You make good points, but here’s the counterpoint: dating has some inherent costs when you’re a man. If you can’t afford them, then refrain from dating until such time as you are in a better economic place. After graduating law school in an economy almost as bad as the current one, I spent a grand total of 18 months before I got a decent job. I made it a point not to date during that time so that I didn’t embarrass myself. Getting a job was my #1 priority, not getting dates.

Well, I just want the OP to see that she did have a choice – she could have chosen never to date him. I don’t see how charming it could be to tell someone you want to be exclusive because you are a jealous person. That would have been my 1st red flag. Online dating kind of lends itself to playing the field, so the guy sounds a little off.
