10 Reasons Women Should Not Claim A Man Before The One Year Mark

Avoid Friend Conflict

Whether we like it or not, when we get into a relationship, our friends are invested in the relationship too. Suddenly any little hiccup you all go through becomes the talk of girl’s night. While our friends mean well, sometimes they can inflate your growing pains into a bigger issue than it is–thus creating the friendship/relationship clusterf*ck. You have to ride the drama on both ends, with him AND with them.

Of course, tell your girls what’s going on; they are more likely than not our greatest advocate and supporters. But if you hold off on claiming him as “your man or whatever,” they will probably give him more slack as someone you are just dating, versus putting forever expectations on a new dip.
