The new guy....

Hi---

I've been dating this guy for about 6 weeks now, seeing each other once to twice a week (depending on our work schedules). We have been intimate with each other a couple of times recently. I've been out of the dating game for awhile (out of two back-to-back long term relationships) so it's all new to me again. We haven't talked about exclusivity or anything like that---should I ask or should I just see how things progress? I don't want to scare him off or freak him out by asking. I'm assuming things are going well since he's still wanting to see me and has introduced me to many of his friends when we've been out. I just hate the uncertainty in the beginning of a relationship. Any suggestions/advice??? Thanks in advance.

I'd discuss exclusivity now, as I wouldn't want to be intimate with a man who also has sex with other women. You could be exposed to STD or even AIDS. I'd say to talk to him in a time where sex is not involved.
