<human>: I've been talking to this guy for six months. He lives a few states away, but we have met in person and it went really well. We text daily and talk on the phone once or twice a week. We had sex when we met and we frequently sext, if that makes a difference. 

He recently sent me a text message asking me if he's the only guy I'm seeing. I said yes, because it's true. Then he texted me back "I want it to stay that way, even though we're long distance". 

Ok cool, because I really like him. So I agreed.  I'm more than happy to be exclusive. However, my girlfriends are telling me that I should take it with a grain of salt. They say I shouldn't expect HIM to also be exclusive based on that text--they say I simply agreed that **I** wouldn't see anyone else. They say that left the door open for him to see as many other people as he wishes. 

I say that it's crazy to ask someone to be exclusive while not expecting yourself to follow by the same rules. Surely since he asked, it means he wants to be exclusive too, right?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Long distance guy asks me to not see other guys during our relationship. Can I assume that means he, too, will exclusively see me and only me?
