If you don’t know you are in a relationship, then I am here to tell you about some certain signs that you can use to gauge your current state of existence. I guess, I should not be so harsh on you, but I am almost sure that most people reading this article are males.

Women can smell a relationship a mile away. They will know as soon as they are dating when and where the change to “serious” relationship will occur. So most of you are men! That’s fine! I have been there myself. We are not taught how to read relationships.

We are not nurturing or intuitive by nature. Now, don’t be scared guys. This can actually be pleasant. Contrary to what you might have read or heard, being in a relationship does not mean you become a housecat. So go ahead and read on about the common signs that you may already be in a relationship and not even know it. Kind of like getting your tooth pulled out with anesthesia. “Doctor, is it done yet. Of yeah, I pulled it 5 minutes ago.

  1. The biggest clue that you could possibly get is if you have started talking about your future together. Now, by this I don’t mean that you have began picking the flowers for the guests at your wedding but that you have planning certain things even if they are not planned in any seriousness or specificity. If you know how many children your significant other wants regardless of whether they plan to have those kids with you, this means that your relationship is evolving.
  2. Have you met the friends yet? Well, for some people meeting friends happens on the second dates while for some others it may take years. If you have met the friends already and your girlfriend/boyfriend wants to introduce you to the parents then your relationship has moved past casual dating. Some people might be over enthusiastic in introducing their partners to family.
  3. Are you moving past everyday stuff? If you have started talking about a vacation that is months in advance that means that you perceive some sort of stability in the relationship. That means that you have “taken off” and now are comfortably cruising at a reasonable altitude. Keep flying high! I hope you never come down. Stay in love forever. It is literally the only thing we have in this life
