The Misconception That Three Dates Lead to a Serious Relationship
One piece of advice commonly found in dating manuals and blogs is, "If you can get a third date with the same woman, you're on the right track." While it's true that a third date significantly increases your chances of starting a relationship, assuming a woman will definitely say "yes" to a serious relationship just because you’ve had three dates is risky. Some men even think it's appropriate to propose a relationship after the fourth date.
Let’s first address a common misunderstanding many men have. The idea of three dates is just a guideline—it varies from person to person. For some women, mutual feelings might click after the second date, while others, who are extremely cautious, might need up to ten dates before they’re ready to consider a relationship.
Every woman has her own pace when it comes to the timing of a confession or the number of dates needed before agreeing to a relationship. Misreading this timing could undo all the effort you've put into your dates so far.
This is why consultants at marriage agencies check in with both parties to find the perfect moment for a successful confession.
Seeking Advice to Ensure a Successful Confession
If you're working with a marriage agency, I highly recommend consulting your matchmaker. After a successful first date (or omiai), there comes a time when you start wondering if it's the right moment to propose a serious relationship. In a marriage agency setting, the consultants exchange information about the feelings of both parties, which is difficult to gauge on your own. Before you confess, talk to your consultant—they can check with the woman’s consultant to see where her feelings lie.
If the woman’s consultant confirms that she feels the same way, your consultant can advise you to confidently propose a serious relationship at the next date.
However, it’s not always that simple.
When a man decides he wants a serious relationship and consults his matchmaker, they often hear back from the woman’s side: "She hasn’t developed feelings for him yet. Three dates aren't enough to understand his thoughts on marriage or his values, and she wants to talk more before deciding."
In such cases, the man is advised to invite her on more dates to discuss their views on marriage and values. He’s told not to rush the confession and to wait until her feelings are more certain.
It’s challenging for men to gauge the right timing for a confession. Men have their own feelings and timing, and when they’re told to wait, it can shake their confidence. They begin to doubt whether the woman likes them and what they need to do to win her over.
Women should understand this struggle and not keep a man waiting if they’re interested. If a woman changes her mind after the man’s feelings have cooled, it might be too late.
For men facing these challenges, I hope this article on 'Signs a Woman Shows Only to the Man She’s Interested In' will be helpful.
3 Signs a Woman Shows Only to the Man She’s Serious About
Observing women in the early stages of dating reveals certain behaviors and vibes that indicate interest. Here are three clear signs, even men can easily recognize, that show she’s interested.
These are actions women only show to the man they’re seriously interested in, so if you want to avoid a rejection after confessing, or you’re unsure about her feelings early in dating, or if you’ve been advised to delay your confession but are worried about the timing, read on.
Sign #1: She Shares Her Schedule with You
One of the clearest signs that a woman is interested is when she shares her available days with you.
Some women have regular days off on weekends or holidays, while others work on shifts and have irregular days off. If she voluntarily tells you when she's free, take it as a sign she’s interested. If she wasn’t interested, she wouldn’t share her schedule.
The reason she shares her days off is because she wants to go on a date with you.
If she tells you her available days and you like her too, you should invite her out on a day that suits both of you.
I’ll say it again: women don’t share their schedules with men they’re not interested in. If you ask, "Are you free this weekend?" or "When are your days off?" and she responds with, "I might be busy that day," or "I’m not sure yet, I have other plans," she’s likely just making excuses to avoid you.
Some men take these responses at face value and wait for the next opportunity, but these are just polite refusals. Don’t believe them.
However, if you really can’t let go, you can try asking again the following week. If you get the same response, it’s 100% a no-go.
Men, if she really wants to see you, she’ll suggest an alternative day. Women who truly want to see someone will be proactive.
If there’s no follow-up from her, and she just says, "It’s difficult that day," without suggesting another time, it’s safe to assume she’s not interested.
If you keep inviting her and waiting for a response that never comes, you’re just wasting your time. If she doesn’t agree after three invitations, it’s time to move on.
Sign #2: She Talks About the People Around Her
The second sign that a woman is interested is when she starts talking about the people around her.
Just like you, she wants the person she likes to know more about her and understand her better. That’s why she’ll start talking about her family, friends, and colleagues.
For example, she might say, "I have a friend named A who I've been close with since high school, and we still hang out a lot." Sharing details about her friends is a sign she trusts you.
If she’s still wary of you and doesn’t trust you, she won’t bring up personal topics. If you notice that she’s starting to talk more about these things, it’s a sign she’s interested.
Sign #3: She Changes How She Addresses You
Finally, the third sign a woman is serious about you is when she changes how she addresses you.
In Japanese culture, people usually address each other by their last names with "san" when they first meet or at an omiai. However, this can be different if you're a foreigner, as many Japanese people assume that foreigners are more informal and use first names right away.
When a woman starts developing feelings for a man, she often wants to change the way they address each other to something more intimate.
If she suggests this change, take it as a sign she’s interested. Women don’t suggest changing how they address someone unless they’re serious about them. When she starts feeling more for a man, she doesn’t want to be just another person addressed the same way as everyone else. She wants to feel special and share a unique way of addressing each other.
This suggestion means, "I want to get closer to you."
Some men, especially when they meet a woman for the first time, might casually use her first name, thinking it will bring them closer. However, this isn’t the same as when a woman suggests it. For men, it’s often just a way to make it seem like they’re getting along when they’re not actually close yet. Women usually find it "creepy" when a man they’ve only just met or gone on one date with starts using their first name casually.
So, until she suggests changing how you address each other, it’s better to avoid being too familiar with her name.
Other signs that a woman is interested might include quicker replies, more frequent communication, her initiating dates, or increased physical contact.
If you notice the three signs mentioned in this article, it’s safe to say your relationship is progressing well.
If you only see one sign, it’s better to wait and observe before confessing. But if you see two or more, it’s likely that she’s interested in you.
However, remember that these are just signs. Only the two of you can know the right timing for a confession, so the final decision is yours.
If you’re unsure, talk to your consultant about her behavior and actions. They might be able to give you some insight into whether she’s interested.
If you see multiple signs, it could be a good indication that she’ll respond positively to your confession.
Use these tips to gain confidence and express your feelings when you’re sure she’s interested.
That’s all for today—three signs women show early in dating that indicate they’re interested.
