So let's start at the beginning.

I think first, check in with yourself about why you want to have this conversation.

For some people who are anxiously attached, they actually rush to this conversation because they just want to lock somebody down.

And so if you are somebody like that, gut check with a friend.

We've been dating for this long.

This is what we've done together.

Just gut check that it's a good time to bring it

up.

Then you can bring it up more directly like, hey, I'm really interested in you.

I'd love to be exclusive.

How are you feeling?

Or if you need a little help, you can say, we're going to be meeting my coworkers later.

What should I call you?

You can ease into it.

Then this is a really important part that people often miss.

This is a conversation.

This is not a negotiation.

If the person gives you an answer that you don't like, it's not your job to convince them otherwise.

Let them.

You now have the information that you need to decide, okay, they want to revisit this in six months.
