Ok so if you are showing interest in someone and they show interest in you in return but is still fishing, how would you feel? What would you do? What are the limits and levels of this?

It's up to each person. Hey, if I am chatting with someone online and they are still searching, I accept what it is and go with the flow. There isn't much one can do and life is too short to worry about that which you cannot control.

I'm married and I'm living an happy mariage..........but I have to admit that I sometimes miss the interest of someone (extra my husband) ) for me
In this case, and in case someone could be interested on me I feel good but the level has to be a friendly level.
If I was single......the level could change of course...
Even if he is still fishing I could make some steps forward him.....not forgetting my parachute.
We always should have a little safety net behind our shoulders

Gman said it perfect.
A person with low tolerance for sharing in this situation may need to move on.

I wouldn't accept it after a certain point and I'd move on.

Internet exclusivity.....interesting.
I would suggest using the internet for friendship only, unless you are in close proximity of one another and can interact in the real world as well.

Um...what works for you doesn't always really work for other people.
My relationship can't function in the real world as of yet, so we have to rely on the internet and the phone.
Why should we not be "exclusive", just because we can't be together for a few months?

During my internet dating days, I understood and accepted that the guy might be showing attention to others besides myself. If location were not an issue, I preferred to meet sooner, rather than later...to mitigate the possibility of an 'attachment' that wasn't going to carry over in The Real World.
When meeting isn't an immediate option, I don't think there is a 'right' answer. Some people are comfortable with internet exclusivity, and if both agree to this, who am I to suggest they're wrong. On the other hand, if one person wants the exclusivity and the other person does not...well, in my experience, it's better to accept that difference. There's usually nothing to be gained from trying to coerce someone into exclusivity, or trying to force someone to accept your interest in others.

I think showing interest is just a prelude. More may happen or it may not. I don't think showing interest in a person is grounds for exclusivity unless both parties agree to that. I'm talking (through email) with several men on here but right now it's just interest, nothing more. If I meet or date one, then things will change.
