When your partner asks if they are your first relationship, does that mean they define you two as two people in a relationship?

I was caught off guard, because he was - commitment phobe and then suddenly calls it a relationship. I felt happy though.

If you are partners, you are in a relationship. But if you're in a relationship, how can you not know it? I think you need to practice more effective an direct communication with each other. Have a discussion and define, not only IF you are in a relationship, but what, exactly, that relationship is. You two are in for all kinds of problems unless you start communicating with each other better than this. I wish you luck and happiness!

When he asks if you two is your first relationship? Girl he thinks he’s in a relationship with you but it sounds like you didn’t have a talk about making it official.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

How to make things official, have no idea

[On_cloud_wine]

By you both agreeing that you want to make it official… silly girl

[Cormac995]

It definitely means they're getting attached yes. I'm not sure I'd call it love but he's definitely coming out of his shell some.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

He already told me he loves me

[Cormac995]

Then yea duh lol

[ProbablyClueless]

Yeah! At least I would think so. That makes sense me.


I’m glad things are going so well with him! 😌

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Thank you ☺️

Well there’s many different types of relationships, it doesn’t always mean boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. If they haven’t actually made things official with you then it sounds like they’re playing mind games, would be a waste of time.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

What kinds of relationship?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

What does it mean to make things official?

[Nikki1989]

I don't know. I have never been asked such questions.

[DishLady]

You should playfully ask him.

[RHK36]

Dating a commitment phobe isn't usually a good idea for something long term. Good luck

Commitment phobia starts to fade as men advance towards the ripe age of 40

[jahaims]

You call them a partner but aren't in a relationship?

[WhitneySnow]

Yes. That’s what they mean.

[LightingBugg]

I already know my first relationship. He took my virginity.

[Anonymous]

People already know that I never had a relationship, so they wouldn't ask me that.

[SotiCoto]

That would be the logical assumption, yes.

[AndrésC64]

Yes, they even stated this much in what they said.

[Jennz6]

I’m not really sure

[TallAnon]

Sure does
