<p>hey, i gotta question</p>
<p>i've been dating this girl for about a month. she's really cool and i like her. it's not she's the only person i've dated. but i was wondering how i should make the transition from dating to going steady, like officially a couple. should i just ask her if we can make this into a single commitment and only see each other or what? </p>
<p>yeah, help me on my syntax</p>
<p>you can take the cliche route...when talking to her just say "we would make the best couple"... if you get a complete silence then chill out, if she agrees then ask her out</p>
<p>huh? i'm already dating her, just not exclusively. how should i propose we go steady</p>
<p>'do you wana go steady?'</p>
<p>i guess i could jsut say that. you guys got anything more stylish or eloquent?</p>
<p>"Would you like to go steady with me?"</p>
<p>You can even get down on one knee. Though it might be a bit misleading.</p>
<p>the basic.. "your the first girl ive ever really liked" or "ive never liked a girl the way i like you:... "i feel like everything is perfect when me and you are together"... "just being with makes me happy, its like we could just sit here and i would be having a great time".... "i think maybe we should go exclusive"... </p>
<p>thats about as basic as it gets im sure you can tweak that and make it work</p>
<p>LOL exclusive!! nice one terry!!</p>
<p>haha...thanks everybody</p>
<p>Can you spell latex?</p>
<p>I don't know...If you're dating nowadays, isn't it pretty much understood that you're together? I know fifty years ago, people went out with different people virtually every night. Have you asked this girl out? What's the relationship between you two? Is she dating others?</p>
<p>It's seems kind of weird...I think you should be casual about it. If some guy I'm dating puts me on the spot...I can garuntee an akward silence would ensue. Just don't put her on the spot so much, so if she wants to say no, she won't feel so bad about saying no or won't say yes because she feels pressured.</p>
<p>What does she think of the relationship you have with her? What is it in her mind?</p>
<p>I don't think she's dating other people, but I am. And I can't really guarantee or assume that she's only dating me.</p>
<p>I was under the impression that since you were dating, you were a couple. However, I see that that's not the case. If I were I, I'd stop dating other people to show her that I'm willing to commit.</p>
<p>Honestly, do not expect more of her than that which you are willing to do yourself. It seems so foreign, as nowadays, people tend to be a couple if they are dating, meaning that they do not date others. Your relationship seems a bit casual. She will undoubtedly not accept your proposal if you are still with others, as that shows absolutely no committment.</p>
<p>At my school, this is really uncommon. Dating=exclusive. Dating around is generally not accepted...:p</p>
<p>Same here...You're seen as a "skank", a "slut", a "wh*re", etc. if you are a "player"...</p>
<p>At my new high school, people kiss a lot less in the halls than in my old high school.</p>
<p>it seems like its uncommon at your school but im 100% sure that a lot of ppl date around but just classify it as "hanging out"... for instance they will go get something to eat with someone or go see a movie with someone and not really call it a date, i think this is what the OP is referring to.(i.e. mike calls up jess b/c hes bored and asks her if she wants to go get something to eat or come over to his house.... next day mike calls up susie and asks if she wants to go see or movie or something)... i could be wrong though</p>
