Is there a set number of dates that you should have before you get into a relationship? Or do you just go with the flow?

Is it ok to date multiple people to see what's out there and who you have chemistry with more (say the other person is doing the same)

Could it end up being months before it turns into a relationship? or is that to long?

Some people fall into things immediately. Some take months or even years. It all depends on the people involved. Just go with the flow. What works for other people might not be the right thing for you.

If you aren't committed to someone, I think dating multiple people can be ok, but be honest about it.

Nope, no set number of dates or time limit.

Multi-dating is fine, IMO, if both people are on the same page with it.

so basically you could go on like 8-9 dates with one girl before it leads into anything serious?

I believe if no intimate encounters happens after a month or so the chances of it ever happening drop exponentially. A committed relationship I'd give several months. Of course there are exceptions and different circumstances.

I dated a lady for a little over a month with no real intimate physical affection besides greeting/leaving hugs. Interest fizzled out and I lost interest.

So just go with the flow and see where things lead. If there is no real physical affection being shown after a couple dates there is nothing there IMO.
