The DTR

[AlwaysSAI]

I was thinking about this thread the other day and I realized I left one guy out.

The guy I dated for 3.5 years, when we were first seeing each other--into it a few weeks, I just let him know he was mine. I just said it one day & he didn't object.

The difference between exclusively seeing each other & being a girl/boyfriend is that with exclusivity there is a lower level of commitment, I think. And, it's easier to back out of. Being a boy/girlfriend comes with a higher level of commitment. More emotions involved....more of a "future" is talked about.

I think. But, I suck at relationships, so I could be completely wrong.

So it's like a pre-boyfriend? Like the diff between an engagement ring and a promise ring...they both mean essentially the same, but one you can back out of more easily.
