OP Pepperband Member P Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 35,996 Shrek's Swamp	Originally Posted by BetrayedP Recently read this book and have a question: How long should one date? It seems that long dating relationships are doomed to fail because the renter mentality becomes engrained. Is it possible at all to be a Buyer while dating? Dating, by nature is a rental situation. Once you are ready to "buy", you get engaged. Then, you get married. The answer to your question (how long?) is tricky. I hope young people (under age 25) date longer than 2 years. I hope recently divorced people date longer than 2 years. I hope people with small children date longer than 2 years. Never married, no kids, older than 25 .... I am open to shorter dating periods.
