You should probably know when you're in a relationship right?

You would think so, unless it was some sort of creepy stalker moment, I was fairly certain having a partner needed to be a mutual understanding.....Somehow I missed the point when it actually happened...

This sounds perfectly delightful to me, and the way a relationship should begin: no fanfare, just a natural flowering.

:) After I got over my freak out, I kinda think the same. No pressure, expectations or desperate need for it to begin with... lets hope it doesnt suddenly change again without me knowing haha

This actually has happened to me quite a few times! People assumed we were in a relationship when I really had no idea-- even though I'm actually dating someone now!

I suppose a congratulations is in order for you? At least you know now.

I don't know if its something needing congratulating :p I didn't train for the moment lol but yeah it has happened to me before except this is the first time i've actually had to agree lol. Maybe I'm not quite the commitmentphobe i thought i was :p

I'm not from the states, so I wouldn't know the tiny nuances that you have in your "dialect" (or whatever you would call it, I mean local differences)... but in my ears "seeing someone" does not sound the same as "having a relationship"...
If it was a relationship, you two would have talked about that first...
(nowadays it is even common to put it "official" on your FB as soon as that talk has been done.)

OMG - Facebook apparently makes everything real haha - You know when you're no longer friends with someone when you are deleted as a friend. I doubt I'd be updating my details though.. My facebook lets everyone know I am in a domestic relationship with a mate and somehow I might be a little devastated if that had to somehow end :p

Yeah I think seeing someone is the dating stage but I could be wrong - I find that there is odd differences here in Australia from one state to another. I could have interpreted it wrong, but after a bit more information the conclusion I had leapt to was a safe landing :)

Now here I was thinking that normally when you decide to officially accept being in a relationship, you would then discuss it with each other. It's like he had this discussion with himself... weird, very weird...

Good luck with that. You should ask what day you officially started dating for anniversary purposes, otherwise you might be starting this off on the wrong foot.

haha yeah - I might wait a bit to see if it even matters. I don't want to be too cynical but I know I'm stubborn, outspoken and like to be challenged with strong conversations. It's been so long since I've actually done the dating thing, I might be horrible at it!

haha I don't think I would demand a conversation - because in my head I'd feel like an awkward 13 year old asking if we start using the "boyfriend" word or whether I should start trying to slip them secretly into my social groups.... lol if one of them met him then it would be a sudden rush and demand to see this person who got me in a position many had learnt to stop asking me about :p
