How many dates before sleeping together?

If you're looking into a serious relationship, how long is reasonable to wait before having sex? I've heard about a 3 date rule, and a 5 date rule. I am just very curious what you would consider to be a good amount of dates before jumping into bed?

  • Well that answer I am sure will very a lot from people.. But I have had sex once with the women I have being out with on the very first date.. but this is not ever something I would ask on the first date to any women, but on that date we both got caught up in the heat of the moment after a great dinner, a movie, and some dancing at a club, but it was mutual consent by both me and her.. and although it started out as a very innocent thing after I drove her home then was invited in for a coffee before I was going to leave.. we sat on the couch and and starting hugging and kissing.. and we both got very turned on.

    And it was then hinted on by her.. and of course I stepped up to the plate and wanted nothing more then to please her fully... after the intimate sex we sat and talked for a long while and she told me she had never had sex on a first date before and I told her I had not either... but we both so much enjoyed the passion that night and it was something very special and did lead to a long term relationship.. but to answer the question.. it is really up to the two people involved when this takes place and I would respect what ever decision she made.. and like I stated I would not ever ask it on the first date.. I would more happy to wait..

  • That's not a proper question, it's really, how long does it take to get comfortable around him. You see your setting limits, time, and probabilities on yourself you have to stop and wonder. Cause the more you restrain yourself the more questions like these come up. There's no set anything. It's how comfortable. And if you can answer that then you got your answer.

  • i dont think love should be treated like this. it's not a game. people treat it like a board game. think about it.

    dont kiss on the first, but maybe the second
    when she twirls her hair, make your move.
    at the age of 25, you may officially propose.
    touches your arm = she wants the D. advance to level 5.

    ... i mean, just let it happen. dont think of how many dates and whatever. try to just feel it. if you're ready, you're ready, if you're not ready, wait and explore what u have further. let your emotion guide you, as well as your mind.

  • You can have serious relationship even if you have sex on the first date or even before the first date. It just all depends on the person.

    Personally I'm a person who likes to get to know someone a lot and build a trust and connection first.

    But my friends had sex on their first date and they are happily married.

  • I'd like to know this too. Im perfectly fine with sleeping with a guy on the second date, if we were already friends before that. A bit later maybe if we started as strangers. Would guys say that's too soon? And would they lose interest?

  • You wait till they actually want to make you their girlfriend or are exclusive with you. That seems like the most logic plan to me.

  • When my wife was still just a potential girlfriend, we fucked at least 5 times before we went on a date.
    Now we are together 7 years. So what a good amount of dates before sex?
    Every situation different.

  • Its never going to be serious between me and anyone who has some kind of "rule"... once that comes up, my only intention is to break the rule... hence, the relationship gets forgotten. and once the rule is broken, she's out.

    • Would you lose interest if she, not having any rules and feeling very attracted to you, would sleep with you on the first date?

    • @Felinegirl I didn't ask her out with any expectations, so if its sex on the first night... why not. at least then i can focus on the girl rather than when we are going to have sex. its out of the way.

    • So that would mean more chance of getting serious instead of less, right?

    • Show All
  • It depends on the situation. Some relationships you may naturally click and feel as though after the 2nd date your ready but others may take even more than 5 dates to feel comfortable having sex

  • Forget about a rule. It doesn't matter what other people do or what rules they may suggest. You should not have sex until you are ready for he consequences and you have a partner who you trust, respect, and with whom you share great affection.

  • Whenever it feels right. Not necessarily perfect, just right.

    FWIW my longest and most successful relationships have all gone sexual early on (ie: second or third date)

  • I dated 6 months before having sex.

    • hehe... that schmo...

  • Who df goes on dates anymore? Just lol @ you..

    • She's 17.. and a lot of people still do...

  • The main thing is that you're BOTH on the same page. Sleeping on the first date yes it can make you look easy, he might lose interest in having a relationship. So yes wait at least 3 dates, you can wait till 5 if you'd be more comfortable then. It should be long enough that you both understand its a relationship obviously.

  • it depends on how comfortable you are with someone.

    If i started dated someone new, i would probably wait at least a month before sleeping with them. But im a virgin so its different for me

  • With relationship in mind: Yeah I think 3 is a good benchmark. If you talk all the time tho and really into each other, 2 is totally in range as well however.
    But, some people do hookups and ofc that's banging after the first date.

  • Good question also will like to hear some answers

  • I usually try to go out like 3 or 4 times before sex, most women that want me, want me OBVIOUSLY after 1 or 2.

  • There are peile who make them wait 6months.

    I'm like if it's religious reason coool maybe but outside of that whaaaaaa u took about

  • There are no rules. I have friends who slept with their boyfriends on the first date, and I have friends who slept with them after 2 years (even more). Just do what you feel comfortable with.

  • Usually around 3 days or 3 weeks to a month.

    • dates*

  • I prefer to wait until we are married. I've seen a lot of people not married and they end up having sex and then having kids and then they bitch at each other because they met too soon or didn't work on their relationship (enough).

  • it depends on the person. i am introvert so i would personally wait a little longer before doing anything intimate, but i would my interest though.

  • you should do 2 or he will find another girl.

  • I would say wait till you get married (no one really does that anymore).
    After 3 if you really like him and you feel comfortable with following through.
    5 if you need more time.
    Never if you don't even like him.
