Starsky... YES!! I have decided I want more... but, could I actually "say" that? if asked?
Knowing you? No, probably not -- you'd probably dance all around it for 5,000 words and you two would do this little dysfunctional "dance" that you do, lol.
I'm kidding . . . but I'm not. MM, you will notice that my style is very direct and clear. I would urge you to try to become much more direct and succinct in your communications with your xbf, and stop this passive-aggressive, game-playing little dance that you two do.
Would it sound like you're waiting for him to give you more? Well you ARE wanting more (commitment, exclusivity) . . . the key is in not coming across as "waiting" for it. You are moving on regardless of whether or not he can step up and provide you with what you need in a long-term relationship (Pearlharbor's story).
