So how do you ask someone that you talking to that you want to be in a relationship. I thought the man was suppose to offer the relationship
So you’ll hear different things depending on where people are at as far as relationships and where they are in age.
Generally, I’ve found for younger girls, especially here stateside, unless they are feeling you like and you get that “what are we" comment, you almost gotta just go with the flow. Get her to like your presence then she'll want to fight for that exclusivity.
However, for slightly older women I've found they're more receptive and actually prefer being upfront in earlier on. Obviously mother time has to do with it as well.
I prefer knowing where I stand with a chick instead of just "going with the flow". At least if you guys are in a committed, exclusive relationship, then there are boundaries and expectations etc. The whole "going with the flow/let's see where this ends up" is one of the reasons I think people are out here frustrated in the dating market.
On the bolded, I think you mentioned having immigrant parents earlier in this thread. I'll assume West / Sub-Sahran Africa or West Indian. In those societies, the end goal of a relationship is usually marriage hence men "offering the relationship" so to speak, that's the first step towards marriage. Over here things are a bit different obviously.
I'll just say this. Stay true to who you are and what you want in the dating game.
