With your current or most recent exclusive relationship how long were you dating before you became exclusive?
I was dating someone for a few weeks and we have been meeting each other's friends and spending a lot of time together and he just asked me to be exclusive. I am happy but also surprised how fast this happened.

We don't really do 'dating' in the UK like you do in the states. So exclusivity is implied from the outset of a relationship.

in every relationship ive been in, exclusivity was implied. but then again, ive never dated a stranger- meaning, ive always known the person for a while before we started seeing each other in a romantic sense. i realize thats (probably) atypical. my husband was my best friend for about a year and a half before we decided we were dating.

I've never heard of the idea of needing to ask someone to be exclusive! Maybe it's a culture thing? From my perspective if you start seeing someone that's it until you decide it's not right. There shouldn't be anyone else from day 1.
I'm not naive though - I know it doesn't always work like that, and I'm not critical of other ways, but for me that's how it should be.
Glad you seem to have found someone though. 🙂

When me and Sam got together we were a fling with no strings attached, as in we didn't agree to only see each other but he liked me more than I realised, it only seemed like we became 'exclusive' when we 'officially' decided we were boyfriend and girlfriend about 4 months later, I'd gone through a pretty bad break up before him though and was very much 'I want to be single' 'I want time on my own' blah blah blah and even now he'll say how much of an ice queen I used to be haha

When me and my boyfriend got together it was supposed to be a friends with benefits sort of thing but then we just jumped in and spent basically 2 months together everyday and at the end of that before he went away for the summer we kinda just realised we were exclusive and always had been ha.

I'm much like pastina, my husband was my best friend for a while before we were a couple and I've known him for years before that. I've never dated multiple people and I don't think that's a usual thing where I live either. So from the moment we were together/dating, we were exclusive. Same thing for my friends in relationships. 🙂

My fiancé and I basically became exclusive at the start.
