Whoops....didn't realize it cut off the end of my post, here it is......
I was super hurt that he chose to hang out with her instead of me (but that could be because of my dates), and I am upset that he lied to me. I want this guy, and I do feel like I have contributed to the state of where we are- him not wanting to be exclusive. But the lie is eating away at me, and now doubt creeps into my head…am I now the backup girl, or is he simply reacting in turn to my behavior? My question is, how do I handle this?? Should I confront him? Should I let it go? And how do I proceed with him, to get things back on track? How do I get him to commit? I have been readily available, and continually let him know this is what I want. Should I back off and make him chase me a bit, or continue to try to show him this is what I want? Please help!

yep, I slept with him. And actually right now at this moment I'm getting some feedback from him that suggests I may now be the backup plan. I'm done with it.

Why would he tell me yesterday that he wants us to work things out then? I don't understand people who aren't straightforward.

You were the first one to tell him,, lets begin to see each other. I am sure he took it seriously. So it did it. I think you really like him but are exhausted with the arguments and bad stuff happening. This is so natural in relationships. No wonder it is always good to say at the begining stage that " you are getting feelings " rather than saying the "love", unless ofcourse the guy asks you "do you love me?"
You actually ended up getting hurt because you were the one at the first place to tell him we need to take a step back. So the guy now is doing what is needed. Seeing someone else and lying to you just so that you dont end up getting hurt. Its becomes complicated like any other relationship. You just need to relax now and think before you say anything to him. I am a libra. We libra's are light-hearted unlike earth signs.
In short you need to give him and yourself time. I would say, begin seeing others that way your mind will be diverted from him. But keep in touch with him.

Can you just tell him exactly what you told us?
Be open and frank.

I thought tinder was for slu.ts to get sex. Not for "I kinda love you" and commitment.
No wonder you two both had backup plans. I bet you both banged other ppl on hiatus from your "couple of week long relationship".

The sleeping with a man right away topic goes both ways. If I have any interest in a man long term I won't sleep with him for a long time (waited 4 months with my last bf, but keep in mind I'm in my late thirties). But there are some guys that you may be physically attracted to, but don't see long term potential. Those guys I may chose to have fun with, not caring if we ever talk again or not.
Libra man was just a fun for the night guy in my mind. But then he kept coming back around and I got to know him more. He pursued me heavily, and swept me off my feet. I don't think us having sex early was the cause...I think it was more when I told him that we needed to take a step back and slow down. When I went on a date with someone else, that's where I took a big misstep with him, I believe. We're still talking, but I think both of us are moving on.
