Odd question about relationships
I was wondering how long you wait to consider yourself to be in a relationship with someone. I mean when someone goes from the "someone I'm seeing/like" to the girlfriend/boyfriend stage.
I had an interesting conversation with someone about this topic today - she said after one good date, she could consider someone a boyfriend. I thought that was a bit ridiculous.

Does "One Good Date" = Happy ending date?

Those are the kind of women you're better off not making your girlfriend.

Always refer to Seinfeld my friend.
When dates on the weekend begin to be assumed you are officially bf and gf.
Although some people are way more lax, ie your friend, and some people think unless there is a declaration after several months of being "steady" then no such agreement exists and they are free to sleep around because you aren't exclusive.
That being said I have a slightly different interpretation of "dating" than some people. I've known a few dudes and chicks that see no problem with dating several people at once and choosing the best one after a few dates each (or sometimes just one). While in principle I agree with this I don't think anything past a kiss goodnight should be taking place during these instances. If I nailed two different chicks within a week because I considered us "not exclusive" and I ended up going steady with one of them, maybe even getting married I'd feel pretty dirty that I was nailing another chick while she thought we were on the verge of a prosperous relationship.

Yah, have to agree with Jerry. When George got to the Friday night assumed date stage, they were in a relationship.

I never really "saw" anyone, and basically assumed that if the date went well, and there were plans for a second... that was basically "girlfriend" teritory.
My wife has told me many times that she had no idea that we were "dating", when I had told our mutual friend after our first date that I thought we were.

Heh, my mind went immediately to a different Seinfeld moment. "Let me ask you this: are there any feminine hygiene products in your bathroom? Because if there are, I'll tell you what you got: You got yourself a girlfriend." (loosely quoted)

If you consider her your girlfriend after one date, you are not her boyfriend, but a creeper

When you go from using condoms to withdrawal, you're in a relationship.

I don't think there's a formula for this question ... way too nebulous.

For me, after I've been seeing a girl for a few weeks, I usually bring it up myself. I'll just flat out ask her if she's seeing anyone else or whether she considers us a unit. Since it's usually the girl that wants to know this, they're always relieved when I bring it up for them. Then I tell them that I'm not going to be seeing anyone else and that it's all about her for the forseeable future. Then we do the dirty and I let her stay over. Then, within a few months, I'm single again.

Ha................that is ridiculous.
My take is this;
If you choose to see a woman 2 times a week or less, this is "seeing someone".
However if you start taking her out on weekends and seeing eachother regularly, the woman will go into "relationship mode" and start behaving like you are bf/gf. If she really wants a relationship, make her as attracted as possible, and SHE will bring it up.
