What’s the difference between being “exclusive” and being in a “relationship”?

I guess this is up for debate, I was always under the impression that being exclusive meant only you two are seeing one another and no one else. But isn’t that what being in a relationship means? The labels? Yet being exclusive doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in a relationship with that person…

I think the differences is that being, "Exclusive" is more so an advanced version of dating where two individuals are not seeing other people and continuing moving forward towards a full relationship. When in a, "Relationship" it's being exclusive but now as Sankara mentioned with added responsibilities, now with a more bigger focus and even a goal to get married if the conditions are right.

    Exclusive can be as minimal as we are FWB but exclusive all the way up to the advanced point that you referenced.

    True. But I would think most woman wouldn't like the whole FWB deal (Some might to a degree...right up until she assumes that's all it is..) which is why in many cases they would ask that age old question, "What are we doing?" or "Where do you see this going?"

    I ain't never had a FWB who ain't want me exclusive after awhile. You hang out, treat them well, hit that shit like there's a reparations package at the bottom of it and they drop all the friends nonsense. Women ain't built for the FWB life.

    You ain't lying! you have to literally hit it like you don't know what you are doing in order for the FWB factor to still stay relevant but if you do it right they will consider it if they are talking to someone else or seeing someone else which also contributes to being a FWB.

    You gotta be in that mid ground and shit where you hit it just good enough to get her off but not so good that she hypnotized. The second you make her toes curl and her eyes roll back she gon get jealous and be singing Silk Sonic to a nigga...

    What you doing
    Where you at
    You got plans
    Don't say that

    SPOT ON!! A good friend of mine told me about his experience with one his female friend whom he's into FWB deal. Their romping got so good that she didn't want to share him with anyone else and it became a problem for them because my guy wasn't ready for full time commitment and relationship.
