Exclusive dating can happen with or without an explicit conversation — that is a main difference between dating exclusively and being in a relationship. Sometimes, it is just assumed by the amount of time and energy you are both putting into the relationship that you are only seeing one another.

How do you know a guy is serious about a relationship?

Youll know he wants a serious relationship by the way he treats you, how much of his time hes willing to spend with you, how deep your conversations get, and whether or not he introduces you to his family and friends. But sometimes, the signs he wants you bad arent as obvious.
