Hi everybody. Thanks again for tuning into my podcast. Today we're going to be talking about how to go from dating to exclusive, when and how to have the talk or the exclusivity talk about where this is going

and exactly what you should do and how you should do it. And I'm going to give you a few

tips on how to navigate that tricky in-between transition from when you're just dating to

when you actually start to like a guy and you want to

take things to the next level with him and be in an exclusive, committed relationship.

So I'll start by saying there's a plan A, a plan B, and a plan C. In plan A, he's going to be

asking you to be his girlfriend. He's going to be initiating that conversation with you. And this is what we're always aiming for. Okay, so that's plan A. And I'm going to talk more about what goes into that. Plan B is when things are actually going really well with you guys and you've been dating for a while. You're compatible. You're having fun. He's putting a lot of effort

and investment into your relationship together, but he hasn't initiated the talk, and you're not

just wanting to continue dating him without a commitment and without being exclusive.

So in this plan, you're going to bring up the talk about being exclusive.

Plan C is when a guy was really interested in you and he was investing a lot, but you never

got to being exclusive.

And for some reason, he slowly started to become less interested.

And so we're going to talk about how to reignite that if he is actually a

great guy and you are compatible and how to bring it back to plan A. So before we get into the

different plans, I just want to clarify that I call them plans because I think it's funny,

but also just because it makes it simpler for you to listen to

this podcast and follow along what I'm talking about. And so it's just a way for me to break down

some patterns for people when they're going from dating to exclusive. And none of what you're

about to hear has anything to do with playing a game. Actually, plan A,

which is where he initiates the talk about you being his girlfriend, is what naturally occurs

when you make decisions that show that you value yourself. And so it's actually as simple as that,
