That's really tough. From an outside perspective, it sounds as if this could drag on for a very long time (it already has). And it sounds like he has no problem with that. I think at this point you have a right to know if things are ever going to progress, and if they aren't you can clearly consider it casual dating, and start going out with other people. This should be decision-making time. If a committed relationship is what you need right now, and he can't or won't give that to you, it is probably time to start moving on.
The thing is, we're not even casually dating ... just ocassionally sleeping together. If I do start dating, that will come to an end - because I say so (he would agree). I want a committed relationship, but I want it with him - I don't think I could start one with anybody else right now because my life is such a mess (which, isn't to say that when my life isn't a mess I won't still want to be with him - I wanted to be with him before Alex passed). I wish I could snap my fingers and move on... wouldn't that be great!!! :)
I would love to see you move on. You never have anything good to say about him or your status with him. As nice a guy you might claim he is to be, this doesn't seem very nice.
8.5 monts is enough time for him to decide whether or not he wants to be with you. My fear is that he would be this wishy-washy with your forever. If you become exclusive, what about marriage? Will that takes years and years? Don't let him guide how you live your life. You guide it. Try out some dates.
I long for the days when you have fun or good guy news and you're actually happy with that guy :(
