I’m really confused. Btw, I’m 22 and I’ve been seeing John for about 2 months. Things have been going well. We go on dates regularly, text all the time and I feel like we really match. I like him and I think he likes me too but the problem is I’m not sure when it’s the right time to become exclusive. We’ve both wanted something serious but none of us mentioned it. I don’t want to rush him but I also don’t want to keep waiting if we’re both feeling the same way. I wanted to confess but I was scared. I was scared that he’s still not ready for a relationship. I’m wondering if I should bring it up but I’m worried it might scare him off or make things awkward if he’s not ready. How do you know when it’s the right time to make a relationship official?
If he’s not ready yet, you can’t control that—he’s the one who has control over it. So my advice is to look at other options too. You can also consider meeting or talking to other people if, until now, he still isn’t ready for you. But you can still keep communicating with him.
It’s difficult if you get stuck just waiting for him to be ready. What if before that even happens, he ends up falling for someone else? Then you lose.
