i’ve been learning more and more about this phenomena of ‘dating exclusively.’  who knew it could be so intricate with all the fine prints.  so, i just resort to my underlying motto of “keep it simple.”  the first step is definitely communication.  let’s just talk it out and see what the other thinks.  no need for all the assumptions and clues and indications; just talk about it!  and then comes the hard answer of maybe it’s, “yes, let’s go exclusive” or “no, i don’t think i’m ready for that.”  but either way, i bet it’ll be a lot less drama and a lot more productive.

ok, so i was trying to make use of the space again by doing a single panel.  i think i was going for owen having a bit of a contemplative moment before rushing to the punchline by ivy.
