Why would a guy ever want to be exclusive?

Question

if you're casually dating a girl, and you both are acting "serious".. why even ask to be exclusive?

this question can also be like...

why make things serious when you have a good non commitment thing going?

i'm a nonserious girl

Answer 1

because he doesn't want you to be with other guys.

he must really like you if he speaks up about taking things more serious.

Answer 2

oh, idont know.. saying the two of you are exclusive kinda gives ownership to each other and bragging rigths.. its cute,,  is it real? Naaaa,, unless you rely mean  and are lookig to get engaged.

Answer 3

I never want to be exclusive; I plan to marry a virgin wife and have affairs too.

Answer 4

because he is thinking of the future when your just thinking about friends with benefits which is really immature.

Answer 5

Because he is nuts. I say to the women, "Have s*x. Do whatever  you want." And they do but the good thing is I don't have to listen to their nagging me all the time and we all can do what we want.

Look, if you want to play the field then do it. We have a 50% divorce rate in the country so our attitudes about marriage and love are wacked out. Somethings wrong. I have always felt that  you follow your inner signals and care little for others opinions and you'll be fine.

Answer 6

Here's some advice from a lady who has been around for a few decades. If you allow another individual the 'freedom' to be what they want, they will find themselves dissatisfied with the 'playing game.' They will head toward you. If you are too possessive and overbearing, they will go. I can promise you that they will not return. One doesn't always have to place a label on a relationship. What shall we then say to these things? If GOD be for us, WHO can be against us? - Romans 8:31  The Lord daily loadeth us with BENEFITS, even the GOD of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19   I wish for you continuous success. Peace!!!

They want their girl to be...

Answer 10

If you are a "nonserious girl" then you would have a problem with a serious relationship which is what all relationships lead to.

Answer 11

he likes you he wants you to be his in a way you know like his only girl

Answer 12

Well, that just shows how much a guy wants you...

Answer 13

Well, it depends on what you mean about serious.  

If you mean that you both artificially push the relationship unnaturally forward and change the dynamics to something more long-termm minded when you don't want it, then being serious isn't usually a good thing.  

But, it's possible to have a not serious relationship in a lot of ways, but to commit to being exclusive.  It could mean that he likes you enough to not want anybody than you at this point and he wants for you to be willing to make the same commitment.  But that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to start doing "couple" things right away.  You can still be unserious with eachother and just have fun, but only do it with eachother and not with anybody else.

Personally, I wouldn't date somebody who after a little while of dating wasn't willing to make this sort of committment.  I mean, after awhile, she'd have to have decided that she likes me enough to not feel like she could find anything better or that she needs more than just me.  

If he requires some commitment and you aren't willing to commit because you prefer a commitment free lifestyle, you may not be compatible in that way.  One of you will have to be willing to compromise your preferences or you'll have to break up.

Answer 14

He wants other people to know he's serious about you.

You should be honored, not offended.

Answer 15

is there really such a thing as a "good non commitment thing" ?

I guess you have to realize that there is more to life than fwb.

Answer 16

Perhaps he wants to make sure that you don't go out with other guys and he wants to make sure you are off limits and all his.  But it sounds like by the question that you don't want to make a commitment.  Be honest with him and let him know how you feel one way or the other.

Answer 17

Because he doesn't want you to have s*x with other guys.

Answer 18

maybe they don't want a ho

Answer 19

duh because he has morals and thinks with his brain unlike you. your not serious if your still ******* other guys

Answer 20

guy's get jealous super easy. you just gotta get him relaxed.
