If you are exclusive you only date each other but you haven't announced any relationship yet. Being official means you are openly a couple and other people refer to you two as a couple.
I would think they have no other options at the moment, but will jump out of the "situationship" as soon as something better comes along. So, by not putting any labels they'll avoid the awkward 'break up' conversation.

I’m totally option A.
If I’m being cut off of other dating options, we better be official & not some dirty little secret.
Guys in the millennial category tend to play this bs I never hear it from youngrr guys or older
Get off the fence. Regardless of this PC terminology, you can't have it both ways, Either your committed to someone else, or you aren't.
its over labeling and over complicating. eityer your together with what ever type of relationship you agreed to or not. (monogamas, open, etc)
its a total oxymoron. if you are exclusive you ARE official
For a relationship I consider the term synonyms. I don't consider myself exclusive till we are official. If we are official, we are exclusive.
@liam_hayden good point, but if you are exclusive, are you official?

You're probably right. Which, if true, is highly annoying. People are such cowards these days.
I'm all for taking things slow when it comes to starting an official relationship. But 100% exclusivity will start with the relationship, not before.
Only sleeping with that one exclusive person but not letting anyone know that it's even a thing. Mutual communication understanding is key.
I did that when I was teenager cause I was ashamed of them in public but now looking at it, I don’t regret it was cool but it’s better to be official.
It sounds like games being played. If we're going to be exclusive then we're also going to make it official. That's the whole point.
It means your partner is ashamed to be with you, an ass clown or both.
C. Its a polite way of saying he/she is having sex with other people.
It's annoying and confusing. I'm still trying to figure it out. Complex naval navigation.
If your exclusive your in a relationship weather you admit it or not
If you're exclusively dating then you're together no questions
Either you're with someone, or you're not. Simple as that.
WFT it mean then waiting for “something better” to come Along.
I’d say those two go together. If not, it’s secret?
