Exclusively Dating

Happy

I used to wonder what “Exclusively Dating” means. It’s one of the relationship status options of some social networking sites. And some friends told me that’s their relationship status. I found it stupid and illogical to exclusively date one person without committing to that person.

Now I understand. I am currently “exclusively dating” somebody and I’m happy about it. It’s been more than a month but we’re not quite a couple yet. He’s a stickler for details and dates and stuff so we’re not yet committed. He wants to wait out a couple more months before we can say we’re a couple.

Every now and then I jokingly ask him when he’s going to let him be my boyfriend. He say’s on the third month. So I have a month or so of waiting to do before I can say he’s my boyfriend.

We’re doing great. A few bumps and kinks here and there. I am not used to relationships and he has some expectations that I have not been able to deliver thus far. But we’re both trying. And it’s been good.

I hope we reach the second and third month marks, maybe then sasagutin niya na ako. Then, we’d be a couple… in a relationship. So my relatives and friends can stalk him already and ask him uncomfortable questions. Haha!

I hope he’d continue to be patient with me, be more understanding that I’m not used to thinking and acting like I’m part of a couple. And I hope this is it na gyud… that I might be able to celebrate an anniversary. And many more anniversaries in the coming years. That I’ll be able to share with life with somebody and grow old with him.

Exclusively dating is very challenging, like being on a limbo between being a couple and not being a couple. You don’t brand yourselves as boyfriend and girlfriend and yet you don’t and can’t date other people.

Looking forward to the day we officially become a couple. Meantime, I’m enjoying this new thing I am experiencing, a person who takes care of me so well and is not hesitant in showing me how important I am.

Salamat bi. 🙂
