Talking vs dating vs in a relationship (labels)?

Anonymous

I’ve (25 f) been talking to this guy (24m) exclusively for 2 months. We see each other 2-3 times a week and are either talking on the phone or texting all day. We’ve both talked about how we feel towards each other and I know he really likes me & vice versa.

We’ve talked about how both of us date to find our spouse & aren’t really into casual dating. That being said, we’ve now been talking for 2 months and he still hasn’t asked me to be his girlfriend. We are at the point where nothing is going to change with labels because we already are essentially in a relationship we just don’t have labels.

What is a normal amount of time to be in the “talking” stage before they ask you to be their boyfriend/girlfriend? I have only ever dated one guy who jumped right into it, so I’m very out of my element here. Has anyone been in a similar situation? What’d you do?
