Compared to women
Relationship milestones come in many forms.
First, you've got the 'chat' where you decide to be mutually exclusive, then there's the first person to refer to you as their girlfriend.

Then, you've got the minefield of who says 'I love you' first.
What follows after that is a series of back and forths when you stay at each other's places which can cause friction. In fact, the reasons why your partner doesn't want to sleepover may be more obvious than you think.
