Post 3rd Date

This is the bread and butter zone because everyone loves it.

This is the time to get to know the person on a deeper level. A kiss or hand holding could take place in this level and push things toward a relationship.

Of course, read the room and by the room I mean her. Try to pick up on her queues. Or, for an easier approach, ask her if you can hold hands on the fourth date or, in general conversation, ask her what her opinion is on how she likes that to take place.

Maybe she thinks two people should be in a committed relationship before they hold hands or kiss. Maybe she’s okay with hand holding casually but reserves kissing for exclusive relationship. Only one way to figure it out, Kemosabe!

Ask. Her.

To keep it casual, ask her about her preferences/opinion mid-fourth date just like you’d ask her what her favorite color is.

If she gives the green light in the stage you’re in right now (not exclusive) then go ahead. Not right then, silly. But wait about 15-20 minutes after she gives you the green light to hold her hand and then ask to hold her hand. If she gives the green light for a kiss, which is unlikely until you’re exclusive but hey it’s possible, give her a kiss goodnight when you drop her off.

Remember, this is the time to find out if an exclusive relationship sounds enjoyable for you both. And it could take about 3-4 more dates before things get exclusive.
