How many dates until you stop seeing other people?

Post Reply New Topic

Generally, how many dates do you have with someone until you decide to stop seeing/talking to/dating other people?

The number of dates is irrelevant. A number of scenarios might apply.

1.) The other person (I will assume the pronoun "she" would properly apply in your case) starts regularly texting you with question like "what are we going to do on Saturday?" implying you and she are a couple. If you agree with that premise, then you would have no reason to date anyone else.
2.) She tells you she loves you and you believe yourself capable of reciprocating that sentiment.
3.) She has sex with you then expresses a desire to continuing doing so.

Admittedly 3.) can happen on the first date but most people should avoid "seeing" other people if they have a regular sex partner.

i dont think theres a set number

Just turn it around - for how long can your date see other people before you start feeling uncomfortable about it?

I depends on the people and the relationship. Some people are ok with long-term non-monogamy, many are not. Just communicate clearly to avoid misunderstandings.

I only talked to my girlfriend everyday for 2 weeks before asking her to be my girlfriend and she said yes. Looking back, I should have waited a little longer, but this was my first relationship ever and we seemed to have strong chemistry at the time and just "clicked", so it is what it is.

Anything above 2 kg of dates, and you would probably die and hence stop seeing other people.

You both have to agree with a commitment to each other.

It can take from zero to thousands of dates.

There is no set timeline; when you feel a strong connection with someone, and you feel like they feel the same way too, then you ask how they feel about being exclusive. Ideally though, you should wait until after you've been on a date with someone at least 3 times.

Don't ask to be exclusive after the 1st date. The first date is just to see whether or not you two are compatible and if there is a "spark".

It depends on how long you can keep each relationship secret from the others.  Remember, there is no commitment until an engagement is made.  Or, you can take the "safe" route, and stop seeing other people when you start having sex with one of them -- whichever one "scores" with you first is the one to whom you commit.
