I need help! I have been with a man on and off for a year. We are on again (he initiated it) but I have yet to be introduced to family or friends. He hasn't said anything about wanting to be exclusive but I don't know how long is appropriate to wait to have that conversation. I don't at all want to be that girl that turns on the pressure if it is inappropriate but I feel like we should make some sort of progress into the boyfriend/girlfriend arena. How long is too long to casually date? I feel like we make slow progress but I don't know how long this has to go on for and I'm ready fro something more serious. He broke up with me the first time and then asked for a second chance which I gave him because I had strong feelings for him but I just think that this time around things would be more serious because that is what he said he wanted-to be more serious but really I don't feel like they are


Thanks,

Sorry that I didn't get to reply sooner, my computer system was down.


Is there any chance that this guy is actually married or dating other people as well as you? The reason I ask is it does seem very odd that after a year you haven't met his friends, even for an on and off relationship. I worry more about that than anything.


I think I would flat out ask him why he has not introduced you to them. Hopefully he will have a reasonable and truthful reason why.


Keep us posted....
