Does "the third date rule" apply?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Most certainly not.

2

'course it does. Any more than three dates, and I fart like a demon.

3

I’m on the fence in this case.

4

It only applies if the first two weren’t double dates.

5

I’ve been married for almost 140 years. So, stamp out some ignorance and tell me what the Third Date Rule is, please?

… and whether it has changed recently and we did not get the Memo?

7

I’m not married, and I have no clue. So, yeah, some help would be nice.

8

I believe the rule is: it is customary to have sex on the third date.

Incredibly silly.

9

No, there were plenty of instances in which I was ready to have sex on the first date.

10

Would everyone be happy with the Third Date Rule of Thumb?

11

Oh. That’d be why I didn’t know, seeing as it’s been a while since I’ve gotten to the third date.

12

What’s a third date?

13

it used to be, and not all that long ago, that the third date was when you might kiss for the first time. i honestly think that a movie or t.v. show was responsible for the notion that sex is required on the third date. it’s almost like an urban legend, with no certain origin, and no basis in anything solid. i know that it’s recently been mentioned on Ally MacBeal, but did not begin there.

it’s simple; some want sex as pure recreation, while others see it as a step on the road to commitment and a third group sees it as a step to be taken once that road has been travelled awhile. which of the three routes to take merely depends on the agreement between partners. it’s a good question on the test for compatibility.

I prefer these days, what with HIV & whatever out there that wasn’t out when they made that rule, to now call it the three month rule :slight_smile:

Bah. I miss the 80’s. Back in the day, we didn’t even necessarily have a third date, so if you were going to have sex, you had to get right to it on the first date! And we were glad to have it! Kids these days…

17

Good lord, what is with you people? Doesn’t anyone nail a stranger in a dark alley anymore?

The results of a poll some time back were that if a man didn’t score by the third date, he would forever remain in the “friend” zone. Stated slightly differently, a woman supposedly knows by the third date whether or not she is willing to bed a man.

19

Well, yeah. But that’s a stranger, not someone I’m dating.

I am so sorry I asked.

The last third date I had, I wound up marrying her.

I should have stopped at two dates. :mad:
