“The big question that arose at the workshop was when to have The Talk. No, not that talk. The Talk where you discuss taking down your profiles. So now we’ve added yet another conversation we have to have with people we’re dating?”
I vote for not having the talk. Along the lines of what Vox wrote, if you are 100% happy with the person you’re dating, and don’t want to meet other people (or have the opportunity to do so) then either take down your profile or stop logging on. You don’t need to demand that your boyfriend/girlfriend do the same as a condition. Just do it. It doesn’t need to to be some sort of discussion or bargain or a compromise. It’s not enforceable anyway. So, let them do what they want. You do what you want. If you happen to want the same thing, then you’re golden.
Anyway, as I said, you can’t force someone to FEEL a committment. Either a person IS committed or they’re not. If they’re logging on to a dating site, it most likely means they are not committed. No matter how much you really, really wish they were. They’re not.
As for not viewing facebook, or checking on people, I don’t worry about that at all. Like I said, if the person I’m dating is on a dating site, that’s pretty useful information that I’d want to know– not something I would blind myself too.

I don’t believe a woman should ask a man out, either, but I tend to be sexist in my thinking anyway. I expressed interest in my boyfriend, and that gave him the courage to ask me out.
