I 25M have been with my girlfriend 26F for a year and a half.
We spent a year together, introduced each other to our families and she even moved in with me
When we initially got to know each other online and began flirting and having calls here and there. It developed to sending spicy pictures and videos which led to our first proper date.
We made out and immediately got freaky that night and she stayed over at my house that weekend and at least I thought we started dating then.
We grew to tell each other that we love each other after a couple of months and were doing all the couple related things, dates, trips, meeting each other’s families and she even moved in with me six months ago.
We celebrated our one year anniversary but apparently she just thought we were celebrating the time we had a real date.
Celebrated our one year anniversary, but to her it was one year of friendship because I didn’t officially ask her to be my girlfriend so she didn’t know what was our status
Today she took me out for a date and was just thanking me for being there for her especially in the last six months and she basically said she wishes we will date sometime in the near future.
This took me by surprise but basically made me realised I never actually officially asked her out in all we had done and been through.
She actually thought I was hooking up with one of my colleagues who’s my close friend but she hadn’t said anything about it because she was scared of overstepping her boundaries.
She then actually told me that the relationship she thought I had with my co-worker was one of the few reasons she hadn’t just asked me out herself because she wants us to be monogamous as she’s only been with me since we met.
It ended up being cute and all but I did feel like an idiot when I realised I wasn’t actually dating my girlfriend.
