Hanging out with someone often doesn’t mean you are necessarily dating. But some people cannot really tell the difference.
If you are really close to a person and begin to wonder if you are, in fact, “dating,” you might want to check the signs.
Here are 5 ways to tell if you are dating someone:
1. You spend almost every day together
Although you might not have labels, spending almost every moment together is a sign that you are dating.
Another sign is physical attractiveness to each other.
2. You met each other’s family or friends
If your friends and family start to ask if you and the person you are seeing are dating, then you probably are.
On the other hand, if neither of you have introduced the other to the people you are really close with, then there is a chance that you are not quite there yet.
3. You talk about what’s next
It doesn’t necessarily mean you are talking about the distant future.
But even talking about plans for the next week or the next couple of months is a clear sign that you are dating.
4. You know a lot about each other
If you open yourself up to a person and they open themselves up to you, then you are probably dating.
However, if the person is like a closed book and you can’t quite get them to talk about themselves, you are not that comfortable with each other to be dating.
5. You had the talk
The most obvious sign that you are dating someone online or offline is having the talk.
If you had the relationship talk and have a pretty good understanding about where the relationship is going, then you are in a dating relationship with that person.
