Search Results: exclusively dating

It has been 8 months of dating him, and he has not yet come clear about what is the status. We talked about it once around 2 months ago, but he never gave me an answer. He's not sure if he wants a relationship at this stage in life, but he's really confused because I'm different, and we found something meaningful. After the conversation, it actually made him closer to me. He had been putting effort, and contributing a lot into my life. We are basically together. We started 8 months ago, but we became officially exclusive in May. Things are getting serious, and the feeling is there with a deep connection, but he's not officially making this a relationship. I am starting to get anxious, and I want to be with him officially. It just really upsetting if that this point, he don't want this meaningful connection to even truly start officially.

It's getting really frustrating, because we spend a lot time together, but he didn't talk about it. It also seems like he doesn't want to talk about it. Besides all this, everything is great. He even told his parents about me, and he updates them all the time about what we do together. His friends also knows about me. I personally don't think this is a big deal, but he has no intention for me to anyone he knows if we are not official. It's been too long, and I just need to know what's the status. He constantly tell me things like, " you're the most genuine person I ever know, you will be a good wife,..."

I already asked him once, and I truly don't want to ask again. If I do ask, how should I say it so he doesn't not feel like I'm pushing him in the corner?
