One of the most "in" things nowadays in the dating arena is getting exclusive. What exactly does that mean? Well, in exclusive dating, two people who are not yet in a formal romantic relationship date each other constantly or over a period of time. It is as simple as that.
Actually, this concept has been around even in the
early decades, around the 70's and 80's, but of course, the term they used back then was different. If I am not mistaken, I think it is "going steady." Two people who are looking for the right date, but are not ready to settle yet and be confined in a relationship can choose to go out and
see one another, without any other dates in between. The same principle is applied in exclusive dating.
While others may consider
exclusive dating as a nuisance, dating exclusively could be advantageous for both you and your partner. For one, this method of dating guarantees no commitment to a relationship and no hassles. You can see your partner each time you are available, but you won't feel restricted in the way you experience in a normal boy-girl relationship. You can have some time to think about the future of your relationship without being pressured or obligated into entering one, especially if you just came from a bad break-up.
