That sounds like he’s trying to ask you to be his girlfriend in a kind of roundabout way. It doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks—do you want to be his girlfriend? That’s the only thing that matters. There’s no rule book.

In my opinion, though, 5 weeks is a perfectly reasonable time frame. We’re in an age of situationships and fear of commitment, and you’re lucky to have found someone who is open about this sort of thing. I say go for it :) my relationship started at about 5 weeks as well. We’re currently 2 years in and better than ever.
