Aires going out with a girl after 2 dates or having sex made her your girlfriend. Latin women can be so pegajosas. I love thier passion though.
So is the girl his gf if she already met his family and closest friends without having a state of union talk yet?
booboo? When person 1 goes over to person 2's abode unannounced and person 2 is not mad, surprised, and/or naked with person 3
It is usually understood until someone sees the other in compromising position. It has to be stated If it is not. . . .you have no defense for the 'I didn't know' response Rocket River
If you are in love with each other and don't want to have sex with anyone else, then you could call it an exclusive relationship.
LOL, that's because you're not an old fart like me. It's from a TV show in the 70's. Basically means you need to TALK about it. If you don't, bad things can happen later on down the line. If talking about things like this makes you unfomfortable, well.... just have a few drinks... er, uh what I meant to say is that maybe you need to re-evaluate the relationship.
