Instead of focusing on how he feels, try leading by example first.
In other words, if you know that he’s still actively using an online dating profile and you have both talked about exclusively dating each other, you can actually put him in a position where he gets to watch you delete your own online dating profile.
This works best if the both of you have already talked about and agreed to becoming exclusive with one another.
Girls are so used to men ignoring this part of the online dating process, they intentionally look for it.
If you actually take the time to completely fill out your online dating profile, you will leave a very good impression on a girl and this in turn encourages her to message you.
