If you feel comfortable being exclusive with someone, you should also be comfortable saying that you're in a relationship with that person. Photo: 123rf.com
I’ve received a lot of questions asking if there’s a difference between being exclusive with someone and the relationship being “official.” People are also asking, “How long should I wait after being exclusive before being ‘official’?”
The question usually comes from someone who is seeing someone they like (it’s usually a woman asking), and she’s told by her potential partner, “I’m comfortable being exclusive (as in, only dating each other), but I’m not ready to make it official yet/not ready for titles or labels yet.”
