Search Results: how soon can i ask her out

At some point in dating, a person who is dating to find a long term partner will ask themselves, "Is this person The One? Have I finally found her (or him?)" But most people also are not consciously doing this on a first date. If we spot an obvious deal breaker, of course (like she's an alcoholic or he has an anger problem,) we don't ignore it and we end it as soon as we become aware of the problem. But, on a first or second date, I've never asked myself, "Could this be my future wife?"

Of coure, it doesn't happen at the very same time in every reationship, so answering that "it depends on the relationship" won't be very helpful. In general, when have you started asking yourself this question?
