Cheers2U…IF your “hehehe” signals applause when someone (daBoy or daGirl) steps up!

Usual flip side is: See you *1*, and Raise you *2* can get cumbersome and problematic and unproductive.

Happy Every HaHa!

Being a hot headed woman, I went batshit crazy and told him he needed to decide if I was his girlfriend or he could watch me walk. He called over another mate and introduced me as "his girlfriend".... heeeeheee I was in a similar situation with a guy – but he was giving me plenty of PDAs all the time in front of his mates and had been seeing him for about a month very frequently, but one day we ran into an old friend of his and he introduced me as “someone he was hanging out with”.

If it has been less than a month, I can see wanting to avoid the gf "title". Always seems to me though, the bf/gf designation comes in somewhere between months 1 and 3. Maybe I'm just jaded, but if you have been sleeping with someone for 2-3 months and they are still referring to you as "a friend" - it's a signal they are still keeping their options open. Do you know for a fact this guy isn't dating anyone else? I think the answer to this depends on how long they have been dating…or whatever.

Just because he's not always into PDA, doesn't mean he's not into you. What does he do for YOU? Just because he doesn't say sweet nothings, doesn't mean he's not into you on a romantic level. My bf says nothing, but shows how he feels by doing tons of stuff for me, above and beyond what a "normal" bf would do. And if you need validation of who you are to him in public, is that your insecurity showing? You need to have "the talk" albeit as Jeff would suggest. Then decide if your needs are being met.

The important thing is what do YOU want? Women tend to give, give, give and wait and hope for the man to grant them what they want. If YOU want a boyfriend/girlfriend exclusive relationship, then I agree with Melissa. Don't act like his girlfriend in private (kissing/sex...) now that he's made it clear you are a "friend". When a man wants you and only you, he usually has no trouble letting you know it. He wants to make sure there aren't any other penises around.

It seems to me the guy is just not sure. Perhaps he is not clear about what he wants or where the relationship is going. When we tell our friends and family about someone suddenly it becomes REAL. He might be a lil uncomfortable with that at this point. Take into consideration how long you have been seeing him, if this is new then this is normal. If you have been dating for a while then I think its safe to say this guy does not want a commitment. Overall talking about it with him is the best advice you can get. ” Don’t go batshit crazy and yell about it” LMAO!…I love that. It seems to me the guy is just not sure.
