Open relationships can work for two people who have agreed on boundaries and who actually communicate with each other. This doesn’t sound like that. If he is “in love” with you, why wouldn’t he want to be exclusive? I’m not gonna speculate too much, as I don’t know you or the situation. But something is already clearly wrong if you’re coming to this site to ask strangers rather than just asking him what ‘open relationship’ means to him. “Going out to dinner” and “hanging out” with other people is not what defines an open relationship.
