'boyfriend' calls me his girlfriend/his girl but never officially asked me?

Have you ever objected to him doing that? He might just think you and he just skipped that conversation and that it doesn't really need to happen anymore. It might just be an understood thing in his mind, at this point. That's something about men's brains that women don't always seem to totally understand. Your action or lack of action is going to dictate whether or not I think you're okay with something.

If I call a woman my girlfriend, she hears me call her my girlfriend, and she never actually objects and just carries on like normal, I'm going to assume that she's down and that she considers herself my girlfriend. Because in my mind, she knows that's how I think about her and she never set the record straight.

That's how most men are going to think. ESPECIALLY if I present her to other people like she's my girlfriend and she goes along with it.

You just called him, ‘boyfriend’ so apparently yo both skipped a minor formality. I mean, I am sure it happens that there occurs some formal request. However, I don’t think most boyfriend/girlfriend couple ever make a formal request as much as it just happening to be that you both call one another as such.

If he is your boyfriend, wouldn’t that just make you his girlfriend by default?

Me and my guy never formally said “do you want to be my girlfriend?”

We started dating, it kept going and was assumed.

Sounds like he want you exclusivity with you while he plays around.

[princessanon47]

about that I know for sure that he isn't doing that, we have been exclusive for 8 months

So what's your question

[princessanon47]

sorry Im new to this, so I posted the title before adding details... my question is if this is something normal that guys do by assuming instead of officially asking? Im also nervous to ask him to clarify and need some advice on how to go about that? thank you!

Ask him the way you would want him to ask you
