-1 month is too soon for the exclusivity talk
-50/50 guy friends is too many guy friends unless by "friend" you mean people that your friendly with and associate with in your expanded social circle. i could never seriously date a girl that had a lot of guy "friends" (read: wanna be boy friends in waiting) texting her all the time. major red flag.
-the rest is fine
he's probably turned on by the age difference, dating older is cool at 18. the religious thing is only an issue if he is devout. more info is needed.

Clinical anxiety and depression are very common, especially in college. I wouldn't classify that as "psycho" (I'm sure that term would upset most women who have these illnesses).
Yet a relationship with someone who suffers from one of these illnesses is going to be challenge on either side, man or woman. The other party usually suffers from one or multiple MIs himself, or he has to be very understanding and supportive.

All of this. If a guy is cautious, he's "afraid of commitment". If he dives into a relationship headfirst, he's guaranteed to get burned.
Once you've been around the block once or twice, you learn to stop listening to what women SAY and pay more attention to what they DO. The guy's probably trying to protect himself, Muslim or not.

I guess . I should also re-watch that movie. Maybe I'll learn something, haha.
I'm not very socially outgoing (probably due to my anxiety) so I don't have that many friends, just acquaintances. Close friends are girls. I'm more of a private person and get along in small groups of people. I get anxious in big crowds.
I do think he's devout. He doesn't drink alcohol at all. Even when his friend tried to offer he turned it down. He doesn't really talk about his religion with me. I had to ask about it once, but he didn't give much info and changed the subject.
I just jokingly say that I'm "psycho" when I'm about to tell someone I'm on medication. Maybe that's not such a good idea anymore...
Do men want to know about a girl's emotional state before diving into a relationship? I'm not sure if I should tell guys right away about my anxiety/depression if there's something between us or save it for later.
I think he's cautious because of his last relationship. He never told me why or how it ended horribly.

if you like him, tell him you like him and want a more serious relationship with him, if he views you in that way you will find out very soon.
dont play games like other posters recommended trying to make him jealous or something, if he does not want a relationship then move on.
21 is not old, but most of the 21-24 year old girls i know in relationships are with guys 3-5 years older than them.

Denial is a fun place isn't it. You can refuse to read between the lines and keep on believing that you're a unique snowflake. Fact is there is a big difference between finding someone sexy and wanting to have a relationship with someone and you know this already, you just want us to tell you that eventually he'll come around and you'll live happily ever after.

I dated a girl for a long time. She was always on my case about me not being committed enough. It eventually destroyed us because she was always trying to force me to commit, and accusing me of not committing. And after a while, it didn't matter what I did, how much commitment I gave. It was never enough for her.
If she would have just relaxed and let me be, we probably would have made it just fine. I really liked her, but dammed if I was going to give in to ultimatums and pressure.
Pressuring me to commit DID NOT WORK. Do you get that? You cannot force a guy to feel a certain way. You must let him come to you.
Hey, it's only been a month. Calm DOWN! Don't act like the guy owes you something. Getting on his case will not help your cause.
If he says he is afraid of commitment, THEN DON'T SCARE HIM!
I am still angry at my ex for blowing it with me. I really came to like her a lot, but she never got over the commitment issue and tried all sorts of crap to force me to commit. Love tests all the time. She eventually pushed me away. STUPID.
