I've been seeing a woman for 2 months. We have shared some good times together and all seems well. She does not want an exclusive relationship and she told me that from the start. I was fine with such feelings 2 months ago. However, the more time I spend with her the more my feelings rise. I just don’t know how we can build any foundation without being exclusive at least for time being. I often think she does not know what she wants out of life or in my case, a relationship. Further, I often find myself wondering If I should walk away from her albeit her interest in me. Any thoughts?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Should I walk?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Dude...she made it clear..VERY clear that she did not want an an exclusive relationship.
And what do you do? You fall in love with her.
How could that be possible? Well...because you treated the relationship as exclusive and NOT like the FWB it was supposed to be.
If you would have followed the agreement...the one falling in love would have been you.
Another thing..."I often think she does not know what she wants out of life " - Who cares? The important thing is understanding what YOU want out of life.

I agree.Blusher said:Obviously, you two seem to disagree on a crucial aspect of your relationship.
If you wanted her to be your FB, then fine, but from what i read that is not the case.
You want an exclusive relationship, she doesn't. Respect yourself, stand up for what you think is right and break up with her.
There are girls out there who want an exclusive relationship. Why stay with one that doesn't?
If she (your feelings for her) is preventing you from getting what you want (an exclusive gf) then yes, walk.
If not then use her for sex BUT you don't owe her anything and you should proceed on your terms not her's.
Don't try to change her or win her. This will only make you look needy and desparate in her eyes and she will end up liking you less.

One: You have oneitis.
Two: She's not the only gal you can have strong feelings for.
Three: Date as many as you can and let the cream rise to the top.
Four: While you're dating others, be seen by the current flakey gal so she knows you're the prize, not her.
Trust me, that's the pattern you should take, whether you're 20 or 40.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
That's some B.S. she is using to make you believe that crap. What in REALLITY is happening is this: (see quote below)She is actually a single mom and is afraid to be hurt again.
