this thread is silly...

guys dont spend the weekend with side chicks or women they dont like

you think stating the obvious will "scare off" a guy youve been dating and taking trips with?

it's painful and annoying when women stress over and overthink things

This sounds like a good idea. If he asks why you're asking, you can always explain that you had a bad experience with the last guy you were with, so you wanted to clarify.

OP is right to seek to define the relationship because exclusivity is never implied. To state otherwise is a reasoning fallacy. Until there is an exclusivity talk, no one is under any moral or ethical responsibility to not see anyone else. Until there is an exclusivity talk, whoever else someone is seeing is no one's business. Someone more relationship minded will tell you how to approach it, hopefully.

In the past I've taken women out on weekend trips and they assumed that we were exclusive when we were not, much to their heartbreak later on. I'd be sharing time with someone and taking her out on dates for weeks or months; and she would just assume that we were gf/bf, when nothing of that sort was said and I was casually dating multiple people with no intention to be exclusive with anyone.

I think "by text" is a terrible idea.

The next time you go out, just say something like, "Ever since we started dating, I have had so much fun. I really don't even want to go out with anyone else."

If he says, "Cool!" and leans in to kiss you, you're good. You also could then say, "What about you?"

Don't text it, because then it's like one of those grade school, "Do you like me? Check yes or no." notes.

Besides, if for SOME reason he does not get your text and doesn't answer right away, you'll be agonizing over that too.

TALK to him.

How long have you been dating?
I would ask after a month. Some guys are shocked when you ask. If they say let's just keep dating and see how it goes, break it off. They are stringing you along.

Let me guess, you "couldn't make yourself" talk to him, but you had no trouble getting naked and having sex, right?

Your "status" with him is something you should have made sure of BEFORE you had sex if having a real relationship was your goal.

Fingers crossed that he's not just looking at you now as a booty call.

You're having sex with the guy but don't know him well enough to have a casual conversation with?
