I just feel like in the first maybe 5-10 dates this is like a really crucial time to setup how you proceed together in dating.

Like how often you communicate, how often you see eachother, what kind of things you start to share about yourselves, learn about the other person…

And when you’re in those first stages it soo easy to mess up since you don’t really owe eachother anything so you can both easily go your own separate ways if things go south.

I feel like after a few months/e.g. 10 dates you can begin to have figured out where you stand well enough together and feel more secure

How long does it take you to feel secure in your relationship? Any stories of where it went wrong before you got to that point?
