If I kiss a guy, I want him to be only kissing me... if that is any kind of answer... I only date one at a time myself...

I didn't give a poll answer, because I don't think there is any set time, every couple is different and does what is best for them. Though I would think 6 months to 5 years especially is a bit long, wouldn't you then call that an open relationship?

It really depends on the relationship.

Need another choice. Didn't fill out survey cause every relationship is different - can be committed in as little as 2 weeks.

I don't know what to choose in the poll. I am 'old fashioned' so to speak. I think if you are only 'dating', you can date as many people as you want to as long as everyone you date knows this and they are free to date others too.... but for me, that means no sex during dating. When you are 'in a relationship', it is exclusive and it is understood by both parties to be monogamous (I believe in monogamy and my partner would have to feel the same way)....for me 'dating' is the way to find the person you want be monogamous with

Seriously, the only rule is that there are no rules. Every couple has to figure that out for themselves.

I didn't vote, with me it is a discussion not a time period. Some have been only a few weeks, others have been seeing for years and never a commitment, sooner or later one moves on. When not committed each is free to see others.

Definitely an it depends answer. I agree every relationship is different.

And what do you mean by committed 1:1? Calling the other BF/GF or whatever label? Living together?

It of course depends on both of us looking for a one on one thing,

It really depends on the people, can't put a time limit on it.. they both will know when it's time to bump it up a notch.

I think it could be any time but I think quite quickly you know if you click.

IMO that’s something you discuss with your partner. Unless your in an open relationship, you have to be committed to that person since the beginning.

Well, there's no set time, it depends on the couple. One can fall in love n a month, or it could take a year of getting to know each other.

For me the answer is simple if only because it is very unlikely that I will get to know someone in a variety of situations within a week, probably not even a month. Therefore, I am inclined to say that six months would be a minimum time before thinking about being "committed one to one." Of course, it is entirely possible that you could be surprised later on. Nothing is written in stone, except epitaphs and there are no hard and fast rules about it.

Don't know. Do know that when those idiosyncrasies you found so cute and adorable at the beginning start to irritate you worse than listening to to a trump speech...its time to join Agnostic.com !!!

I find this tough, but I'm not going to answer as I'll be lynched for being 'big headed', lol.

A year and-a-day. Time to measure release and acceptance, and commitment on "day one" of new possibilities.

I year for me.

I guess im a one person kind of person. As soon as it looks like it's going somewhere I drop everything else

I don't really believe that time is an indicator. I think it has more to do with discovered compatibilities, and the amount of time spent sharing experiences that bond you.

However long as the two of you need.

Level of selfishness can not be measured by a timeframe.

None of the above, but I had to vote to comment. I'm polyamorous, I'm committed to several. Not one to one.

Time is arbitrary in this regard.
