You've been dating for over a year now and it's all been very good. You started out as great friends and took to being awesome at this relationship thing. You did it like the back of your hand and then there really was nothing to complain about.
Then one morning as you woke up and texted him/her, you imagined what it would be like to be with him/her forever. Then the realization struck that you were at a stage in your relationship where questions needed to be asked and some answers needed. Those that would determine where you guys were headed and what you wanted out of it.
