Thread: how to ask where the relationship is heading

I disagree with the other posters. If you've been seeing each other regularly for 6 weeks, genuinely enjoy each others company and see yourselves taking things further, then the time is right. There shouldn't really be a "time stamp," more it should be relative to the feelings you have for one another. Not to mention, if you are serious enough about each other that you are having sex, then it may be time to start thinking about if you want to become exclusive or at least get that discussion out of the way so you know for your own sexual health reasons.

It's not like you have to ask the guy if he will marry you and father your children in the next year. You just need to get an idea of where you both see yourselves, either with each other exclusively or not. That will help clear up any foreseeable problems with the sexual relationship too. It would be good for you to know if he is interested in dating (and potentially sleeping with) other women so that you can properly protect yourself.

Ask yourself, is he acting almost like he's your boyfriend? like, always eager to see you and hear from you? Does he always make time for you or at least make an obvious effort to make time for you? If yes, then I think he's giving you the signals that he's into you and it isn't out of the question to see if he wants to take it to the next level. If no, then he's probably not ready for anything exclusive yet.

You should be casual about.. getting super serious may scare him off. bring it up to him that you really like his company... maybe hint around to see if he is dating anyone else... mention to him that he's the only guy you're seeing and you really like him. Ask him if he sees you two as being something exclusive or if he is enjoying the casual dating scene. Straight forward, but not overbearing...
