A guy who is a friend of a friend and has always shown a lot of interest towards me in the past and i have always been attracted to him, but we had other partners at the time. Now we are both single and have just started dating, it has only been a couple of weeks now. Our first official date(we went out with a group of friends prior to this) went really well and we spoke about catching up again, so I was pleased about that. He said that I was a good date. We spoke about everything from families, to friends and even past relationships and dating! During the date it wasn't physical at all, but we had a lot of chemistry there. We got along great. However i found out from a close friend that he has been on 2 other dates and has kissed them since we first hooked up weeks ago. He did mention that he had been on a few dates though but i didn't think much of it. Should I think much of this or am i just being over the top? Because a part of me thinks that it is just casual and that i'm just another one of his dates and nothing more. He is 24 and has only had two girls that he has gone out with, one was a long term relationship since his high school days. So i guess i see that he's trying to play the field since he's single. I want to take it slow and hope that later on something does develop on the serious side. What signs should he be showing that suggest that maybe he sees me more as a potential partner? How many is too many and when should he stop dating other women at the stage he is with me? How long should i keep dating him for and when draw the line on being exclusive?
Thanks!

I personally prefer to date someone for about 6-8 weeks before deciding whether to date them exclusively. You want to take the time to get to know them before you foreclose other options. And I also am not comfortable with progressing to sex without a clear agreement that we are exclusive.
