6 months is a lonnnng time. If he doesn't know by then....do YOU want a relationship with him is the question....
I'm not a guy, so I can't submit to the poll, but in my experience, most men have a pretty definite clue if they want to stay or go by six months. (Add in that that's about when everyone's true colors start to show, too)
Usually you should be able to tell if you want a relationship with someone within one month. Guy or girl.
As an aside, I always find it laughable when people assume that guys and girls need to cling to stereotypes like the girls always wanting to go slower, or the guys being afraid to commit . . . take a good hard look at what's really happening in life and it will become obvious that it's individual preference that determines what people want, not gender.
I've yet to see dating according to stereotype really work.
It took my fiance from mid-October to very early January to figure out he wanted a relationship with me for sure. I'm glad he took that time to get to know me and explore his feelings. Gave me time to do the same thing.
He knows from the jump point if he wants to be in a relationship or not. He's stringing you along if it's 6 months.
I think it really depends. Six months of occasionally running into you or six months of intense phone calls and occasional dates? Because there are people who, for whatever reason, I have not in my first six months of knowing them really got to know, but then after I started getting to know them better, I considered the idea of a relationship.
But if it's six months of stringing you along, than that's all it is - stringing you along.
@moritheil@xanga - Agreed, as a girl who goes fast and can't really commit, haha.

@JessxMaxine@xanga - agreed. I think he'd know by the first month if there's the possibility of a future together.
6 months, I think that's a good period for a guy/me to know if I still want to be in the relationship.
Since usually the first 3 months is just honey moon period, so you can't really count that, because both parties are blind by LOVE and the rest. But then the next 3 months would be good to tell if he/she really wanted to be or do they think if they want to continue in the relationship.
Being that my longest relationship was 4 months - I'm afraid I cannot comment on how long it takes guys. I think it would depend on how often you see one another. Seeing someone only once a week may take you a bit longer to warm up to the idea than if you were seeing each other on a daily basis.
