My partner asked me in a text if we were romantically involved but we haven’t necessarily spoken about what we are yet. They’ve asked me multiple times if I liked them and I’ve asked the same thing but it was the first time they mentioned romance.
I think I want to know more about what romantically involved means, does it mean “relationship” or is it just we make love but aren’t into commitment. I was too scared to ask them the last time I saw them what we were because I didn’t feel the time was right and I’m too nervous.
Literally just ask them. Set boundaries. Set expectations. Tell them what you want out of the relationship, whatever that is. Ask them what they want. Genuinely listen to them.
Every relationship is different. Every relationship evolves and changes over time. The only way to know what your relationship is right now is to ask with the intent to understand
