It seems like it's always different, but does anybody have a point where they say what they want from the other person and what their intentions are? Be it the first, second, third, etc date..
I usually tell someone where I stand date # 4-5 as far as my life goes. I'm an avid horse back rider and that is 100% a deal breaker for me, if my man cannot accept my horses then I'm out of there!
I would say the first date! If you like some one and you want them to be yours then go for it. If your unsure I would give it a while say the third date! : )
For me I would need to know sooner rather than later. I don't go by 1st ,2nd or 3rd dates, but by phone calls. How well you guys interact with one another goes along way. If the chemistry is great & if you folks can be free & open with each other and DON'T waste anytime with what I call "small talk"& have real genuine conversations, than go with the 4th to 5th phone call regardless of how many dates you've been on. JUST LET IT BE KNOWN! You don't have anything to lose but everything to gain! Worst thing you could do is procrastinate. Why put yourself in that position?! She could be thinking your not the serious type of guy or even worse, want her for the time being(for a short period of time). That said, you don't wanna feel like there's something down the road for a real genuine relationship when in reality, she's thinking your just a summertime fling, catch my drift....In order to take that next step, you need to have that trust & communication with your partner. If not no need in wasting your time trying to get in a relationship with that particular person. Move on to someone that wants what you want!! In other words, go get what you feel is yours!
I think once you are actually going out. Think of a relationship as an unexplored map. If you can see everything it ruins the surprise :) There will be a point where the dark areas are so few and far between you may as well disclose them, but starting with nothing and having everything to gain is what makes the world fun!
