There is a right way and a wrong way to handle someone who you want to be serious with who hasn’t shown interest in being serious with you. If you handle it poorly you could get dumped or even worse you could waste your precious time. If you handle it well you could get a commitment. In this 45 second video I share the best way to bring up exclusivity with someone you’ve been dating a while. Then, let’s discuss!
So, what do you think? Have you ever brought up the conversation about being exclusive with the person you were dating? What did you say? How long were you dating before you brought up the topic? How did it work out? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below. Let’s open up the conversation and get real with each other. Also, if you like this dating advice video please share it with the single ladies and single guys you know!
I always find it really difficult and uncomfortable bringing up being exclusive and I love what you had to say, thanks!
Grace, I’m happy you found the video helpful and thank you for sharing your kind words.
Isn’t being exclusive just assumed after a while? Do I really need to have a “conversation” about it?
Jonathan, I agree that some people may just assume you’re exclusive after dating a while. But we all have seen what happens when relationships are based on assumptions. You don’t have to make it into a big “conversation” but you could just say something like, “I wanted to let you know that I don’t want to date anyone else,” and then see how they respond. Keep me posted!
