Today, I messaged the guy I've been seeing for 4 months, referring to him as my boyfriend. His response? "I didn't realize you had a boyfriend." FML

Today, I brought my new boyfriend to dinner with my family. Everything was going smoothly until my dad asked him how long we’d been dating. My boyfriend looked at me, then said, "Uh, I think it's been… four months?" I looked horrified and said, "It's been TWO!" Now I’m wondering if we’re dating or just two confused people stuck in a situationship. FML

Seems understandable if you have not ever talked about it.

You need to talk things over with him. If you haven't discussed being boyfriend and girlfriend, then I understand.

Outside of like the seventh grade, you don't have a boyfriend unless the two of you sit down and decide together that that is your relationship status. My husband and I didn't start using that word until after seven months. There is no amount of time that marks "this is the point at which you are now boyfriend/girlfriend." You have to talk about it.

Going on dates and banging does not = committed relationship.

If you don't live with him an you never discussed it before, then yes it makes you look weird

Have you 2 had the conversation? If not then ydi.
