When Does "Dating" Officially Starts In A Relationship? by Puss360(op): 5:39pm On Aug 15, 2023
After seeing this topic -https://www.nairaland.com/7803848/leave-good-woman-man-because -
I decided to ask when does "We are dating" officially starts in a relationship..

Assuming a guy exchange number with a girl on Friday, they began chatting, on Friday the following week, they met for lunch...

Fast forward to a month later, the guy discovered that Tuesday before the Friday they met for lunch, the girl had sex with a frnd..

Can the guy claim the girl cheated while they were dating??

I'm confused here ..

The relationship starts immediately she agrees to his love request
In this case she didn't cheat on him because he's yet to pop the question .
Slept with a friend is the part I don't understand, how?

Surely as a single girl without commitment, some girls have male FWB...
Then when she has a serious guy in her life, she'll end all commitment and focus....

"Immediately she agrees to his love request".. how?
Some guys that'll see you on the road and begin to shower you with love talk so how will we know the original love?

Abi once a guy collect your number, you are now dating? If I collect another guy number the next day nko?

Giving your number to a guy doesn't equates to dating na.
The dating starts immediately you agree to his toasting, that's what I'm saying.

Easier said than done...
What I learnt sef was, the best way to break up relationship is through phone..
Coz some guys can be very aggressive when annoyed...

Dating for me starts when dude has ticked all the boxes and we have made deliberate decision to get close above friendship or talking stage level the number of weeks,months or years this level takes differ and depends on readiness and attraction grin .

Now to your scenario, If I meet a guy l like, i wouldn't be under the sheets with another guy few days I met the guy I like. That lady is either detached from her body or has her emotions everywhere. If I'm a guy, I wouldn't take such lady seriously.

Nevertheless she didn't cheat on him, rather she's a loose one.

Dating begins when you've fu**ed each other. Else you as a man will be spending and assuming. Some girls Will say 'Yes" to you and be making demands but wouldn't want to get down with you. As soon as you are serious about getting down with them, they ghost you.

Still my thoughts

huh

The day you exchange phone 📱 number is when the dating officially start...

Gone are the days when a lady refuse to drop number, you will have to be waiting on every bus stop 🚏 or street to look for her...

But now, once you meet a lady and she do small Shakira and later gives you her number, dating don start be that ooo
