Question for the single guys - if you’ve been seeing someone consistently (weekly dates, being intimate, talking about the future) for 2-2.5 months, are you typically still entertaining new messages on dating apps? What’s the turning point or main factor for you getting off the apps and choosing one person to peruse things with?

100% would have deleted apps by now if I was serious, if that’s not the case, then sounds like it’s cause I’m keeping door open for other things.

30 M and I’ll echo the other guys, with one caveat though.

I will “keep my options open” if I get the feeling that you’re not as invested as I am and are still seeing other guys. Not saying that’s what’s happening in your case, OP, but it’s something to think about.

sounds like things are getting serious. Personally I would have stop responding to messages already. But that's just me!

From a woman’s perspective- the last few guys I’ve dated have asked me to be exclusive after about 6-7 weeks. I think in our age group, you know sooner whether you want to continue to pursue something

When you talk to him about this, bring it up more about what you want. Say something similar to ‘I really enjoy our time together and I would like to delete my dating app profile. What are your thoughts?’ A lot of people ask ‘what are we’ or ‘where is this going’ and I feel like it leaves things too open ended and allows the other person to weasel out of anything definitive

I tend to date one person at a time. If you want to settle down, you should be pretty willing to commit to exclusive dating within a little bit. Otherwise you are lying to yourself

What if they are the wrong people? Or they don’t want to settle down? You are wasting valuable time in the meantime. In New York finance industry, everyone builds a portfolio of multiple dates. It’s called venture capital and hedging

Hope all goes well good luck to you young lady. Let us know how it goes!!

It isn’t naive. You should be want someone who proactively chooses you. You should let have to remind them or try to convince them to prioritize the relationship.

At this point, you're owed clarity above all else, even if it's not what you want to hear. Good luck!

I was dating this guy back in summer. He deleted the app (and told me so) on 2nd date. I thought he wanted to be serious and I paused mine as well. We got intimate on the 3rd date. After the 5th date he started avoiding me and finally told me he only wanted something casual-like low commitment exclusive long term girlfriend without future. So I would not delete the app unless he showed me he was serious, like devotion of energy, time, etc, not just words.

It’s a very valid topic to bring up especially since you’re intimate and concerned about who else he may be casually intimate with

It’s scary

Easy. He needs to ask to be exclusive and I need to be happy with how often we meet each other and where the relationship is heading. That’s when I delete the app.

delete apps only after marriage
p.s. but i am a woman)

You’re probably the e most honest one here… you said what others wouldn’t
