I know how this might seem but hear me out..
So I’m a single 24F and I’ve never been in a proper “relationship” like boyfriend and girlfriend, but I’ve been in plenty of situationships.
I guess I am not a forward person so I’ve never initiated the talk (I don’t think I would ever want to have dated any of those people anyways), but I’m truly wondering how two people become bf/gf, like how the conversation is brought up, when, who brings it up, etc.
So anyway, just asking for people’s personal experiences on how they landed in a relationship.
I’m reaching an age where my parents/relatives are asking and I have literally no idea … how… to even get started with that chapter of my life. I’ve never really had anyone tell me how they became official.
I think my point is that I’ve spoken to plenty of men for long enough but no one had initiated that convo, but I’ll see women who are able to have a bunch of relationships and I’m just curious why I’m built different

- I’m a 35M that got into my relationship with my 35F girlfriend because we met back in primary school and we reconnected many years later and we ended up being a couple.
- A friend and I started spending more and more time together. We’d have sleepovers, go on long walks when neither of us could sleep, and we’d spit Boba pearls at one another. When I realized I’d fallen for him, I just blurted out that I wanted to be with him. He told me that he felt the same and things have been good ever since.
- After you’ve been seeing someone for some time, you can ask “hey, do you want to be exclusive?”. It can help if you can wait a bit before having sex. Establish a relationship based on common interests etc before getting physical.
