You are very welcome. You're certainly not an idiot, you're just human.

Sorry if I'm being clueless here, but for various reasons I will assume the dates you had with him included sex which I must also assume you found satisfactory if you now want to be exclusive. Maybe I'm wrong that to younger Redditors this goes without saying.

So far as I'm concerned, you are totally justified to ask him to be exclusive. The only way he could possibly decline is if he is some sort of player. I peeked at your profile, sorry, and found ample evidence there that you are a very attractive woman.

Unfortunately the kinds of dudes most likely to get matched on dating apps are that sort of player. Might be worth thinking about.

Orange soap for mechanics removes the oil completely. Just for future safety lol.

Like everyone else here including yourself have said, it depends on the person. Just talk to him in a similar fashion to how you were honest with us here. Let him know its been a while for you so your timeline gauge may be a little skewed. I am not sure what ensued from the pettiness, but hopefully you guys can work through it.

The seed has been planted

This disgusts me. Dont put that thought in my mind please.

I only started yelling and getting upset when she immediately started yelling at me when i calmly asked what the problem with it was. Shes unreasonable and controlling. Starting over wont do any good

Better to bring it up and see how they feel than be hurt in a month because he is dating other people at the same time.

You can't push it if he not feeling it.

you live, you learn. next time, broach the topic slowly and maybe try just asking "where do you see this going"

for now, see if he's open to take things slower. let him know you're really into him and respect his boundaries and hopefully he's willing to give it another try.

Best thing you can do is be real with him, tell him you realize pushed too early and that you liked what you had. Im curious about how you reacted? Was it really that bad?

Different strokes I guess. My wife and I were “exclusive” after like the third date.

Thanks I really appreciate that, especially since I can't spell to save my life. (my Grammarly keyboard fixed the word “especially” for me and it leaves Egzema alone)

I thought I was a pervert... That idea never entered my mind..

Ewwwwwwww🤣🤣

Thanks for the guffaw.

That is pretty embarrassing. Do better.

no, she only seen the vibrator sitting in my drawer and thats it

Oh no, you saved her from dating you lol. Glad she blocked a spineless fuck like you

Just be prepared that she might run away if you propose to her
