OP here. We’ve been on 3 dates. The conversation is fine. He’d like to go out again. Nothing physical has happened. In the past I’ve called it a wrap after two dates. I’m newly dating again at middle age and have been surprised at how crappy the dating market is at this stage. Makes me wonder if I should keep dating someone as long as there are no red flags.

Yeah, if she hasn’t wowed me in two dates, not much point in continuing.

Don’t beat this to death. If you spend 2 or 3 dates with someone you know if there’s potential or not. Especially if there’s not.

3 seems to be the cap.

Depends on the culture and expectations.
“Ok” without the lows and the highs works for millions of people for hundreds of years.

I’d say three, but don’t sleep with them.

Agreed, 1 or 2 for “ok dates”. More than that and you’re saying you will settle for “ok” in a relationship.

4 dates if you really get on, but don't get it on with him until you think he's has long term potential

Why were they just “ok”?
if the chemistry isn’t there then you’ll have to work toward it.
Or, just throw in the towel and say it’s not going to work.

How many dates with someone would you go on to determine if the person had potential for something long-term? This is assuming all of the dates just went ok
