Third date and advice
2

I've gone on two dates with this guy. Both of the dates have went well. We have both mentioned that we want to go out again. I just wondering what would be some fun things to do for our third date. I was thinking bowling or cooking dinner at my place. But is it too early to invite him over for dinner? We went to dinner and the movies on the first 2 dates. Also it has been a while since I dated. How and when do people typically decide if they want to be "official" Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

I think the 3rd date is too soon to have someone over to your house because there's too much temptation to take things further if you're not out in public. I wouldn't invite him over until you're ready to sleep with him (and if you are interested in a possible LTR with him then I personally would wait a lot longer than 3 dates to do that, although of course that's a personal decision and choice).

I like to date someone regularly (1-3 times a week) for at least 6-8 weeks before deciding whether to be exclusive with them. IMO, it takes at least that long to have a good idea of whether we're compatible enough to take things to the next level.

As for things to do--man, there are so many choices, although I guess it depends on where you live. How about a holiday concert or play, or a sporting event?
