How slow is too slow? I know everyone is different but if I don’t want to do anything physical at all until date 3 is that too much?

I won’t even hug you until date 2 let alone put my lips on yours. Crazy how me wanting to go on a few dates before doing anything is “slow burn”😭

what's anything physical? i'll hug and maybe hold hands on the first date, no kissing. i'm okay with kissing on dates 2-3 if i'm feeling him but i wouldn't mind if he wanted to go slower than that - when i was newer to dating, i damn near didn't kiss until we were exclusive lmao

I’m a guy and I kind of fumbled a girl and I want to know if it’s because she thought I wasn’t interested or was expecting more from a first date.

You may get some answers that help you see what opinions are most common, but ultimately, there is no “too much” when it comes to what you sincerely want out of dating. If you don’t feel comfortable or interested doing anything physical until date 3, you may lose some people’s interest, but those people will be ones who weren’t actually compatible with what you are interested/comfortable with, so that’s ok.

I’ve been in relationships where we hadn’t even kissed for months because of my own insecurities (in high school). Just go ya your own pace and if the other person doesn’t accept that then they’re not for you

Ok thanks. I’m mainly asking to figure out how rare that is/where everyone else stands now, I should probably do a poll.

If you’re concerned that someone will misread lack of touch on an early date as not being interested, you could probably express your interest in other ways.

You give me hope. There’s so many people now that see everything casually and I’ve been trying to find people who don’t but I haven’t had any luck.

Hugging, holding hands, kissing. Imo the first few dates are about getting to know someone so I’d really prefer to keep it just talking and doing stuff until I feel like I know enough to be able to say that I’d be interested in dating long term.
