I dated this French guy last weekend and on the second day he asked me if I'd like to be his girlfriend. And I was so shocked I said hey let's take it slow it's going too fast. He says why waste time if you feel it? It's new for me for a guy to be very in a rush to be in a relationship and though I like him I don't want to appear too easy to get. After all it's easy come easy go.

Definitely right do you think a month would be enough time? My aunt told me that it's okay to play hard to get but. It too much. My initial plan was 3 months lol. I don't feel too strongly for him yet to want him to be my boyfriend.

@Happy2BeMe Yep I'll stretch it to a month. My feeling towards him isn't really that strong but he's really nice and I want to give him a chance. I've always been drawn to men who doesn't like me too much. Lol. Recipe for disaster.

@flapiz give it a month and see what happens. You should know in a month how you feel about him.

It's good that you want to take it slow.. Why rush? If the man really loves you , then he will wait for you...

That's what I have been telling him. And he's saying he can wait but it's hurting him. And I'm like hello? We just met we need to get to know each other first. And he said we could get to know each other whilst in a relationship. He's a really sweet guy but I don't want to rush. I told him that I'm filipina in Philippines relationships aren't like instant noodles.

@flapiz That is also a way of testing him. It's good that you still stay as a real Filipina..

@Hatley The upside and downside of dating down under. Variety and cultural exchange.

He's saying that time could make us distant. And I'm saying that time will test his feelings for me. I think we have a very large cultural gap there.

There is no rush, is there? Are you ready to be exclusive?

Hey Felix I have always wanted to try be in a relationship. But it's going to be my first formal one with a label. And usually before I want that label I wait 3 months to make sure I'm in love. But this guy is too eager I don't know if it has something to do with culture or what.

@1hopefulman Just very recently. Like 2 weeks and just 2 dates. That's why I'm very skeptical about it.

The French are supposedly romantics and maybe that's why he is so eager! But I would think it's better to slow down and observe first. It would be good to establish a slow but firm and stable relationship rather than a whirlwind one which might be too fragile.

You are right in thinking it's too fast. Intentions are always questionable .... I hope you don't let him pressure you into a relationship. If you are not ready...you have every right to do as you please. Best time would only be after you guys have spent enough amount of time to just get to know each other. why commit before even knowing if it is worth your time?

Hey Girl! Yes that's exactly what I was thinking and I told him that. IT he said why waste time when we could be in a relationship and get to know each other on the process . I told him it's the commitment aspect. I want to be sure specially because it's going to be my first formal boyfriend if ever.
