A non-exclusive relationship is casual dating where two people connect emotionally, and sometimes physically, but there is no commitment. You are making a promise to the other person that you are dating them exclusively and not seeing other people.

How many dates before a relationship is official?

Without wishing to sound like a broken record, there is no definitive answer. Some people will consider themselves to be officially in a relationship after a handful of dates. Others might want to wait until ten or more dates have happened before committing.
