Can you be official without having slept together?

I am in the very early stages of dating but we do go really well together.
So I am wondering can you declare that you are official and not have slept together yet?
I am a person I don't want to sleep with someone I am not commitet to, so I would prefer it if we became boyfriend and girlfriend first, then slept together afterwards.
I know you should kinda test out if you enjoy it first, but I wouldn't be opposed to making out and other things. Just not sex.

  • Of course you can be officially dating and a couple without having sex. I do hope you enjoy holding hands, kissing and maybe some caressing.

  • Yeah I totally agree with you. And I think that you could be official even without sleeping together

  • As in intimate fiddling and no over nighters? Yes.

  • Of course

  • What? Like why not? I dont get rhe confusion. You can be official when you say you are. you can have sex and not be official

  • It becomes official when you and him agree to it.

  • I would say no

  • What do you think all the people who believe in no sex before marriage are doing? You think their relationships aren't official? Everyone does things at their own pace and this term "official" is something human made and doesn't hold much value. Do what feels right to you and call it what you will.

  • Yup, you can.

  • Yea ofc you can, I think that shows how much stronger the relationship is with the build of emotional intimacy

  • Of course. What about those who are waiting till marriage?

  • It's not 'sleeping', it's fucking. And you can call it whatever you want, it's just a label you put on it or a description of the relationship.
    What is it with you girls and how you need to label things? Consider just continuing to date and get to know in order to be able to determine if it's a match or not.

  • sure can

  • Every one is different.. In my opinion you cannot.. On that same token.. Not everyone thinks like that..

  • Yes, its all about expectation and communication

  • sure you can tell all your friends and family you're together before having had sex. i'm just not sure why you would want that.

  • Yes. My girlfriend and I became a couple on her birthday after we started dating a few months earlier. We’re coming close on our anniversary of becoming a couple and on that day I’m going to propose to her. Hopefully she says yes.

    • That's nice but 1 year is extremely short for a proposal. Be sure she already cobsiders marriage.

    • Listen, we’ve known each other for almost ten years, her grandparents kinda accepted me into the family.
