Basically what I want to ask and get advice about is when to know or how to take it to the next level with a girl I'm seeing? I've been on a few dates with this girl, we've hung out and talked for the past 2 months. We have hooked up before and her friends tell me all the time how she is interested in me. I get bombarded all the time with "Are you two a couple?" One of her friends even asked me about if I'm gonna ask her out. Obv. each situation and girl is different but what do you some of you think I should go about this and how did you guys get your girl? Did you ask her or did it just happen naturally? Odo I keep playing the game a lil longer? This is one of the few things I need advice on. thx

Bro, just say you enjoy spending time with her, and you want to make it official by her becoming your girlfriend. Then wait for her reply. Don't ask her: so are we bf and gf? :S :$

I think that the next level is something implied by the ways thing progress.
But if you feel it in the air and still need to know for sure,
what i did with my Ex was this :

Me : "You know that we're boyfriend and girlfriend right?" (not as a question but as raising a fact and letting her know it"
Her : Oh really? cool...
we kissed and thats it.

hope this helped
