You have a first date with someone and it goes alright. Your date is perfectly nice, with no obvious red flags/character flaws. You're not strongly physically attracted, but you don't find them repulsive either. Knowing that relationships can take time to develop, how long would you continue to give things a chance before concluding the person is great, just not great for you?

I actually know right away if Im into someone or not.......Im not exactly the most patient, understanding or fair person I know. Exactly how long have you been waiting?
Here was my theory on things. Unless the first date was just a total horror show, I always went out with a woman twice. After all, she might have been stressed about something, nervous or simply didn't feel good that day.
It paid off for me. Because my first date with my wife was kind of good and kind of eh. Even though the first time I met her, I knew she was right for me, the first date ended on kind of a down note. So I waited a week and then called her again. Second date was just outstanding.
But if there are no sparks by the end of the third date (No, I don't mean hopping into bed), then bail. Because it just won't happen.
My last two serious relationships started out with a not so great first date. The second dates went much much better. A lot of people are very nervous on first dates and really aren't themselves. If the conversation is still dragging or there is zero chemistry by the end of the second date, well there won't be a third.
Date was on Sunday and planning a second date for this week. Was set up by mutual friends. He's a good guy, but I didn't feel any sparks. I don't want to be too hasty; I know sometimes there's no connection on a first date. My friends are begging me to be open to this guy, since I'm not the most patient person either. Especially since the guys I've had that immediate spark with have not worked out.

Maybe something to think about? Sometimes that immediate spark clouds your vision of what the person is really like. If you had an OK time, and no immediate flags, why not give it another go with this new guy? I think people put WAY too much emphasis on the immediate spark.
I think by the end of 3 you pretty much know if it's worth pursuing or not.
