Smile Very good! But too soon? - June 30th 2011, 02:15 PM

So, yesterday I made it official with a girl I've been hanging out with a lot this past week...and I have a habit of over-analyzing everything after-the-fact...

I've been acquainted with her for a few years, and there was some attraction in the past that never went anywhere...it's just the past week and a half that we've really been talking a lot and hanging out.

Is there a 'standard' waiting period between getting to know each other and dating? Her words were that this was like a 'good fast' and that she thought things were just going to keep getting better.

So I guess that's where I'm headed

Thanks

I don't think there is really a waiting period. Maybe call her up and see if she wants to go do something this coming weekend? If she said it is a 'good fast' then I think you don't really need to worry about how fast you get to know each other. Just set the speed as you go, if you don't feel like sharing something, you don't have to. Just make sure your both comfortable where you are.

Good luck!

I agree with Nicole. There is no set time. It's how you make it. If she said it's a 'good fast' then I wouldn't worry about getting to know her too quickly or too slowly. She seems to genuinely like getting to know you at the pace you are going. You can call her up and ask her if she'd like to do something this weekend, and make sure you mention that it would be a date. After a few dates, see if she wants to be your girlfriend, in an official relationship. Just be comfortable with where you are, and where your heading.

I honestly don't think there's a waiting period especially if she thinks it's a "good fast". I didn't have that few years of being acquainted before I got with my girlfriend. We literally knew each other for a week before we got together and we've been happily together for about 4 1/2 months now. [: I would say don't worry about the time of the relationship, just continue feeling what you feel and expressing what you feel and the relationship will go far.

Sounds lovely! I wish I could do something as special as that with my girlfriend. ^_^
