When do couples become exclusive

And not just because of the sex. Your face will give you away. And you are. Tagging them in it? Hundreds of likes from both sets of friends? Zero sarcastic comments underneath, even from your dimmest mates?

Welcome to exclusive-Ville, population: you two. Seeing disappointment etched on their face causes you actual, physical pain? Resolved never to be late? Try extra hard to get the coffee they like? Sounds fast, right? They attribute this lightning-speed exclusivity to how soon couples are becoming intimate sleeping together after only 3.

Personally, I know after the first thirty minutes of a first date if the person is someone I can see myself with. Dating after college is a much bigger commitment than dating on campus; it takes more time and effort to schedule a date and work out the logistics of seeing each other.

So: If we can make such big life choices in such a short amount of time… what would it be like if other life events happened that fast? Here are a few life experience I, for one, wish would happen in a month — or even a month boiled down to 24 hours! If you want to be exclusive, have the talk.

Some people will consider themselves to be officially in a relationship after a handful of dates. Others might want to wait until ten or more dates have happened before committing. The number of dates you wish to wait before forming a proper relationship will be personal to you. You are exclusive, but not really looking toward the long term as a couple. Those labels are signs of a committed relationship. They speak of an emotional bond that goes beyond dating or seeing someone and even further than being exclusive to someone.

So, it should come as no surprise to learn that different people enjoy their first kiss at different times. Many people will share some form of kiss on a first date, but it might be more of a peck than a snog. If you are particularly shy or conservative, it might take longer. You should not feel pressured into kissing someone before you are ready. And some might wait just a couple of dates if the sexual tension is strong.

So if things are moving too fast for you, try to slow them down. Chat online to a relationship expert from Relationship Hero who can help you figure things out.
