Is dating a relationship?

Dating and being in a relationship are related but distinct. Dating is typically the exploratory phase without commitment. A relationship implies mutual agreement to be committed and involved in each other's lives consistently. The transition usually requires an explicit conversation. Ambiguity around what are we is one of the most common sources of anxiety in modern romantic life. Lovon can help you explore your feelings and think through how to have that conversation.
