Dating a guy(26M) I met on Hinge and I’m confused about where I stand (22F)

I '22F' and I’ve been dating a guy(26M) I met on HINGE for a little over a month now. Things have been good in some ways, but I’m starting to feel confused and honestly a bit emotionally exhausted.

He’s very different from anyone I’ve dated before. He’s a really late replier, doesn’t communicate much throughout the day, and usually we only have one call a day. Most of the time, our conversations are pretty limited, and I often feel like I’m the one wanting more connection and clarity.

The biggest issue is that he doesn’t really give commitments or define what we are. Whenever I try to bring up where this is going or how he sees us, he usually avoids giving a direct answer. He says he’s had very bad experiences with dating in the past and that he’s scared of getting hurt again, which I understand and empathize with, but at the same time I feel stuck not knowing where I stand.

Something else that’s bothering me is that he told me there are two girls he matched with on Hinge and Bumble before meeting me. According to him, they wanted friendship and nothing romantic, but he has mentioned wanting to meet them. I don’t know if I’m overreacting, but I do feel jealous and uncomfortable hearing that, especially because I have developed feelings for him.

The confusing part is that he doesn’t seem like he’s talking to other women romantically. He stopped using dating apps actively after we started getting close, and from everything I’ve seen, he mostly just talks to me. But at the same time, his actions don’t really make me feel like a priority either. We barely spend time together compared to what I’d expect when dating someone.

Has anyone dated someone like this before? Am I expecting too much after only a month, or is it reasonable to want clarity and a little more effort at this stage?
