Well me and my boyfriend were "dating", "kicking it", whatever you wanna call it for almost a year and a half before we made it official. And for the last seven months i was basically his girlfriend without the title, I did all the things a girlfriend does. But the difference is...we were being comitted and monogamous, we just weren't an official couple. Besides, I cared for him deeply, and I knew he did want to make it official one day...he was just waiting to be absloutely sure that I was that one. A relationship is a big step up...you can no longer just walk away from someone.
So to make a long story short, I say go for what you feel. There is NO set time limit in my opinion. My friends constantly told me that I didn't have to wait around, that he was bullsh*ting, but if you can stick it out...then do it. Because what we have now is even better than before, and my friends are estatic for me.
However, if it's been over a year, and the boy still won't be monogamous or exclusive to you...I say let him know he better TAKE IT...OR LEAVE IT!
But that's just my 22 cents
