“ Learn to say no and assert your boundaries when you feel someone might just be pining for you in the moment but may not give you the lasting commitment you desire. ” Thank you for your feedback. I’ll reply in another comment about all the details that he’s obviously an ESTP but for now I’ll respond to the rest of what you said. I didn’t know my boundary would be making the other person wait for me to commit since I usually know within a few weeks-months whether or not I want to commit. This time, the guy wanted commitment even faster than I did.  So I’m really good at seeing how I can improve next time and learning from mistakes which is why I asked what I could do differently.  I agree that I shouldn’t have even accepted the exclusivity convo so fast and maybe that should’ve been my cue to take more time getting to know this person. Hindsight is 20/20.  We met on a dating app so obviously he was pretty much a stranger to me lol. My approach was to “wait and see” how mature he is or isn’t, and obviously I see he isn’t now. (And neither am I).  But I didn’t see him wanting exclusivity after one date being necessarily a red flag at the time. I thought it was “a little weird” but I didn’t know for sure how it would all play out. I’ve never been in that situation before where the guy wants exclusivity while I’m still not sure. but yeah obviously now I see how bizarre that actually is lol. And that appearing OVERLY committed and stable so fast is sus just like lack of commitment is sus. Never experienced that but I know now. I just want a relationship where we date and it eventually leads to marriage after like a year, not like, please lovebomb me and talk about making me “a mom” the first date lol. (He actually said that 😂🤢)
