Trying to figure out your relationship status with someone isn’t always easy. Every relationship that you have is different, and it’s not uncommon to find yourself thinking about where you and your partner fall on the relationship spectrum and where your current connection is possibly heading.
Fortunately, there are five key ways that can help to clue you in as to where you stand with your partner so you no longer have to wonder, “Are we dating?”
If you’re wondering if you and your partner are officially dating each other, you should take a closer look at the time that you spend together. Do you only hang out at two in the morning after a late-night text in which this person invites you over?
Do you spend multiple days and nights with one another throughout the week? When you’re dating someone, the two of you will want to spend as much time as you can together and will put in every effort to plan dates and outings.
Your time together will enable you to connect on a deeper and meaningful level. On the flip side, if you’re just hooking up or are friends with benefits, you may hang out from time to time and then not see or hear from this person for a while, only to receive a random text from him or her again on a whim.
