Online dating and I'm annoyed with myself!

Just that really. I've been dating this man, only for a month or so but things seemed to be going really well.
He suddenly withdrew so I asked him outright what was going on. He told me he thought I wanted more than him. I was slightly annoyed as I didn't think I'd given this impression, quite the opposite infact. I thought he was more into me.
Anyway, he says he still wants to go out but I see he's still active on the site we met on so he's probably dating others. I don't know how I feel about this and whether I should actually ask if he's dating other women?
Has anyone ever had the same dilemma. My gut instinct right now is to walk away because I feel I deserve better.
What is it with these men?

Why are you playing games like some teenager? Tell him what you want and if he's not it, move on.

housewife hope you don't mind but I'm going to take these tips and use them myself! I'm brand new to OLD too - got 3 dates this week - 2 I'm almost certain wont go further from my perspective but Id like to be surprised. The other one sounds lots of fun but seems to be a bit over invested already - I'm just waiting for him to back off completely!
Good luck !

Chin him off. When you meet the right man it will be easy, not dating other people will be a mutual no brainer. Promise Smile

Dating is plural. I fully expect to be dating men and equally expect the men i date to be dating other women...UNTIL we have the exclusivity chat. Then once exclusive, its not acceptable to be dating others as you have both defined you are are in a relationship.
