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 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.
