What do you think should be discussed well, by say the third date with someone?

I think "What kind of relationship are you looking for with me now that you have met me?" Being prepared for "just friends" to be an option.

How about, "Is faithfulness a part of love when you say it?" or "What does loving someone look like in your eyes?"

Maybe "What are the responsibilities of each party in a serious relationship?"

What do you think should be discussed?

The sooner you know the answers to those questions the better informed you will be so yea, third date.

Women know if a relationship is going farther by the first date usually, right?

That was funny...lol\

I was saying by the third date. This is assuming there are lots of phone calls in between the dates and stuff too.

3rd date is so subjective. There are some people that by the time I have the actual first date I know tons about the, and others I might see them for a long time before I know much of anything.

Now if you want to talk about what kind of things should be discussed before having sex, that's a whole different matter.

Are you interested romantically in being with me. Do you feel a close intimate connection with me. Will you open up and share with me and be interested in being a life partner with me. Maybe not all your life but at least in the here and now. We both like each other, why not start to trust each other? Let your guard down and just enjoy the two of us being together being intimate.

Okay so then we have to discuss what are important markers in the relationship.

Sex may be important to someone and not to others.

I was using the by the third date as a kinda turning point of knowing if you are just going to be friends or if things are going to go into the realm of a romantic relationship. Some will know sooner some later.

So what needs to be discussed before having sex with someone?

Shshsh third date hell, I have been talking to a guy for a month now. We talk every day I assure you all those questions have been already discussed. Not per-say as far as with each other but what we want from another.

Truth is sometimes it may take a few dates before I know that they are the one I want those things with. Therefore if I have met them in person first it may be months down the road before we get that serious. And talk about those things.

It seems if you meet them online you tend to ask those questions or at least give your opinion on the situation. But if you meet them in person first then it will be much longer down the road before I even mention those things.

Actually last guy I dated he went into the spill of me selling my house ect and moving us getting a place together and all. Shshsh talking about cold feet quick slow down big boy is what I thought. Needless to say we are no longer seeing each other. Sure most men would agree with me if they go there that fast I'm running away...

To me it all depends on how you meet them and if your only contact is by phone for a length of period then you do tend to get into those type of conversation.

Maybe, but personally I don't go on dates just looking for that perfect someone. Not saying I won't grab the chance if she comes along, but I'm just trying to enjoy my life and I can't do that if I'm on a "quest" for the perfect mate. So what I discuss or don't discuss by the 3rd date isn't important, only if I'm enjoying the date now.

agreed. It depends on how long you have talked online or the phone, but even then (for me) in person can still be different even though you've talked for a year before

so by the 3rd date, I'm still trying to just enjoy the date and company

Txs, I agree the time frame may be ambiguous for each person but what are some of the things that need to be discussed as soon as possible.

I think "Do you believe in traditional roles for men and women in a relationship and what are these traditional roles?" would be a good one in this day and age.

Good attitude to have. Expect the unexpected, but don't expect what you may not achieve.

I got it! by the 3rd date you should definitely have memorized their name and they should know yours.


(sorry I just couldn't resist)
