If a couple goes on one date a week, thats anywhere from 10 to 12 dates before they establish exclusivity, according to the survey. Say, schedules allow a couple to see each other more than once a week, that means it could even take 24 dates before exclusivity.

How many dates until you are attracted?

Three dates is a good rule of thumb. This isnt a hard and fast rule, but lets say you spend two to three hours together on each date, with some emailing, texting, or phone time in between. Thats a pretty fair amount of time together. If youre not feeling any sense of chemistry or attachment, its OK to give up.
