What are everyone's thoughts on being exclusive, but explicitly not in a relationship?

Posted

I have no idea what that means. If you're not in a relationship, how can you be exclusive?

not seeing anyone else, but not calling each other boyfriend/girlfriend, not being "together" officially.

That wouldn't last long for me personally. In fact, I would make a point not to be exclusive and be up-front about that fact. If he wants exclusivity, all he has to do is ask.

Is that like not being married to anyone else but not calling each other husband or wife? I'd say someone wants to keep his options open.

I'm in that position now, I am not his "girlfriend" but we are exclusively dating... I'm fine with it for now because everything is so new.

Either he/she wants to be in a relationship or does not --there is no half-ways unless you're the type to stay oblivious to the fact that they are just not that into you enough to "date you."

 

This is coming from my own experience.

 

This is what is called keeping your options open...People know when they found exactly what they are looking for; Until then, it can be chalked up to this type of casualness that usually ends up in one or the other getting hurt.

Tread lightly and put a timeline on a end point where you need to walk away if nothing changes. I gave mine three weeks after the talk....nothing changed and now I am free again to find a more serious minded match. Good luck!
