How long before dating will a guy usually make it official or know she’s the one?

It's difficult to say exactly how long it will take for a guy to decide to make a relationship official or to know that someone is "the one." This can vary greatly depending on the individual and the circumstances of the relationship.

Some guys may know relatively quickly that they want to be in a committed relationship with someone, while others may take longer to feel confident in their feelings. Some factors that can influence how quickly a guy makes a decision about a relationship may include his personal history with dating and relationships, his overall life goals and priorities, and the level of compatibility and connection he feels with the other person.

It's important to keep in mind that there is no set timeline or deadline for making a relationship official or for determining whether someone is "the one." Relationships take time to develop and grow, and it's important to give yourself and your partner the space and time to build a strong foundation for a healthy, long-lasting relationship. It's also important to communicate openly and honestly with each other about your feelings, needs, and expectations as the relationship progresses.

If we have a good second date, it's exclusive. I won't know she's the one until far later. I wasn't sure my girlfriend was "The One" until a few months ago, we've been dating since 2018. I probably would have know if COVID-19 didn't change our dating life.

What does "official" mean? The only thing truly official is a marriage license, or maybe a joint lease or joint ownership of a home.

If it's before dating then there's nothing to make official. Probably the same 99% of the time for knowing she's the one.

Depends how long she makes it necessary not to.

Probably when they start to become intimate after several dates

That can be from first glance to years later.
