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

The deep feelings aren't there yet, and I'd just move on.

So do that...move on.

Again...and maybe others here with a bunch more life experience than you will back this up...but if you don't know within a few weeks AT LEAST that this is a person you could at least TRY and be exclusive with to see if it's something special than it's one of two things.

1- They're not the one
2- You're incapable of knowing the answer to #1 and therefore are no real good to anyone yet.

But really...what I asked in the last post is a genuine question...what do you want out of life? If it's just serial dating then you ought to just say that up front and be done with it. MAYBE you'll find lightening in a bottle and someone will change your mind. but if you are truly looking to eventually settle down with the right person, than someone who seems to care about you asking you to be exclusive should not be a problem...it ought to be what you'd want. There's nothing that says a few months from now if you know it's not right you can't eject...
