If she's watched you pee because she entered an unlocked bathroom and you said "what's up?" instead of having an apparent conniption fit you need to either wife that lady up or get out and let someone else be her man

None of this is trad, this is the pumpkin spice latte of dating takes. 8 months? You know after 8 months. You could slice that in half and the false positive/false negative rate is still well within tolerances. Stop being pussies

Within 4 weeks — if you're *actually* seeing each other — you have a pretty good sense of what the issues are going to be. By 8 weeks your suspicions are confirmed. That's the point at which you should be issuing your provisional-but-meaningful "yes, let's try this" or your NOPE

If your provisional-but-meaningful "yes, let's try this" doesn't mean that you fully hope and expect to be putting a ring on this person by the end of the year, BZZT, wrong, that's not a "yes," that's you emotionally leasing a warm body, and it's not a good idea for either of you
