Background: ended a 4Y LTR 9 months ago. Went on a dating spree, had some ONS, some fuckbuddies I saw multiple times and dropped off.

Met a girl 4 months ago, she was a virgin which I found sexy so I was patient and sex happened slowly over multiple dates. Also happened: more emotional bonding (so more difficult to cut off). Pretty interesting chick, cooks/cleans (moderately).

However, 2 months in she asked me if I wanted to be exclusive. I said no. Now, 4 months in, she asked it again. I again said 'no labels'.

I don't want to be exclusive, as I have done enough of the LTR stuff for a while.

For me it's difficult to make a decision: A. Should I make it even more clear, and set expectations? Like: yes to fun dates and sex, but no relationship title and integration into eachothers lives. Then see if she agrees? B. Just cut it off, as the talk will return. C. Something else?

Is it 'rude' to not give in and go for the exclusivity thing, or is this really just socially enforced norms? (I know it is).

Any comment, feedback or suggestions welcomed.
