How do you know you are in a (serious) relationship and not just dating?

If neither you or him have confirmed that you want to take things seriously then you are not in a serious relationship. It is verbal communication. It doesn't just happen unless that's something that you both already wanted. This is why you be careful when you date strangers, and if this is a friend you have known for a long time, why you must find out if you are already compatible. Because if you're not already compatible you going to have problems. You don't want to be in a situationship, but you also don't want to get in the wrong relationship. Verbally communicate this with who you are dating, and ask them this question. You will know when you get an answer from them. If there's no answer there is no guarantee what you have a serious. Sadly most people are not looking for anything serious.

hmm interesting, because usually dating exclusive meaning more serious relationships. But I suppose you are asking if you are heading towards something more serious like marriage, usually you can tell but how much you are involved in his life. If he starts to introduce you to all his friends and family, and bring you to family events, you can tell he is being more serious. If it's the mid of year and he starts to ask you about plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas you know it. if he starts to talk about having a joint financial account you know he is more serious.

it really depends on you guys pace and communication skills. but it's easy to tell if he is willing to be serious or not

Once upon a time "dating" meant a serious relationship.

Damn, this generation is a lost cause.
