1. It depends how long they've been dating, and how serious it is. If it's a relationship, then he should change his status to “in a relationship” – but what defines a relationship does vary from person to person.

2. As soon as he's in a relationship!!!!

3. I've found from experience that it's always better to be completely up-front and honest with people. Some people don't like that, but that's the way I am. I have no time or patience for games. But who am I to dictate to others what they should do? Some people like “the dance.”
