Cinnimon Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 In your opinion is there a natural progression of meeting someone new and it either turning or not turning into a relationship ? Such as say given a two month time period, how many dates should have occurred, when should the first kiss have been taken place, what type of conversations should have been explored, and so on and so forth? Of course there is no set time line for these things but I'm simply asking, in your opinion, is there normally a natural progression of these things?
d0nnivain Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 There is a progression but it's not always measured on a calendar or by # of dates / kisses / sex encounters. At the 2 month mark personally I would expect at least 8-10 dates, slightly more than 1 per week. I like a 1st date kiss goodnight, a kiss hello every date after that & a few hot, heavy make out sessions. Sex may or may not have occurred.

Of course there is no set time line for these things but I'm simply asking, in your opinion, is there normally a natural progression of these things? There isn't a set time line per se. First kiss happens as soon as the pair is comfortable enough, 1st, 2nd is usual if the attraction is good. Usually one date per week for the first month or so and then more often after. As far as conversations -- At least by the second or third date and/or before intimacy. a casual conversation needs to happen to make sure that the couple is on the same page in general in terms of relationship goals for each of them. Not necessarily with that person at that point, but you both are looking for the same thing at least. If you are going to be or have been intimate (no matter when that happens), a conversation regarding exclusivity needs to happen if you are dating each other for a relationship. This is the period of deeper evaluation of that potential and you are focusing on each other. If the relationship gets to about the 6 month mark give or take, there should be a conversation about defining the relationship and whether there is enough there for both of you to want to move forward in terms of commitment.
