"Over the weekend, we were on our way to a date when her phone rang it was another guy. She answered the call out loud and told the person she was busy and would return his call later, but he called her babe as they were hanging up. I was so confused, and she could tell. She apologized for taking the call in front of me, and I lost my cool because I thought she should be apologizing for leading me on."
"If you like this woman, fight for her. Ask her to meet with you, and tell her that you would like to be exclusive. Admit that you were taken aback when another suitor called her but that you realized the two of you had never had that discussion. Ask her if she thinks there's a chance for the two of you to build something special and, if so, whether she is willing to be exclusive with you while you figure it out."
One person describes dating someone for months and feeling a relationship was serious until the partner answered another man's call and the caller said "babe." The daters had never agreed to exclusivity, and one party left after learning the partner was seeing others. The advice given is to request a meeting, state a desire for exclusivity, acknowledge being surprised by the call, and ask whether the partner will be exclusive while exploring a relationship, with permission to move on if exclusivity is refused. A separate friend accidentally used incorrect pronouns, the friend reacted angrily, and the speaker felt embarrassed and believed prior negative experiences likely caused the outburst.
