When two people are in a committed, exclusive relationship, its only natural and normal to tell each other where you are going and where you are, Daniels said. If you find that your significant other is being secretive with you or just evasive, the relationship probably isnt as exclusive as you thought it was.

What does it mean to be exclusive but not in a relationship?

Exclusive dating is just dating one person. That doesnt equal a relationship. It gives him all the benefits of being a boyfriend without actually having to be your boyfriend. I dated a guy exclusively for months but he was never my boyfriend.
