okay me and my guy have been friends forever and in the past months started making out and are all over each other but i have a problem for some reason when he calls me his girlfriend because i feel like i'm like tied to him but we are boyfriend and girlfriend, i think. i'm not sure because any of my relationships before never lasted but that was my own fault. What do ya think? Should i start calling him my boyfriend and calling us a couple just cause it might make him feel bad if i don't?

In my opinion, umless you kiss all of your freinds...your a couple. If you dnt want to be "tied down", as you put it, then you need to be clear on that with him. Not doing so and leading him to beleive you are more than you want to be is wrong and hurtful.

You're NOT Gf or BF, you're just in a "friends with benefits" deal. In other words, you're hooking up and nothing more. If you want to know if you're dating then ask him but first stop the make out sessions and getting all over each other. You'll get your answer.

Making out does not make you a couple. Plenty of people have physical relationships without the emotional bond that 'couples' do. Do you date? Do you talk? Talk to him and find out where he stands then explain what you want or don't want from your friendship. Don't do him any favors by using the term boyfriend if you don't think of him that way.
