If you and your boyfriend don't need explicit disambiguation, that's great! Also, I might entirely be making this up, like, in my mind. Maybe this post should be called something else, like "Justin loves to make out with girls immediately after asking them to be his official honest-to-goodness girlfriend." I'm new to this Friday post thing, so you guys are going to have to bear with me for a few weeks while it shakes out. Here at "Awkward Things I Say to Girls," we are all about facilitating communication, that's all I'm saying. Don’t feel outcasted!

I need to know my boundaries, and know what he thinks his boundaries are... but only if I actually give a crap about it becoming a real relationship. Otherwise, it's just every man for himself chaos... er something. PS - I think your second paragraph was some kind of historic grammatical event.

I've had two DTR convos and in all other situations it was just understood. To prove your point though the two DTR convos I had were basically my soon-to-be boyfriends saying "do you want to be my girlfriend?" and me saying "yeah" and then lots of making out followed. You and you're friends aren't alone in your thoughts! Too funny. I’ve had two DTR convos and in all other situations it was just understood.
