Little backstory -

Met a girl and we've been going out for 6 weeks now. I like her a lot, but the problem is she's usually tired! If we do stuff after we both get off work she never wants to stay out long because she has a set bedtime for herself. I'm more of the type that will stay up super late if I'm with good company. She seems really focused and drained from her job, but she works a desk job for 40 hours a week with no OT. She gets plenty of sleep so I'm confused as to why she's always tired.

One weekend she had to stay with her sick grandma, another she had to work a little over the weekend and didn't want to do anything. Last weekend she went to stay with her dad for fathers day. This weekend she might have to take a coworkers shift. So this week again I'm stuck seeing her once for probably 2-3 hours after work one night.

She seems really into me, but the weeks where I barely see her suck. I don't expect to be #1 in someone's life this early on, but I kind of think she could pen me in for more then 2-3 hours a week sometimes.

So on to the question! I don't really want to break it off with her since she's a cool person and we get along great, but at the same time I kind of want to see want to play the field and see if there's someone better suited for me. We haven't done anything beyond making out. When are two people considered "exclusive"?

I consider that the relationship is exclusive from the first time she asks me out.

Are you serious?

To the OP, I think it is a decision you make together. You both have to want the same thing.

She may not be compatible with you long term. You know this about her now, it wouldn't be wise to go into it thinking it will change down the road. I say keep looking.

Maybe she needs to eat a proper diet, take vitamins and get some exercise. No reason a young person should be so worn out from basically doing nothing.

Or shes worn out because shes seeing other guys, also hence the time away a lot.

Yep. From the first date, I present to her someone who isn't seeing anyone else. And wouldn't do so. Totally opposed to "cheating" and don't believe in FWB types of deals.

exclusive when both people agree that it is exclusive...there is one exception though, most women will implicitly believe that the relationship is exclusive when you sleep with them.

You're too funny.

And to answer the OP: Never. It seems.

You have to take the person's word for it though. So you never know.

Let me apologize first if I am incorrect, but from what you say, I think she is not really into you....my suggestion is Do go out on other dates, never know what is out there for you
