When do Polish girls consider it an exclusive relationship?

In the States it's not considered to be an exclusive relationship until you have "the big talk". It could be 2 weeks or six months into dating.

Someone told me that if you kiss a girl in Poland she will assume you are not dating anyone else. In the states it's assumed you are still dating/sleeping with other people unless you have the talk.

I know everyone is different, I'm asking about the general social norm.

AFAICT in Poland as a general rule physical intimacy past a kiss (unless both parties are up front about things first and/or you're a jerk) is seen as desire for an exclusive serious relationship in and of itself.

And the defining feature of a serious relationship is the idea that it will end up in marriage (not in a month or even a year but sooner or later). Of course lots of things could happen to speed up the marriage (like pregnancy) or end the relationship before marriage but that's the general cultural assumption.

With cultural expectations playing such a large role, there's no real need for "the talk" and AFAICT it doesn't exist in Poland (unless it's the anti-talk where one person explains why the relationship has no future and do you wanna go ahead and do the wild thing anyway?)

Thank you for your thoughtful response.

Do any Polish women have an opinion on this subject?

I think it really depends on the woman: her world-outlook, social background, beliefs.

Some girls think kissing is a start of an exclusive relationships, some look for chances for a one night stand in disco. It's really hard to say what the norms are for the whole of Polish society.

If you don't know what a woman assumes, thinks and what is her attitude towards the character of your relationship, the best idea is just to ask her.

check her myspace if she has it, or she'll check yours if you have it, and after a while she'll be like "so I see it says single on your myspace..." That's how it went down with my polish gf
