How long should the talking/ dating stage last?
Ideal Duration of the Talking or Dating Stage
The talking or dating stage varies but typically lasts until both individuals feel ready to commit and become exclusive. There is no fixed timeframe, as it depends on mutual comfort and understanding. Communication and observing compatibility help determine when it’s the right time to move forward to a serious relationship.
Rule of thumb for me was 3 months top. Can't wait around for someone whose dragging their feet. In or out, be decisive.
Until one or both actually loves the person and they have a "relationship" talk. I can date someone forever without talking about a relationship, he is the one that will have to bring it up. I don't.
eh...a few months maybe? it also depends if the person was a stranger, acquaintance or friend beforehand
😂😂😂
I drag my feet for sure. It takes a long time for me to get to know someone and trust them. I know I’m annoying and it’s why I don’t really “date” that much.
3 months is probably my fastest 🤣
Your sign please, Aquarius?
(Because I’m seriously having problems with Aquarius right now)
Just because I I date you I'm still watching for any indication that would separate you from the rest of the pack.
I've had exes that got comfortable,changed and became to relaxed expecting me to put up with the person I didn't meet in the first lovely stages. I'm not in short supply so I can waste time like a pro.
5 month mark reveals the true person. If she makes it that far then shell get bumped up into my top 3 rotation. Just being honest.

No, I’m the Aries. I drug my feet for a whole year with the Aqua. I move painfully slow so I’ve never had a problem being frustrated over someone committing...nearly everyone is ready to commit before I am.

Sounds like maybe because you had an Aqua leading the relationship then. If you had an Aries, you would get married tomorrow 😏
