Exclusive Dating

Hi everyone - I just signed up on this site. I am a long time lurker.
I met this great guy on yahoo personels around Thanksgiving. We chatted/talked on the phone for about a month before we met in RL. We have gone out/seen each other several times. He seems to be insinuating (sp?) that we are exclusive, which is fine with me, I only like to date one man at a time and we both talked about this before.
My question is, do you actually have to have a real "discussion" about being exclusive or do you just know by actions/comments that are made.
Thank you for your advise

Actual discussion, no question about it. Don't make any assumptions--that's the best way for misunderstandings to occur and for one or both people involved to get hurt.
I also like to talk about what we each mean by "exclusive" to make sure we're on the same page--you'd be amazed at the range of behavior some people think is ok that I would not be ok with at all ;-).

Thank you both for your advise. I will definetly have that talk.
I really don't date much, but pretty much rely on OLD when I do. I have been in two different relationships that started with online dating...One lasted 4 years (lived with him for 3 years) and then the other one ghosted on me after 8 weeks of dating, but this one seems to be different for some reason, but I will bring it up with him.
Thanks you again!
