Should I expect commitment after 3 months of dating?

I have been dating someone for 3 months. It's going well and we meet up every weekend during this time and yes we are sleeping together. I have asked where he sees it going and he said its too early for him to call me his girlfriend although he does see it progressing to a relationship. He has also said he would like me to loose weight and get to know me a bit more before being 100% happy being his girlfriend. I am trying to loose weight for myself but am struggling. I feel a little deflated and not sure where to go from here, as I'm starting to feel like it's me who makes more effort with good morning texts and travelling to see him weekly. What would you do? I like him a lot and don't want id to end but don't know if I'm completely happy carrying on much longer in limbo. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi OP I can only echo what others have said after 3 months and he says he says you are not his girlfriend, what a cheek.
There is only one thing to dump and run.
Plenty more fish in the sea.
Good luck.

Did you suddenly put on a massive amount of weight after you met him? If not, he knew your size from the start so why on earth does he think he has the right to comment on it now?

As for the "girlfriend" thing, after 3 months I was still "friend" to my ex. After 8 months the birthday card he got me wasn't one for a girlfriend/partner/"one I love". After 10 months I'd finally had enough and ended the relationship. He wasn't fussed. Don't make my mistake.

No. This is how he met me.

Why are you bothered about getting revenge? Lose weight for you not to show a twat what he lost.

Don't let this loser keep living rent free in your head

Get fit for yourself so you feel good. You are worth so much more than that bloke.

Definitely keep up with the running - it is excellent for your physical and mental health. Also a great way to work off irritation with entitled little shit-bags.

What a nerve the guy has! I am already feeling sorry for his next shag. I hope she sees through him as rapidly.

Like pps, in my dating days exclusive was really important to me from pretty much as soon as we started sleeping together. If they didn't want that too, I didn't want them, quite frankly.
