Dating, just dating. And he's dating someone else too. So how long before dating should become an (exclusive) relationship?

A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Okay quick question.

Im 15, I'm dating this guy..

He is keeping his options open because he is 16.

Dating me, and dating someone else.

Nothing is official so I am okay with it,

and before we started dating he told me, so I am okay with it.

How long do you think 2 people should date before they start going out?

Especially if the guy is 16 and he isn't looking to jump into a relationship straight away?

Thanks x

If you two are just dating... and he wants already to date someone else... I say its not going to work. When you are in the beginning of a relationship, that is when you like that person more than any other time. You dont know their deep dark secrets and you dont have to. Thats the best time, you think they are cute and adorable. It should not be until later that he feels he has to date someone else. I guess it is a good thing that he is telling you. But young guys at that age, usually they dont want a relationship, and if you push him into one, then he will start to lie and cheat. Just play it cool for a while. Dont push the exclusive termonlogy on him. You should see someone else too, that would probably get more of his attention sent your way! Good luck.

Joe158 agony auntYeah i agree with Bethy...there's no real "set" length of dating before it becomes exclusive. It's generally just you go out together more and till you feel comfortable, then eventually asking him out, or being asked out.
