Ok. Here we go again. This is the main post recreated.

It is actually about yesterday and requires a bit of background.
Boyfriend and I decided to date exclusively rather early on in our relationship. I can’t remember if he went on any dates after we met, but I had only one date: the one with the Nerd. My decision to date exclusively went as follows:
- I’m a bit burnt out on all these energy draining first dates so I don’t intend to go on any other dates, and
- I like Boyfriend enough to keep seeing him.
Now, let me make two things perfectly clear:
- I didn’t pressure Boyfriend to do the same–he initiated all of the early conversations about the relationship and I also told him that he needed to do what he felt was right. If he wasn’t ready to stop dating other women, then he shouldn’t stop. I told home that I hoped he would choose me, but I want to be with someone who wants to be with me and sometimes dating other people helps you to figure that out.
- I didn’t settle for Boyfriend. If I ever stop enjoying things on balance, I’ll end it and spend more times with the cats.
Poor neglected creatures.
