<human>: I've been on about seven dates with this one guy over a period of 3 and a half weeks, so we've seen each other a good bit. I really like him and we get along / have great chemistry. We haven't slept together yet because we haven't had the 'exclusive' talk, just my personal preference. 

It seems like he really likes me - i've met his friends, he's incredibly affectionate, cooks for me, we text every day, is open about his life with me... we hung out today and it was like he didn't want me to leave. But there's been no 'hey i really like you, you're great' or he hasn't asked if i'm dating other guys. He's more reserved when it comes to this sort of thing, also its only been a short time.

The thing is, i do like him but want to date other guys if he isn't interested in being exclusive. I've been asked out and want to proceed potentially (seeing as he hasn't asked to be exclusive) but want to see if its ok with him first. I don't know how to do this - really worried I'll screw things up and hurt his feelings if I even mention this. How can I do so without sounding like a jerk? Should I even mention it at this time?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Not exclusive with guy ive been seeing, is it ok to now ask if he's ok with me seeing other people?
