How long do you need to know/date someone before becoming exclusive (minimum)?

If you are dating to find a partner for a LTR, then you should dscuss being exclusive when you think there is a good possibility that this person could be The One for you, because dating exclusively gives you the best chance of bing successful in the relationship.

There are people who come to this conclusion after the first date, but I think most people would assume that is too soon. Some people make this decision after three or four dates, and I suspect most people make the decision within that range. I think the decision should be made when you have spent enough time together to feel that you are both beginning to relax and be yourselves, rather than being self-conscous and concerned about how you are being perceived.

I'd say it depends. If your just casually dating and don't expect anything much probably dosent matter. If it's someone you truly think could be your life partner exclusivity should start right away.

that can vary depending on the person.
Some it has been sooner than others, and how many times a week you see each other.

It depends how much someone holds their privacy "under the radar" or/and how fast chemistry between two people happen.
