Hi All,

A friend of mine that I've known for a few years popped the question on me this past weekend. The question being "Can we be exclusive?" He and I had always had a good friendship and at one point, I did want to date him. Our friendship had always been a little bit more than just friends, as we've held hands and kissed before.

This is all new territory for me as I had never dated anyone that I actually knew. I have a few questions about dating a friend for those ONLY who have experienced this.

1) Is there a honeymoon/infatuation phase? That excitement of 'new' isnt there for me...

2) Is there an adjustment period to see them more than just a friend, but rather a BF/GF? I still see him as I've seen him before.... the friend that I have always know him to be. I just know now that we're committed to each other.

3) Were you two ever intimate while being friends? He and I went out several times, held hands, kissed, hugged and slept in the same bed.

4) Am I supposed to act any differently? I know its a dumb question and the answer is obvious, but I don't know if I should act more like a 'girlfriend' or just continue acting as his friend...

Thank you,

Milani
