Would you continue dating someone who doesn't want to slap a boyfriend/girlfriend label on the two of you? For context - we've been dating for 6 months, and we see each other once or twice a week (I have kids so it's hard to see him whenever I want). We are exclusive, but he feels we should let things flow naturally and progress slowly instead of throwing labels around and getting serious quick. He views these labels as meaningless terms and that strong relationships are the ones that develop slowly and naturally without timelines. I 100% understand where he's coming from, but just seeing how other people view this situation and if you agree.

you don’t have to put labels on your relationship but maybe you should have a converstion about what u are. but i would like to have labels therefore there wouldn’t be excuses for cheating etc.
If we are exclusive, then seeing someone else would be considered cheating. We have an agreement only to see each other. We have had a few conversations about this, all initiated by me. He's just not comfortable with it (right now), as he's had some pretty traumatic things involving relationships happen in the past.
then maybe trauma is causing that he and ig u don’t want to put lbels on your relationship. if having no label is okay for u both then it’s cool:) as long as you’re happy and you both agree with this
I Believe It's Worth The All of The Effort To Go Slow. Yes, For Awhile. xxoo
Do you believe that letting things organically grow rather than forcing things is what establishes a strong relationship? I see so many people, young and old, slapping labels on their relationship while only knowing this person for just a few months. I know it can go either way, but just because they are your boyfriend/girlfriend doesn't mean they will be honest and loyal to you.
Just a Chance you Take. I always Say GO SLOW. xxoo
