I don't see a difference between being exclusive and being a "girlfriend/boyfriend". In MY day, we called it "going with", the generation before me, it was "going steady". Either you're dating casually and open to seeing others or you're exclusive and if you see someone else it is deemed as "cheating". The next step, to me, would be engagement. Exclusive is a commitment with an expectation that you think your partner has potential for a really long term thing.. the "real deal". Why would you agree to be exclusive if he/she wasn't?
