Is this a real thing?

The man I’m talking to right now said we are exclusive, but we are not dating.

I agreed to have sex with him, though I have yet to follow through on that offer. I have sent him nudes due to our exclusivity, however.

Should I cut my losses and move on? Would it be bad if I went back on my word about having sex with him? Or is it likely that, if I “behave” he does give me the official status?

RPW, believe me, if it wasn’t for the exclusivity, I’d run for the hills from this kind of situation..but because we are exclusive, I can’t help but think this is okay. The only thing missing is a romantic component right now.

I do fear that he will keep me around in this situation for a year or so and then leave, but on the flip side, can’t any guy do that, regardless of official relationship status?
