Maybe this is silly, (even though I've had some successes recently, I'm still relatively new to all this stuff)

Wasn't quite sure where to post this.

On one hand, it's not quite PUA stuff since I'm thinking of what happens after you've seduced them once or twice or thrice. On the other hand, the relationships the appropriate subreddit seems to deal with involve everything that happens once you are both fairly unambiguously in a relationship.

My question has to do with the transition period.

First of all, does every relationship generally have a point where it has to be discussed? Or does one just keeping dating/hooking up with someone until you "naturally" fall into a relationship? Should I initiate the conversation (about whether or not we are supposed to be seeing other people, or what our relationship is or whatever)? Or should I just keep seeing her until she does? Should I wait until I am asked directly to discuss whether or not I am seeing other women or she is seeing other men?

Are there any huge mistakes I could make during this transitional period that could put her attraction for me in the shitter that might not be completely intuitive? What are good ways to keep her interested and looking to enter a LTR?

Yeah, never had a LTR before if it wasn't obvious. Only hook-ups, but I think I would like to try it out.
