Is three months too soon to define a relationship?

DEAR DEIDRE: IS three months too soon to define a relationship?

I’ve met this lovely guy, and while I want him to be my boyfriend, I’m worried I will scare him off.

I’m 22, he’s 24 and we met via a dating app. We’ve had an amazing few months together, and he makes me really happy.

I’ve started to fall for him, and I can honestly say that I see a future together.

The only problem is that we’ve never spoken about labels, and I don’t know where we stand.

I know I should just ask, but I’m petrified that it will ruin things. How do I broach the subject?

DEIDRE SAYS: The only person who can decide whether now is the right time is you.

If he is the one you are supposed to be with, it will work itself out.

Make sure you avoid the temptation to have a long, drawn-out conversation.

It will be easier if you are direct and clear. If he is surprised by your question, give him time to think.

I’m sending you my support pack Learning About Relationships to guide you through.
