And if you communicate thoroughly about what it is you're looking for, like, hey, I've been having a really good time with you. I really enjoy this. But at this moment, I am looking for commitment to go things forward. That's really important to me. If that's not where you're at, I totally get that. But that's just kind of what I'm going to need to move forward. If that's not it, I totally get it.

that's a different perspective to have after, you know, 10, 12 weeks. And he's not saying he's going to marry you. He's saying, yes, I want to commit to you because commitment is on a route to like maybe something a little bit deeper than that. And so I think that's very important. I think it's important to have intentions and purpose, but I'll just understand that like, yeah,

There's a way to communicate those things that makes somebody respect it and say, yeah, that makes sense. Like some guys don't really see commitment in the way that a lot of girls do. Some guys, if they hang out with you long enough, they'll just be like, yeah, we're in a relationship. We just never talked about it. Why do we need to talk about it?

Whereas a lot of girls are like, no, we kind of need to communicate about it because I want to know. I want to feel secure that when I'm with you, you're not seeing anybody else. I'm not seeing anybody else. And the investment makes sense to me. So there's partially that.

And I think that if you communicate some of that a little more thoroughly and have some expectations so he understands where you're coming from, and if he doesn't want to, then cool, he doesn't want to. But marriage, I think, is a little bit more longer. But even just the first level of commitment.

I think the one I just kind of mentioned seems to work very well with people because it's letting them know that you don't want to last in a situationship because you're looking for other things in your life. But if that's what he's looking for, no problem. That's like a soft line that you're trying to draw because you should have some boundary here.
