This exclusive discussion is obviously going to be different for everyone but I am just curious where you women stand. Seems like after the 2 month mark it becomes very very hard to avoid this discussion in my own personal experience.

It just depends.

My SO and I were pretty much inseperable after the first time we went out. Technically, our "second date" lasted a long weekend. But I have friends who date people more casually, for several months, and they prefer it to be casual and more open.

This is one of those things you need to communicate. There are no hard-and-fast rules.

Well, it really depends on how fast the relationship is moving forward. Last man I was with was long distance, so things moved slower. After about 10 months or so of dating, the last 3 of which included sex, I asked about being an exclusive couple. Got shot down.

But the distance dragged things out. In reality, I think we saw each other a total of about 30 days in that 10 months with "dates" on every night--So it looks like we started having sex and I asked about it around week 4 of dating (or the 21st night of dating depending on how you look at it). To me, the sex and exclusive go hand-in-hand.

i don't think there's a complete and concrete way to gauge exclusivity. personally, it can go from the first date, or date someone for months and not be interested at all.

there have been times when the guy has asked if i was exclusive after a couple months or so, and if i say no and they don't like it - well, they don't have to date me!

It really depends on the woman and how she feels about a guy and the situation. I'm no woman either but I have spoken to plenty about the idea of exclusivity. I had one woman who wanted to be exclusive after the 2nd date and she brought it up not me, but she seems like a really good woman too. However from my observation the idea of exclusivity is a tough choice for women due to the fact many are into their careers and may not have time for a relationship, also plenty of women these days are becoming casual daters and may see multiple guys at once. If she lieks one guy, be prepared for other guys to get friendzoned.

For me, it is after having sex with someone twice. At that point I will become de facto exclsuve anyway as I simply have no desire to have sex with more than one person at a time. But of course, most men don't think that way which is why I don't have sex within the first few dates.

This and your other thread are contradicting.
