How and when do you make the move from dating into a relationship?

[Anonymous]

I am really new at in the dating world... I have had 3 girlfriends but never dated, all my previous relationships have started as friendships.

Now I have been out for quite a few dates with a girl and I feel quite confident she really likes me. We both were looking for a serious relationship.

But how and when do we take the step into a relationship? It has gone a long time since I got into my last relationship so I don't even remember how that worked out.

We haven't had sex or kissed yet, but I have never done those things before being in a relationship before either.

i don't think there is a set time limit. i'd honestly just talk to her and ask where she sees things going and if she wants a relationship with you. nothing too complicated

But how do I know when it is a good time to talk about that?

[rosemilk]

maybe after a date?

i guess two months. time to ask to be exclusive each only with the other. not outside of yourself couple.

Talk to her. Tell her you really like her. Find out if she feels the same way. Then you both agree to make it official.
