This guy I've been casually dating for about four months is pressuring me to be in a monogamous relationship with him. I have been up front with him since the beginning that I'm not ready for that. So...his new proposal is to give him a "partial commitment." What could this possibly mean?

This is like being a little bit pregnant.

Hell we don't know, why didn't you ask him? And why don't you want to be monogamous after 4 months are you screwing someone else on a regular basis besides him? Or do you just have commitment issues? Tell that man something you are being totally disrespectful towards him, obviously he has feelings for you and he wants to know how you feel about him, what level are you committed to him? Is he just a friday night rump or is someone important in your life, he wants to know?

It sounds as though he wants you to say your are committed to him only, I really do not understand a "partial" commitment. You would have to ask him what does he mean exactly. It could get sticky if you agree to a partial as he wants, in his mind that might mean total commitment, be careful

No such animal as a partial commitment, all the way in or not at all. Sounds to me you have a decision to make.

Perhaps a "Standing date"?(as in every saturday night)
If you don't want to see this guy on a regular basis you really need to tell him so... It would be better to hurt him than to allow him to think "you might come around" sometime.

He's trying to bargain what's not really bargain-able. Sounds like he has feelings for you that you don't share. If you don't want to commit to the guy, it might be time to end it.

It's an oxy-moron, it makes no sense whatsoever.

"partial" commitment is NOT commitment
