"I really value what we have, and I want to make sure we're on the same page about being exclusive." 5. What if you don't want to say them?

If you're being pressured to say "I love you" or "I'm committed" but you aren't there yet:

You want to make (vacations, holidays) that require a confirmed status. 4. How to say it (Without the Melodrama)

Before you speak, look at the landscape. Words act as a seal, not just a feeling.

You don’t have to say the words, but realize that If you don't define the relationship or the feeling, you are leaving the door open for the other person to define it for you—or to walk through it.

"I care about you deeply, but I move a little slower with words. I want to make sure when I say it, I can fully back it up." The Bottom Line

If you’re only a few weeks in, "saying the words" (like I love you or I want to be exclusive ) might feel like pressure.

The uncertainty is causing you or making you hold back your affection.
