    Hello there,

    Just wanted to see what your guys' opinion-

    1) How long would you date someone before you consider a relationship with them?

    2) Is it worth casually dating someone who won't start to consider a relationship until 3-4 months of dating?

    Thanks!

    I'm assuming you're asking about someone in particular, and the only real answer here is that it depends on the person. If you're comfortable dating casually for 3-4 months, go for it. If not, then it would be worthwhile thinking about why not (there are good reasons and less good reasons for not wanting to wait, of course).

    That said, I will say that waiting 3-4 months for a label seems a bit long, speaking personally, and without knowing more about the situation, I'd be tempted to wonder why they wanted to wait. But, again, depends on the person.

    Hi Gravity,

    Thanks for your feedback. I do agree 3-4 months can seem like a bit of some time. I'm interested in dating a guy who got out of 4-year serious relationship a couple months ago. He told me he wants to get to know someone really well before making a commitment.

    If he just got out of a relationship that lasted that long I think it's understandable that he wants to get to know someone well before jumping into another relationship.

    Just go for it, spend time with him and get to know him and see where it goes. Be prepared for everything. At least you will have someone to hang out with.

    BTW, I like your photo :wink:
