What does it mean when a guy says he doesn’t want anything too serious but is willing to be sexually exclusive? I feel like that doesn’t make any sense.

He wants to stop using condoms but it’s not going anywhere

It means he doesn’t see you as someone to have a long term relationship with but the sex is better than he is going to get anywhere else in the meantime

This is an excuse to convince you to have continuous unprotected sex with him. This is textbook case of he’s using you until he wants to move on to some other girl he can convince to do the same.

Think long and hard about this. If you never met this guy, what would YOU want in your life right now? Are you at a point where you’ve felt like you haven’t explored sex and want a stable partner to do so (studies show it’s easier for women to orgasm with a consistent partner vs one night stands) but don’t have time/want everything that comes with a full relationship commitment bc you’re focusing on other stuff in your life right now? Or do you feel like you’ve been through your share of casual sex and are looking for a full relationship because you need to start thinking about who you want to spend your life with?

You need to decided what YOU need. If you’re in the first scenario I described then it sounds like what he wants is what you and and you’re fine.

If you’re not in that first scenario then he’s not going to work for you. If you want a relationship it’s going to be difficult to be having sex with him while you’re also dating other people looking for someone who wants a relationship as you would have to either lie and not be sexually exclusive (as you get to know someone to see if you want to be in a long term relationship you’ll want to have sec before committing long term) or you’ll be truthful and scare off the new potential guy who will be extremely skeptical that you aren’t developing feelings for someone who is the only person you’re constantly having sec with (and they’d be right to be skeptical). Don’t go down this path, it’s wastes your time if you’re actually looking for a emotionally invested long term relationship.

FWB doesn't get you exclusive status with me.

FWB is only slightly less casual than a ONS, meaning not meant to be a monogamous status. Condoms mandatory.
