Keslove Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 I'm casually dating someone which includes intimate moments and sex. What are people's recommendations and experiences for how long you'll wait for someone to become serious? Max amount of time you'll wait? 1 year?
silveris250 Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 I think it really depends. If you are head over heels for this person, and he/she feels the same, why not talk about going to the next level. Personally for me, I'm in the situation where I'm already thinkin about marrying my g/f and it's only been 9 months. All honesty, i'd wait about 3-4 yrs to really tell if its time.
unconventionality Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 It depends on the person. It's up to you how long you want to wait for this guy but make sure that this guy knows where he stands with you as well. That he knows that you are ready to go to the next level, he might think you aren't and that is why you aren't in a commitment relationship right now. Or he might not be ready, let him know and then give the relationship some time, if you don't feel the relationship will ever progress that perhaps you need to move on. You never know, some time a part might help to reassess things for you and for him! Personally, I wouldn't wait any longer then three or four months.
IpAncA Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 I'm casually dating someone which includes intimate moments and sex. What are people's recommendations and experiences for how long you'll wait for someone to become serious? Max amount of time you'll wait? 1 year? There's not really a time frame to give you. It all depends on the couple. Some move fast and some like to move slow.
silentcharon Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Well, I was heads over heels with my ex when we first started dating. It got pretty serious quickly, we were already saying I love you's weeks into the relationship. It lasted 7 years. Now I am currently dating a new guy, who I really, really like- I wonder about the same thing as well. I chalk it up to inexperience, and opt to just sit back and enjoy the ride. I've been asking people how long they usually wait until they tell their so's the infamous phrase, "I love you.", some say five months, some say a year, and so on. It really does depend on the couple, I think. Things aren't the same with the new guy as it was with the ex, but, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's just different, and so far I'm enjoying it. Bottom line is that, there isn't a set of rules for anyone to follow in relationships. Let it happen naturally, and go from there!
Lauriebell82 Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 i agree it all depends on the couple. some relationships move fast, some move slow. if ur really getting serious about the person, then maybe try talking to them about it and see what happens. thats all u can really do.
