Usually about 3 months is good

Spending some time with them, Learning what they are about is best. There are no guarantees in life but getting to know someone first is best i think. You want to make sure at least you will not wake up in a bathtub of ice missing a kidney.

When you feel it's right. I asked a guy after one month. He was wondering when I would say something. Talk it out, guessing games suck.

Errrr, why the heck are you asking random people on the net what they think, instead of asking your would-be girlfriend what *she* thinks? Ultimately, the two of you are the only ones whose opinions count for anything....

Give it at least a month.

Now listen, I'm going to be as unbiased as possible. There is no reason to even bother making the relationship official if you allow the relationship to follow its natural course. If you still feel it's necessary, you really should wait for a few more dates because you can't really see each other casually. If everything is still good a month from now and/or she suggests sleeping with you before that time, then you can ask her if she'd like to be exclusive.

Hahahaha... you have a very good point.

Seems like my husband never officially ASKED me while we were dating. We had known one another for about 6 or 7 months just as work colleagues before we ever went out, but it wasn't more than a few weeks of dating before the L word entered the picture... then again, we had known one another awhile, so it wasn't like this was some dude I met in a bar or whatnot.

We should all keep watch on our organs.

Just go up to a girl, tell her she would look good in front of a camera, and ask her to be your g/f.

We joke around, Mrs. Chow and I.... we had 2 "dates" and after that I went to her house and never left.


That was 21 yrs ago......
