Rouge is quite right!

You are being manipulated by her and yes, this means she is bad. Sorry, buddy, but she doesn't play fair, so she's out! Give up on such notions as "if it is meant to be" - pure piffle! When you find HER, you will know it by her actions! This girl here is assuading her ego with you until she can get another guy to replace you. After she does, you will never see her again and you should not want to.

This is the classic "hold him off while retaining your grip on him".

As far as you are now concerned, she no longer exists. What is more, you will no longer date one woman exclusively - period. The time to be exclusive is when you are afianced and NOT before then. Exclusivity is the one of the rights of marriage, not of dating.

By NOT being exclusive you prevent this tangled emotional scene where you become a toy.

Set about, beginning right now, building a satisfying independent life for yourself. Career, home, car, stock portfolio, and only then think about dating a whole slew of women simultaneously.
