How long have you dated before becoming official

I've been seeing my Aqua man for 2 months. We get along very well, we're very good friends, we talk every day, we have everything in common. The only downside is we don't get to see each other very often because we live a good distance apart and are both very busy. Basically it's a match made in Heaven, buuuuuut he still seems open to meeting other women or seeing who's out there. Do you guys like to keep your options open for awhile before settling down, or what? Maybe he's just not all that into me. You know how difficult to read you guys are. You keep everything inside. I know he likes me, even though he won't say it. He told me he's not seeing anyone else, and I believe him. I'm just thinking one might know by now if they want to be with you or not. Am I wrong? Maybe that's just from my Cancer point-of-view, because I knew I liked right away. Though it seems like it, I'm not trying to rush anything or tie him down, hence why I'm posing this question to all of you instead of him. This is just my first experience with an Aqua, and I'm trying to figure you guys out.

So how do/did you go about the whole dating thing?

I only date one person at any given time... what they do is on them (I tend to end up with guys who are the same though and not playing the field - how can you get to know someone if you're attention is diverted all different ways amongst many?).

I like to say 5+ months.I usually test the limit of how long a person will wait, I don't like to lead someone on so if I'm not all the way interested I will let you know; while still talking to you on a friendship level and maybe one other person on a potential note. Maybe he doesn't see himself in a relationship with you yet, give it time like you've been doing. Everything is face value with an aqua except emotions. So if he's exploring other potential women he's not looking for anything just yet, or isn't as serious to the possibility of just giving one person his time/attention.

Since yall are long distance, it will take a little bit longer to determine whether you're someone he would want to be exclusive with (yes, goes both ways). With distance, it's harder to get to know someone in a face to face situation, harder to determine their character and harder to decide how you feel about someone. I mean, you've got to have time to discover the negative traits before you can decide if you're ready to stop looking at other options. Just harder to get to know what those qualities are when you're seeing each other less often than you would be if you lived closer together.

It also has to do with how often you get to see each other. If you've only met up a few times, then, yes, it will take much longer. And, no, he won't be ready to stop looking until he's been around you many, many more times.

I think my aqua and I decided not to see other people about three months in. We didn't make it "facebook official" until about the 8th month, when we both knew that this relationship had lasting power.

Stop worrying about exclusivity and just get to know each other.

Anywhere between the first date to a year.
