Without wishing to sound like a broken record, there is no definitive answer. Some people will consider themselves to be officially in a relationship after a handful of dates. Others might want to wait until ten or more dates have happened before committing.

How many dates does it take to know you like someone?

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.
