(This is my first "dating relationship" since my 7 year LTR, sorry if this is a stupid question!)
How long should you be dating someone before you become a couple/boyfriend/girlfriend?
I've been seeing this guy for about 2 months, 5 or 6 big dates/sleepovers (once every two weeks), we get along great in almost every way. He said he likes to take things slow before making it official, which is fine by me. He always talks about how we would make a great couple, he could see us being together for a long time, etc etc. I've made it clear that I want to be official with him, so it's not like he fears rejection at this point.
I'm just wondering what is the norm here? I know people will say it's different for each person, but I want to know at what point I'm being strung along.
