How long to wait before a guy I just started seeing makes our relationship official?

[Anonymus2000]

I started dating this guy and we have been on 8 dates. We don't text every day and we see eachother once a week or every two weeks. I think he likes me but I am looking for a serious relationship with someone. I am not sure if this kind of relationship at the beginning has a potential for something serious. I don't know how long should I wait before he makes our relationship official and how can I know that I am his girlfriend? I don't want to drive him away by saying something about it to him cause I really like spending time with him. But I just don't know what he is planning with me.

Did you have a talk about both your intentions? does he want a relationship with you? If your answer to both those questions are yes, then him calling you his girlfriend is irrelevant at this point. Men have multiple ways in which they make ut known you are their girlfriend and it is different depending on the guy we are talking about.

You have been on 8 dates and it has been every single week. Which means you have been dating for over two months now. If he wasn't interested in a relationship, he would have slipped up by now. He would shown signs he just wanted to get in your pants. If he hasn't shown any of this yet, you are worried for nothing.

The time for him to claim you will come. He may not even say it to you but you will know how he sees you one way or another.

He recently started showing that he wants more with me in a sexual way although he is not so much pushy about it and doesn't seem like he only wants sex. We still haven't talk about our relationship and he doesn't mention anything about it

In that case I think it is very important you had that talk

Why you think that

[In_Trance]

If you want to happen you need to do something about it not sit back and wait

What should I say to him? Should I ask him what his intentions are?

[In_Trance]

No you never asked that you'll ruin it.

Are you having sex?

[Anonymus2000]

No, we are not. I want to know first that we are in something serious before I start being more intimate with him
