What if she asks me to be her boyfriend?
Many men are in the dating game just for the fun of it. They like to meet new women, chat with them, get their number, and meet them again for dinner or coffee after a few days. You probably are, since you are reading this article. It’s a challenge to captivate a woman enough to give you her number after just a few minutes, but it’s entirely possible if you make everything work. It’s really a fun thing to do, and women enjoy it too.
But what if she asks you to be her boyfriend? Suddenly, she wants to change things from “dating” to a “relationship,” and she may be enough to scare off some guys. What do you do when she suddenly talks about the “R” word?
It totally depends on you. Many relationships that start halfway turn into really good bonds between a man and a woman that last a lifetime. But I think when you get into a relationship with a woman you’ve known for less than a few months, you risk jumping into something that’s a little too hot to handle.
Dating is different from relationships. It is much easier to get a girlfriend than to keep one, since almost any man can get a girlfriend at least once in his life. Keeping one, on the other hand, is an entirely different matter. When it comes to keeping a girlfriend and making her happy, you’ll need the benefit of having known her for more than a few months.
Why is this? Because it’s funny how a little disagreement can ruin a good relationship. Take at least three months to really get to know yourself, to see how the relationship can and cannot work. Both of you will need to know that a relationship is a two-way street, and you will need to compromise on many things to make it work.
If you suddenly feel scared because she asked you to be her boyfriend, stay calm and composed. You can say something like, “Sure, call me whatever you want. But I’d like to get to know you a bit more first, if that’s all the same.” It’s not rude and shows that you’re open to the possibility, but at the same time, you’re protecting both of you from getting hurt too soon.
