I've been dating this girl for about 5 months. We've already agreed to be exclusive (she brought it up a couple weeks after we met, I stalled for a couple weeks and then agreed) and she calls me her "boyfriend".
A couple nights ago we were lying in bed after sex and all of a sudden she turns to me and says "Do you consider this a serious relationship?". I said I didn't understand what that meant since we had already agreed to be exclusive, and she said "well, I'm not asking you to get married or anything like that but I want to be in a serious relationship, and not just a fling" or something like that. I said "this would be pretty long for a fling" but I never really answered the question and we started talking about something else.
I'm wondering why she asked me this and what she was really asking.
Background info: we only see each other 2-3 times a week, she always texts/IMs me saying "I miss you" and etc, she initiates contact 99% of the time and has told me she feels bad about that (http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=167530). Lately she has also been texting/iming me saying "I <3 you" but never says anything like that in person and I don't say it back. The relationship is great, sex every time we see each other, she buys me stuff and cooks for me all the time, etc. I'm not really used to anyone being this nice to me :crackup:
