Do you need to have "the talk"

LegacyUser

Just a quick one for ye. As the title suggests is it always necessary to have a talk about if you are actually in a relationship.

I have beenseeing someone for about 2 months, not everyday...perhaps 1 time during the week and more or less every weekend for most of the weekend.

We get on great, enjoy eachothers company and have both told eachother we really like eachother...We exchanged gifts last sunday also.

The reason I bring it up is becuase I think to all intents we are in a relationship however we haven't had the talk, and when I was at home last night I got a bit of a mocking because I said to a couple of my roommates when talking that we weren't official. Now Ive no problem with it and at the moment I think it would be wrong if either of us went off with someone else....

So I guess all im really asking is do you need to have this talk or can you equally just fall into a relationship with someone without it been confirmed in so many words???

I never had the talk with my girlfriend, we just knew and we'd only been going out for a couple of weeks.

That said some people need to have it, only you can decide into which group the two of you fall into.

That said, if you have doubt, it's very easy to ask her if she considers the two of you a couple.

I never had it with my OH either but a friend asked us on a night out are we going out like a few months after we started and we just both kinda looked at each other and said yes. I'm glad though cause i would have no idea what to say if this talk had to happen.

I think having a chat about it would be a good idea, at least you will know where you are heading towards and can maybe make long term goals.
