I was told that I was not the "typical woman" to take 4 dates or more to figure out if I want to date someone long term. The guy I am dating thinks that is too long. So I wonder if I am unusual?
How many dates typically does it take you to know if you want to date a person long term? Please also state if you are a man or a woman. He seems to think that women would take 1 or 2 dates, but men would take much longer.
He's full of crap. There is no "typical" number of dates before a person (whether man or woman) knows, in my experience. He's probably saying that because he already knows, and wants you to be on the same page. If you're not, though, there's nothing he can do about it, except wait or move on.

Oh for crying out loud. You really think that this is something that has a "typical" answer?
I don't think I have ever bothered to date anyone I didn't think had a good chance of being a long term thing from the get-go.
But I've never done blind dating.

This forum needs a common sense filter.
Why do you have to be so rude? I am just trying to gage what others might think. It may be stupid to you, but I am sure not everyone thinks so. That's why this forum exists! If you are not going to be helpful, please don't answer.

Others think all over the board. There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Get it?? Geeez.
And I'm sorry - really hate coming across as rude. But man the posts in this forum lately....it must be in the water.
I could certainly decide I didn't want to date someone, long term, <4 dates, but it takes longer to decide if you do want to date someone, long term.
I think it's also partly dependent on what sort of dates you went on with this person, those 4 times. How long were the dates? A 30 minutes coffee date is not equal to a 2 hour long meal -- you don't get as much time to talk, to see how your date handles things like their meal being miscooked or a slow waitress or other things that are potential red flags (and green flags).

I get it which is why I ask the question. Do YOU get that??
