Quick recap of my recent life: I started university this year and I had improved a lot socially as well as pysically in the past 2 years. Problem being that you don't easily change people's view of you or others, I still had a lot of trouble not necessarily finding friends but having success with women. Because obviously, who would want to date a guy that's a nobody in the eye of many others. This year, I started at university, joined a student association and I've now been in a relationship for 2 weeks. If it helps, I'm 18 years old and she is 20 (both first years in uni so in the same stage of life regardless the difference in age).

Ltr is new to both of us, but after yesterday it was clear to me that this was actually serious. Oddly enough, I felt like I still had to 'prove' myself in the past 2 weeks, but yesterday was different in how close we were and how she opened up to her friends about it. This sudden change made me suspicious, which is why I kind of what to know how to keep going from here without ruining something I think is going well.

I want to continue the LTR (obviously) but not necessarily fast paced, since we're both virgin. Since I don't want to mess anything up, I would like some tips on how to continue in an LTR like this. What type of frame is important? An LTR feels like a 'guarantee', but is it really? Is it bad to wait too long to escalate all the way? Etc. After all, experience beats instinct imo.
