re: Had this girl I'm dating drop the E bomb (exclusive) on me

Why do women feel the need to say this? Let's just keep dating and see what happens. Why put pressure on me to commit to only you after dating for less than a month?

Maybe this is just experience talking, but you're in for an absolutely miserable, lonely life if you're for real with this. Assuming any of this story is true, something has kept you hanging out with this girl for a few weeks...right? Whatever that is ought to be enough to keep you around exclusively for a few more to see if it's worth pursuing...right?

Or are you simply so in demand that you can't risk not shopping around some more for a month or so to see if there's something legit there?

Of course...this all depends on your end goal for your life, obviously. If the goal is simply to stick your cock into as many new openings as possible, than congrats...you're on your way. If the goal is to find someone with whom you can share a life, you're doing it incredibly wrong. My guess is you're either late teens or very early 20's, right? There is NO HARM in being exclusive with a girl you seem to like for a little while to see if it's worth really pursuing. If you really do think there IS something wrong with it, you're not ready to be exclusive with anyone and you're a giant a-hole for not straight up telling girls that they have NO SHOT at being anything other than your frick buddy from the get-go.
