A male United States age 41-50, *fden30 writes:

In my experience (I've had 5 serious girlfriends and I'm 29 yrs old), if a guy approaches a girl, asks her out, she agrees and they start seeing each other, within 1-2 months either a committed relationship starts or they decide to be friends. How likely is it that a committed relationship will start if within 1-2 months it hasnt happened?

Unfortunately there are no rules, you just have to chill out and take it as it comes.

If you want commitment offer her a ring - anything before that is just a verbal agreement.

I've been seeing guys for months and never been serious with them. I met my husband and knew within a couple of weeks he was the one for me. Everyone and every relationship is different.

Good Luck!! xx

Star_07 agony auntI dont think there is a time limit of when a committed relationship can begin, it of course depends on the people you are talking about!

You can be in a committed relationship from Day 1 or you can date a while, a few months or whatever then decide to be in a committed relationship. I think that if it hasnt happened in 1 or 2 months and that is what the person wants then he/she needs to tell the person that they want a committed relationship or at least an exclusive relationship (no dating anyone else).

misfitschik66 agony auntwell it depends on the person really and how comfortable they feel in the relationship my boyfriend and i dated for 4 months before he said he was committed to me completely(as in he wanted to be with me for a long time) he said he was committed to me from the very start of our relationship(as in not seeing anyone else besides me) and then it took another 8 months for us to make the decision to move in together

like i said it all depends on the situation and the comfort in the relationship and it depends on the person!
