Between a man and a woman, some people think that a few ambiguous words, a few meals together, and some seemingly intimate behaviors confirm the relationship.

One friend believed this. When a man frequently sought her out, asked her out for meals and movies, and even touched her hand intentionally or unintentionally, she began to believe that they were in a relationship.

She was determined to cherish this relationship, but one day, the man publicly announced that he already had a girlfriend.

She was angry and heartbroken. When she confronted him, she realized that he had never admitted to anything.

In this day and age, many people think that even if they are not officially in a relationship, they can still go on dates. But just because someone makes plans with you doesn’t mean much.

So, most of the time, if the other person has never acknowledged you, you really shouldn’t overthink it.

A true confirmation of a relationship involves more specific behaviors than just having pleasant conversations and meeting a few times.

When the Time is Right, One Party Confesses Sincerely.

You often hear people say that someone they just met claims to have decided to date and marry them.

In these cases, it might seem like love at first sight, but in reality, they just don’t want to invest too much time, effort, or even money. They want to cast a wide net and settle things quickly.

If someone says they like you in this way, you shouldn’t take it seriously. That kind of “love” doesn’t count as love, let alone a relationship.

Love should begin with mutual recognition and a period of getting to know each other. After a while, if both feel good about each other, that’s the person they want to be with.

Then, one day, when you both understand each other enough and like each other, one of you directly confesses and asks the other to be their partner, officially becoming boyfriend and girlfriend and starting a relationship.

Only when one person sincerely confesses their love for you and you accept it, should you believe that they truly love you.

Otherwise, all the unspoken feelings and actions that haven’t officially acknowledged you as their partner don’t count.

Because there are indeed people who are not in love with you but still act ambiguously and even do things that only couples would do.

When One Confesses, the Other Accepts.

If one person confesses their feelings, and the other does not clearly accept, whether by rejection, ambiguity, or no response, they are not yet in a relationship.

When one person confesses, the other should give a clear response. However, sometimes you might not be entirely sure about the other person and have concerns.

If you don’t clearly accept, your relationship remains in the stage of not being official.

A relationship involves both people, and it’s not just about one person expressing their feelings and the other automatically becoming theirs.

One person should express their feelings and the other should clearly accept, agreeing to be in a relationship. Only then is the relationship truly confirmed.

At this point, you can start enjoying each other’s company more and feel less distant.

At the same time, along with the rights, you should also fulfill your obligations to each other, like not getting too close to other people and maintaining loyalty to each other.

Next, you become the person for each other and start planning your future together.

Dating involves a process, and confirming a relationship requires clear communication.

Without a clear confirmation, if you think the other person is serious, they may still feel they have room to maneuver.

In that case, even if they are close to others or develop feelings for someone else, you really can’t say anything because they never clearly stated what you are to them and what they are to you.

This kind of relationship will only make you feel wronged without a reason for them to explain.

Honestly, in relationships, you should take things seriously but not be too presumptuous.

If the other person has not clearly acknowledged you or let others know about you, you should not take it too seriously. Otherwise, in the end, you will be the one who gets hurt.

Loving someone requires genuine feelings, but you also need to know how to protect yourself and not give your true feelings to the wrong person.
