Long story short, this woman has been 'acting' like my woman since early October which is fine. We've pretty much been doing the following

  • Dates
  • Coming to my apartment
  • Brought me gifts for my place
  • Telling her friends she's "into me"
  • Introducing me to her friends
  • Introduced her to my friends
  • Having sex... 2-3 times a week
  • Weekend trips (1-2 days tops)

I have no problem with how things have panned out, but things took a turn last night.

While we planned a trip to ATL to visit a few friends of mine, she started talking about how her mom had reservations about me. I suggested she could meet me if she wanted, but she said (paraphrasing here) "I don't want to bring someone around who isn't my boyfriend around my family."

This was when I asked her "would you be mad if I went out on a date with someone tomorrow?" and she said "hell yes..."

This woman wants to keep me around, which is fine, but she sounds like she doesn't want a relationship. The problem here is, if we want to just have sex, should we explicitly state this, or allow things to keep going at its current pace.

You guys before have said, only the woman will know when she wants to commit -- and I haven't asked for a relationship.

But the idea of me staying committed to someone in theory sounds outlandish to me. I am considering seeing other people because she really doesn't know what she wants.

TL;DR -- Woman doesn't want a relationship, but doesn't want us seeing other people
