So nervous... (off topic -- dating!)
Yeah as a dude if he is spending a lot of time with you then he is into you and may just not how to ask. So be direct. Us men are usually okay with that. My wife said you can ask me to be your girlfriend on such and such date. I ignored the date and asked her before that. It to me sounds like is he really into you.
Stacey, I am really happy for you! Go all in . . . if he's bringing the puppy over then sounds like a done deal to me! You do like puppies right? Even if they have an accident on your favorite rug? My husband doesn't like dogs and I didn't find that out until after we were married. It has been a big problem for us . . . Who doesn't like dogs?????!!!!!????? Talk about a red flag but a little too late. :-(
Thank you guys! Yeah I think he is really into me too, its just scary. I have had a few bad experiences with men since my upgrade to my new body. I have kind of stepped back and have been taking things slower than usual b/c of that with Alec and it seems to be working out well.
I'll let you guys know how it goes :)
The last time the exclusivity thing came up for me was when I was dating my husband. We were sitting on my couch one night, reading together (still a favorite leisure activity for us), and I said (because WHOA was I feeling bold), "Just so you know, I'm not seeing anyone else." And he said, "me either." and that was that. I really wasn't expecting that from him, and I would have been fine if he hadn't said anything...but it brought it up fairly casually, and let him know where I stood without having to have anything anywhere near A TALK. :)
Good luck!!
Personally, I think men like to think they are in charge and would wait for him to bring it up. It sounds like he is really into you, which is wonderful. I bet he would bring up the subject soon if you don't. I think we women tend to over-think things too much.

I very much over think things. I do agree men typically do like to be in charge of these things. I think he is a bit nervous -- I had to initiate the first kiss. He just needed a nudge and it was good.
IDK -- I just know that I don't want to be accepting other dates right now. BUT I do not want to be turning them down if he isn't in the same spot with me. We will see.
