So, Fiance and I started our relationship in quite possibly the worst way possible… It was supposed to be a one night stand (we both intended this). Now, I would NEVER recommend for a couple who wants to stay together forever to start out this way… But I’m curious– are we alone?
How long did you wait before you were intimate?

We waited two months… I am surprised we lasted that long we had a very strong and intense inital attraction… which we still have!

We waited 2.5 months. I was my first time so I certainly didn’t want to rush anything.

We waited 2 weeks. We didnt really date, we just hung out. our whole relationship was rushed i guess you could say. only a month and we had a apratment together. and a year later we were engaged.

@GroovyHippieChick: I guess I should add that I had known him for about 4 years prior to that; and we grew up in the same small town and shared a lot of the same friends– it sounds a lot better that way! 🙂
@s.renea9: We moved in together after 3 months (or rather, I was spending every night at his place, I didn’t officially move in for 6 months).

Yeah ours didn’t start the best either for something meant to be longterm. Ours first was the same night that I broke up with my ex… And about 4 months before we actually started dating…

Hah, ohhh about a week. But in my defense, our first date lasted 8 hours, and we went out 5 out of the 7 nights that week. It was like we waited 6 dates, right? 😉

3ish months. We didn’t have an exact day we were dating so that’s why it’s ‘ish’ at the end.

7th date; 2 weeks. I’ll never forget walking into his bedroom and seeing that he’d put new red satin sheets on his bed. I tried not to laugh hysterically but wasn’t good at hiding it. But I pretty much ate him alive, praying mantis style.

We had known each other 3 months, but it was on our first “real” date :/ Our relationship was fuzzy at the time, so our anniversary is the day of our first date… that neither of us thought of as a date at the time haha. If I could go back I would not have rushed into things that easily, but obviously it all worked out.

We dated 5 years before we got engaged. We finally did it at 5 years 10 months, about 7 months prior to our wedding. I planned on waiting until marriage but the timing just felt right.
I accidently voted 3-5 years should have been 5-7 years
