Nerve Dating Confessions
April 25, 11:53AM We're really into each other, but his online profile is still up and active. I'm with him for 3-4 consecutive days in a row, and his phone barely makes a sound. i know he's not seeing anyone else. We have not had the exclusivity convo; but things are awesome. Do guys keep their profile up even though they're dating someone they really like, just for an ego boost? #needadvice CAN RELATE (2) CAN'T RELATE (0) FLAG FOR ABUSE

*consecutive days in a row* sorry for redundancy.

Yes I think they do. But, if you haven't gone exclusive, you should not assume you are. He might be keeping his options open. When you become exclusive, it is perfectly valid to discuss this with him, and request he take his profile down.

Guys don't run to the computer to change their profile every time a girl smiles at them. Girls are too possessive and think that any guy they date becomes their territory, and expect the guy to carry around a sign saying that he's taken. Guys are more realistic

Here's a crazy idea...HAVE THE CONVERSATION WITH HIM!

Im not asking him to be exclusive. And I'm never checking up on him again. It was a moment of weakness and i regret it. Im just going to keep having fun with him, and enjoying his company. What we have is amazing, and if he can find better than more power to him. And if not, like I'm hoping, then he'll take it down when he's ready.

@op don't mistake something that is amazing for you with something that is amazing for him. In many relationships the woman also gets attention, support, affection, entertainment, and the guy only gets some sex, and when she is in the mood. His view of your relationship may be very different from yours. If he sees his relationship to you as primarily he keeps you happy and all he gets is some sex, he may well want to keep looking for someone better or someone sexier.
