[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have the two of you discussed how you want to label yourselves? If not, I can understand why he didn’t want to be presumptuous and call you his GF. Use your words and talk to him.[/quote]

We have discussed it before and didn’t see eye to eye. He thinks boyfriend/girlfriend is some HUGE title. He see it the way I see being engaged. The day to day of our relationship is very good. We act like a couple and as far as I can tell (and from his words) he isn’t seeing anyone else. I guess I just have to deal with this “friend” thing. But for me it’s annoying. Titles are a form of respect in my eyes. An even though our relationship emotionally progresses there is a part of me that has a hard time taking him seriously as a potential partner because he keeps calling me his friend.[/quote]

You should have mentioned this in your first post, OP. It's so irritating when people do this - it changes the entire tenor of the issue. This is a big problem. He doesn't want to commit, even with words. [/quote]

OP, you should have told us this to begin with. The problem was apparent before you met his friends and were introduced as a "friend" and so you shouldn't have been surprised in the least with how he introduced you. As far as he is concerned you aren't a couple, and you know that and apparently have put up with it. Yes, "girlfriend" or any title denoting commitment is about respect, but he isn't giving that to you (yet?). He either doesn't want to commit yet, or doesn't want to commit to you. Frankly given that it's been 6 mos, I don't see this changing. When men are smitten, they tend to want to lock it down. But hang out and see if things change if you are that into him. [/quote]
