Been seeing this girl since January and everything is going great. The week of Valentines Day we exchanged gifts and she bought me some sneakers and we aren’t a real couple yet so I was surprised at her gift. Two days later she was over and I mentioned a relationship but I was shy around the subject so I dropped it
I finally got the balls and asked her to be together and her response was “are you serious”
I said yes I’m serious am I supposed to be joking about my feelings? Her response is making me think negatively ... did i do something wrong ?

    Seems to me that y’all have already been a couple.

    I didn’t properly ask her ... she goes with me to the gym and stuff but it could be friendly on her side idk

    if she got you a gift - i'd say you're good to go! esp if you've been seeing her since january. sometimes *are you serious* can be taken a few ways

    You don’t have to ask her. You’re spending your time together and not spending time with others romantic interests I assume?

    I mean, it’s cool if you wanna know for sure, I just think this may be why she responded as she did.

    At some point you might wanna bring up being exclusive with each other. She might be worrying that you've been seeing other people up till this point. Talk to her, tell her how you feel!

    Why would she think that? That’s far fetched lol

    I don't know. I don't know you and I don't know her so maybe it is far fetched from your point of view but it happens, especially in this world of internet dating where human relationships are often treated like commodities to consume and throw away. I'm speaking from experience.

    She prob thought you guys were actually together that whole time and now that you bring up being official, she's questioning what she was this whole time? Talk to her and explain to her that you're only into her and wanted to make it officially official.

    But she responded with was I serious ? I thought she was making sure i knew she is what i wanted

    Is it? Is it far fetched? Why would she think that?... because you’d rather create worry than have an adult conversation about where you stand in your 2 month relationship.

    Did she seem to be joking in a playful way with you and give you a smile when she said that or did she seem utterly confused?

    She's mad? Lol

    Why else would she say “are you serious” and not say nothing back

    She might be confused because she probably thought you guys were already a couple and your question caught her off guard. So I agree with the others above. Don't give up on her man she obviously likes you. You guys just have to have the talk. Every couple has to unless both parties think the relationship or "title of the two of you" is mutual.

    Are you sure she's gay? It could have just been a friends Valentine thing and she's shocked that you thought it was more.

    Why don’t you just ask her?!

    If you can’t communicate about little things like this, you shouldn’t be trying to have a relationship.

    If a gay friend ask you that, would you get mad or explain it to them that you're not gay?

    I’ve kissed her we’ve did “things” so I’m sure she’s gay lol

    I guess it depends how immature you are?

    I just dont see anybody getting mad for getting confused.

    Embarrassed maybe? That can come across as defensive and cross. Anyway op says they've been intimate so that's not what's going on here.

    Kind of surprised by all the comments encouraging you to just assume she thought you guys were together. Communication is key. You won't get anywhere or be able to grow together unless you communicate. For your peace of mind, you might consider talking to her again and finding out what she feels, thinks, wants. It could save you a lot of heartache later. In my opinion, her reaction raises some red flags. Best of luck to you

    It depends. What kind of sneakers did she buy you? Authentic Converse say one thing, cheap replicas, something else.

    She got me a pair of Nike Air Maxes a $110 pair of shoes
