She mentioned wanting to have "the talk" with him but then she says she doesn't want to be the one who brings it up and if he wants a relationship he would make that known to her. But if she's feeling insecure about the relationship then to me she should just have a candid talk to see if they're on the same page. I mean why wait for him to bring it up, hec he may be waiting for her to express her feelings, who knows and her dating other guys is not going to change anything if its him she really wants to be with.
People who don't know how to effectively communicate their needs and desires are too immature for a serious relationship.
If she is dating others he needs to be aware of it.
Not that she wants to be bragging and giving out too much info, but she needs to be sure he knows she's not always available to him BECAUSE she is dating other people. It's not fair to let him go on thinking he's the only one in the picture.
I agree with you, Mountain to a certain point. I still think you need to tell the other person that you're still on the market and still dating others.

That's just being silly and immature on her part. Good grief, just talk with the guy and see where the relationship stands. Why do people have to make things so difficult?
At least as I grew up when a person was dating multiple people be it man or woman there was the assumption that this implied the dating was strictly casual or in other words at that point there was no real interest or investment and both parties were free from any obligation with each other. I dont really know when but at some point in there when things have become serious there is the assumption that the dating will become exclusive even if the words had not yet been spoken. To me if I had reached that point and the woman I was sparkin was still dating other people I would be thinking we were not on the same page and acting accordingly.

Actually, we are in complete agreement, as I have already said too that she's needs to make sure the guy knows she is dating others

Assumptions can be a dangerous thing when it comes to matters of the heart. He may be assuming that they are exclusive and has no idea that she is anxious about their relationship status.

Maybe because when women are always the ones to bring up "relationship talks" and want to know "where things stand" men feel pressured, put on the spot, and see an ultimatum in their future.
It's always better, in my opinion, for the man to be the one to bring up his desire for exclusivity and commitment. Otherwise it feels like the women forced his hand, or that the woman is put in the role of pursuer. That never feels good.
