After 8 dates I tell a guy that I want to be exclusive and he agrees, does he mean it or did I put him on the spot and force a yes?

I asked the guy where he sees this going and I forget what he said, I think he threw it back at me and I said I'd like to be exclusive but it is up to him and he agreed. Does he mean it or did I put him in a tough spot - he said he dated me the most out of the girls he was seeing and that he agreed to be exclusive. But I feel like I rushed things now. What do I do?

It's natural to feel uncertain or anxious after having a conversation about exclusivity with someone you're dating. However, it's important to trust that the person meant what they said and that they agreed to be exclusive because they genuinely want to be with you.

It's possible that the guy felt put on the spot or pressured to agree to exclusivity, but ultimately it's up to him to decide whether or not he wants to be in a committed relationship with you. If he agreed to be exclusive, it's likely that he is interested in pursuing a relationship with you and sees potential for a future together.

If you're feeling unsure or anxious about the situation, it's important to communicate openly and honestly with the guy. Share your thoughts and feelings with him and ask him to do the same. This can help to clarify any misunderstandings or concerns and strengthen your relationship moving forward.

Remember, there's no right or wrong timeline for defining a relationship, and it's important to do what feels right for you. If you feel like you rushed things, take some time to reflect on your feelings and discuss them with the guy. By communicating openly and honestly, you can work towards building a stronger and more fulfilling relationship together.

it only shows that men have absolutely no power in a gynocentric system. The woman calls all the shots wether the man will be exclusive with her or not is entirely the woman's decision. If he had made the first move to ask for that chances are you would have friend zoned him for being weak and making himself too available.
