When a guy asks you…?

[Anonymous]

I've been talking to this guy for a few months and we recently started going on dates. He told me that he has never had a relationship and it feels like it. Every time I have to do almost every step. Last night while we were texting, he asked me if other guys text me or if I go out with them. How should I answer him? It seems to me that we are not something exclusive, and I wanted to explore other options. He is also not communicative. How can I communicate with him without being rude?

He seems very insecure because it is his first relationship.

If you and him believe that you are not in an exclusive relstionship, then you can tell him that you have contacts with other people.

This is something that you should have dicussed before. Furthermore, you have the right to text anyone you want even if you were in an exclusive relationship.

It is a matter of trust and I feel that he does not trust you. Talk to him about it because otherwise the relationship quickly gets intoxicated.

It's important to be honest with him and communicate your feelings in a respectful way. You can tell him that while you enjoy spending time with him, you're not sure if you're ready for something exclusive yet and would like to keep your options open. It's also okay to express that you would like him to be more communicative and take more initiative in the relationship. However, it's important to be mindful of his feelings and not come across as rude or dismissive. Make sure to have an open and honest conversation, listen to his perspective, and come to a mutual understanding of where the relationship is going.

If you want to be exclusive, you need to tell him that. If he is inexperienced with relationships, it's going to particularly be obvious when it comes to communication about feelings.

That is the problem when you are dealing with an insecure male. You are in for a lot of work if you are going to make this work.

It really is a lot of work:)) Lately I don’t have that kind of energy to put up with him anymore.

But yes, you’re right. Thank you, Nikki!!🤍🫶🏻

Tell him the real answer and how you're thinking about everything
