“Simply put, dating exclusively means both people are only focused on one another. Theyre not juggling other people,” Concepcion says. Your goal is to be committed to each other in a monogamous relationship, but you still have to test drive things out a bit longer.

What is exclusivity in a relationship?

An exclusive relationship means you and your partner are not dating other people. You cease dating activity with others to focus on building a relationship with one person. There are activities you did while dating; you should no longer be doing, such as using dating apps or sending messages to many others you dated.
