So, I met a guy on a dating app, we’ve been seeing each other for almost two months, and we text each other every day. Things seem to be going well and I really like him.

We live in neighboring states, so given that + covid, most of our dates have been virtual. When we met in-person for the first time, we got each other gifts (without knowing the other would), and overall had a great time together.
Here’s my issue: I don’t know if I should ask him to be exclusive yet. I want to be exclusive with him, but I’m assuming he’s seeing other people (which is his right to do) since he updates his profile and is logged on to the app pretty often. I usually would see other people myself during this time, but I’ve realized that I would only be doing that out of fear of getting hurt (whereas in the past, I’ve genuinely enjoyed dating multiple people at once, but now that’s changed for me for some reason).
Whenever he gets vaccinated (I already am) we decided to meet up again, but in my state. Should I wait til then to ask him to be exclusive? Could it be too soon to ask him now? I just don’t know how he feels about me— like maybe he found someone else he likes more and is just biding time with me out of boredom/wanting validation, you know? I’ve been strung along by people in the past, so I’m not sure what to think.
Any advice or insight is much appreciated!
