Can I start calling him "boyfriend"? How do I bring it up?

Before the beginning of the summer, I started going out with a guy who had been my friend for a few months. Our chemistry was unbelievable and we both got along incredibly well.
We spent every night (and most of the day) together for 2 weeks and he helped me move to my new apartment.

We both knew that we wouldn't see each other during the summer because I am going to Europe for 3 months. We talked about it and we both agreed that we could sleep with other people if we wanted to during that time, but he constatly referred to us as "being together" or being "a couple".

We've been talking to each other every day and we both shared that we are starting to fall in love with each other. He told his family about me and showed them pictures. He calls me "babe" and "darling" and always talks about what a wonderful time we will have once I get back. Yesterday he made a joke about me getting "another boyfriend" (which sort of implied that he is my boyfriend)

It's been almost two months now since we started seeing each other and I am wondering if I can start calling him my boyfriend. And if so, how do I ask him that? I've been very blunt about the fact that I like him a lot and I want to be exclusive after the summer and he seemed to share the same feelings.

I think the best way to approach its situation would be to ask him what you two are. Then it will save the awkwardness if you just call him boyfriend when he doesn't see it that way. All the signs do point to it looking like you're boyfriend and girlfriend but I say just ask him to be sure :) no harm in asking!

There are many different routes. You could say that you really need a bf. you could that you need your bf to pass you your soda. Could even take a humors approach in asking for confirmation.
