<human>: So I've kinda fallen in love with this guy online. Long story short, we've been talking off and on for a little over the past year. Lots of Skype, sexy texts, blah blah blah. We never made anything official though because of the distance and the fact we hadn't met yet. Our conversations heated up a lot in the last few months before we met.

So I finally met my guy a few weeks ago and we completely clicked. Everything was wonderful and perfect (I think) and he seemed to have a great time too. We clicked emotionally and sexually etc. It was really hard to leave him.

He's still telling me he loves me, but all the pet names have slowed down. He messages me/calls me first less. Things just seem really off. I've tried asking him what's up, he claims there's nothing wrong. I asked him about exclusivity and he says he's just not ready to go there yet.

Meanwhile I'm stuck. I'm head-over-heels in love with this guy, but I'm also ready to be in a relationship, so I feel like I need to cut it off. As much as I care for him, I don't want to be in this nebulous thing anymore. Even though we're not "exclusive," I can't date anyone else because I just want to be with him and it wouldn't be fair to whoever I was dating.

So I'm trying to figure out how to either 1.) Figure out how I can keep my distance from him so I can date other people and at least have a shot at being happy in a relationship with someone else or 2.) Cut things off with him completely.

Anyone been there/done that?

Sorry for the wall of text.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: I like this boy a whole lot but he doesn't want to be exclusive.  How do I back things up here?
