The 3 Date Rule. Do you follow it? Do you think it's stupid?

I think that everyone's different too... You can't just decide to have sex on the first, or third date until you've had said date? Definitely go with the flow, and then decide.

I think general rules like this are terrible ideas. It all depends on the people and their comfort levels.

Well I'm glad to see that everyone agrees that it's a stupid rule/ idea.

I've heard of the 3 month rule, but never have I heard it as the 3 date rule.

Either way, I think it's silly.

Never heard of it. I guess with my boyfriend I actually did sleep with him on the third date. It's just that the time between the second and third dates was a matter of months. (At that time it was a long distance relationship hehe).

agreed!

I think 3rd date is a dumb idea. Dating rules are kinda dumb overall, but I personally wait longer than 3 dates. I might kiss before then, but I'm more interested in getting to know the person first so I'd feel comfortable with them, and also so if I can figure out if I actually like them, or if it's just animal lust. I have a strict rule that if I think they're not intelligent or if there's something I just don't like about them (attitude being a big one, being lazy, etc), then I don't sleep with them.

I'm picky when it comes to dating. Less annoyances and drama. Besides the guys on my campus aren't that particularly enticing. I swear they get dumber and less attractive every year. Like the frat my sisterhood is associated with. A bunch of hipsters that think they're hilarious... Oy

Yeah me too. I met my husband and fucked on the first date (if you would even consider it a date). Worked for me!

I'll do what feels right to me, regardless of rules.

We don't really 'date' in Australia.. at least we don't call it that, nor do we have the same kind of structure to things. Everything a bit more laid back here, you hang out, go out with peopleand if something develops it develops. but at the same time hooking up with someone you've just met really isn't going to lead to any kind of real relationship either

Some rules are definitely meant to be broken. This is one of them.

Each relationship should be handled individually, if you aren't comfortable kissing on a first date then ok! Don't kiss....If you are ready to have sex ont he first date then go for it!

The three date rule came up in an episode of Two And A Half Men that I watched recently. Charlie talking to Alan ---

Charlie "Don't wait up"
Alan "Pretty confident aren't you?"
Charlie "Well yeah, you know, the three day rule"
Alan "It's the three date rule"
Charile "Three dates!?!? That's crazy talk!"
