Exclusive relationship

when both people want to be exclusive and agree to it.

agree by doing what? When a man says you are my girlfriend does it means he wants to be exclusive?

gaze,


In my opinion exclusivity is not about mere words or signing of a document rather it is based on trust and a deep connection which goes way beyond physical . Establishing trust on both sides takes time and sometimes it just never happens but whatever the case both parties should feel the same level of comfort with that move onto to the next level of their relationship and should also be honest with themselves.

gaze,

Words can have so many different meanings to different people. when a man says that you are his girlfriend ...he has not said specifically that he wants to be exclusive right? So I would take as just that. when and if he is clear then I would take it more seriously.

When that becomes the normal progression, you realy should not have a need to ask ! . . .

A good way to make a decision is also to ask yourself if the fact that you would call him your "boyfriend" would then lead him to become exclusive with you.

Everyone is different but You do not want to jump into something that may be only one sided. Clarity is important.

100% with Frank on this one.

BUT if its dubts (hopefully not; actually the more that just goes witout saying the better) i say:
talk,communicate,make it clear.
Like a verbal contract.

"agree by doing what?"

Agree by stating such.
Both people SAYING that they want to be exclusive and both agreeing to it.

" When a man says you are my girlfriend does it means he wants to be exclusive?"

I'm not sure. You might be one of several. Ask him, not us.

It clearly states, on line 57, paragraph 4, document 7219ABC, in bold print...monogamy = us having a physical relationship!!! ALWAYS read the small print!!!

Jim, your opinion is helpful..

talk. communication is all it takes. if you cant talk about your relationship maybe its not meant to be. You should feel comfortable talking about everything with your partner or maybe its just me whos like this.

i can not answer for anyone but myself as to why they do that

If thay can not look u in the eye and say what u need to hear, take your feet on your neck and run.

If thay say what u need to hear, but your stomachfeeling tells u that sth is wrong, run also. I have learned that my stomach tells me all.

Partners become “exclusive” when one of two things happens…. Firstly when they are emotionally involved meeting on a regular basis (at least once or twice per week) spending time doing things together enjoying each others company, secondly if they start living together.
Lana makes a point that if a man says you are his girlfriend it simply means you a girl that is a friend of his, he may feel that you are both free to do and see who you chose as neither of you is committed to the other

Gaze..I wont be exclusive with a man untill I see the love in his eyes when he looks at me AND he says it with all honesty..I would also have to meet his family, friends, coworkers and see he isnt looking online for other women.
The last thing he would need to do is show me he is a good man, treats me nice and says he wants us to be exclusive..
I would say after dating a few months if all this happens then it should go fine..

Dear Gaze9 How are you?

Yes it is hard to understand people nowadays.Firstly You must let time to settle your relations status it is normal or Exclusive.You can understand this relation type by letting time.Ofcourse You can udnerstand from the man acroos you.If he really feels excited when he is talking with you or if he always care about you.Than you can understand that He loves you.Than You can say that Your relation is Exclusive.But be aware that Exclusive relaitons can also be finished after some time finished.

I advise you to be calm, cool, comfortable and relax in your relation.I wish You Good Luck.
