The atmosphere of social media seems very show off and braggy most profiles, You tube channels are comprised of people posting about a job promotion, good grades, travelling, photos of their babies or their partners, PDA or of themselves, their looks, clothing, physic, wealth, possessions, academic accomplishments etc... and there are even posts where they write personal intimate praises publicly while it's meant for a select few of the people in their lives for likes...

No wonder so many social media users are depressed or end up leaving social media, you may just end up comparing your failures to the bragging, show off posts of others if you're on there. I kind of miss when social media wasn't a thing and we were all curious about one each others lives because most of us just lived private lives, nowadays most people put everything out there on social media you almost feel as though you know everything about that person even when you have never even met them in person.

We are dating 3 months, we agreed to exclusively date 1 month into seeing each other.
Around 2 months we became sexual. He's very affectionate in private. He's shy and doesn't do PDA much, but will kiss/hug/hold hands during outdoor walks/hikes.

Before the first date we both said what we want and they align pretty well: marriage, kids and committed long term. This has not changed for either.

We go on dates: morning hikes, drinks at bar, afternoon dog walks etc.
He has no family so I have not met anyone, mine is very traditional (so I can't tell them about him yet), he has casually met some of my friends. He usually comes to me and we are both on tight schedules so honestly haven't felt like sharing him with other people- so we haven't really had a double dates or hanging out with friends.

I've been to his place, mostly he comes to me, picks me up and drives me to date locations, he is good at planning thoughtful dates. He pays for all the dates, and he's a little traditional.

When I brought up "where are we going?" he said he enjoys his time with me and wants to continue seeing me, and get to know me, but didn't want labels yet, I am falling for him and was a bit hurt but given we are still relatively new it seemed fair.

To me everything we do feels like a "relationship" but we are just "exclusively dating".
What are we?
