Oh I hit Smoothie King a few times a week. I just thought you might need more than a smoothie. Therefore I suggested Tropical Smoothie so you can get some delicious food with that smoothie! I guess another day and another time we can hit a Smoothie King for that Smoothie Date!

wisebeardman's random post make me laugh so much lol.
OP: i didn't consider myself a couple with my boyfriend until he asked me if wanted to be exclusive. even before that, he and i talked about spending more time together because up to that point, we texted frequently, talked on the phone a lot, but only spent time in person a couple of times.

I feel you should have the DTR talk before you're officially a couple. The question is when is it appropriate to have the talk....after speding time with the person for 1,2 or 3 months?! My friend and I had a little disagreemet about the talk. I feel 2 people need to be on the same page. You need to know if this is just a friendship, or more than a friendship. The talk should take place after 2 months, by then you have an idea if the person is going to be just a friend or more than a friend. My friend believes a couple should have the talk when the timing is right and it should not be something rehearsed. My friend have been seeing someone since Nov and they still have not had the talk. I feel his way of thinking will backfire on him.
Speaking from rom my own experience, I did start seeing someone 2 years ago and after 4 month I told him I couldn't hang out and see him and asked him not to text or call me. I waited long enough and since he couldn't make up his mind, I did it for us.

Well, for the Christians here in Brazil, we pray for a good meeting, that God will guide us in the choices.
Usually when we left with someone already in a interresse, if not always exited accompanied by friends.
And when they start dating is when either of them is declared, if the other match the feeling then begin dating, if not become friends.
My experience: I met my husband in 2004 in church, we are part of the same group of young people participated in the 2005 Christmas play and saw each other almost every day, one day he asked for my phone, and exchanged messages.
On Christmas eve 2005 he asked me in dating, in 2007 we got engaged, got married in 2009.

Bingo.
I've always made it "official" by giving her a mizpah and verbally communicated that I was pursuing her exclusively.
Ok honestly I think two people become a couple when they both agree to see each other exclusively, but then there's a small technical stipulation in which two people are temporarily considered "a couple" by their immediate company when they are out on a date together even if the relationship isn't exclusive... but in that case the state of being 'a couple' only lasts until the date is over.

I guess the word is 'exclusive' now --- it used to be called "going steady"...
And, yes - that is when you are considered a couple.

Funny, I also thought you were a couple when you got married. Because that is when there is no turning back.
Of course, I have been married so long, I don't honestly remember what it is like to be single or dating, so don't listen to me!

I knew him for a couple months before he had the courage to ask me on a date, but a week after the date (and we hung out every night that week), I found myself talking to him about what we needed in our kitchen when we were married. He answered.
Then I had to ask "Did you ever ask me to marry you?"
"No, but you brought it up two days ago. It freaked me out. I went home, thought about it, and decided it was a good idea."
Soooo, what talk was that again? I missed it.
