I just can't quite figure this out. She's dating him. Doesn't that make him her boyfriend?
And why would you date more than one person (this would be referring to her use of the word "exclusive"?
Because you can date several people at once.
Am I just naive for thinking that being exclusive should be a given in any relationship like that?
Yes
Am I naive for thinking that dating = boyfriend/girlfriend?
Yes
Wouldn't not being exclusive be like cheating on your partners? Whether or not they knew, that's how I would feel.
Well dating more than one person is right for some people.
I just don't understand
Its ok.
