how long before a title?

How long do you think you should date someone before there are titles (boyfriend/girlfriend) given?
I have been dating someone for 3 weeks. We see each other about 4-5 times/week...but he still says we've "only been hanging out a short time." It drives me nuts. If we were only hanging out, I'd see him 4-5 times in total, not per week.

3 weeks is a very short period of time to expect a title regardless of the amount of time spent together. If it was 3 months there might be a different conversation.
Good luck!
I am dating off/on with others. Not sleeping with everyone either! But dating.
I think a title or the added pressure to go with exclusiveness right now is a waste of time.. because I'm not 100% sure he is relationship material, and I'm not sure I am able to committ at this moment.
Where are you at? Sometimes we demand of the guys we're dating something because we think it'll give us security or control .. and yet when we think about what we want and can give.. it sometimes doesn't match what we're asking... so Just see where you are at... and remember to just be patient -

not saying you depend upon other's opinions... but let things happen and judge for yourself. that is the only right way or answer to anything
and i do bite my tongue on what i wrote yesterday - i dont care about the guy ive been dating for 3 mos now and the title cuz i thought about how he told his friend sunday morning - 'im over at my friends' right now. we always refer to each other as friends since wwe're not bf/gf yet. this never bothered me until last night and i thought 'i dont want to be his friend, i want to be his gf'. so its time for the talk at this pt. and i dont think hes there yet. so I'm at a crossroads. Ironic.
it seems like you and this guy get along so well, so i hope it works out. sounds like you are going on the right path.

if you don't like calling it 'hanging out' perhaps call it 'dating' - unless of course you aren't actually going on dates, and really are just 'hanging out' :P
Basically, don't force it - just give it time to develop.
Three weeks is a short time.
