How many dates until...

Ok so I'm curious, how many dates do you normally go on before you:

Kiss
Hold hands
consider yourself "bf and gf"
etc. anything else you can think of.

I'm seeing this girl and we're going on a third date tonight, we're both kind of shy though so we haven't done any of that! We did hug afterward...but I don't think that means much.
So when is it appropriate to do that? Ladies, any signs to watch for to know that she may want to hold hands or something :)

Do you guys have any chemistry.

Kiss... about the second/third date.
Hold hands... about four/five weeks of dating...actual dates, not just talking.
Bf or gf... about one/two months....of a relationship.

Clues:
1: Constant eye contact for kissing or putting on makeup constantly, or eating gum.
2: Body language, is she provoking you to feel warm/excited/worried/afraid. How close is she to you when your taking. ex: when eating, sitting in front of you, nothing. sitting nx to you, wants something.
3: to hold hands, playing w finguers, looking at your hands w/out you notecing. But watch out.

What have u guys done so far?

A hug at this point is appropriate. On the kissing, depends on what kind - if you want to do the ol "french", I'd hold off a bit. Holding hands, appropriate within a month (depending on how often you see each other weekly). One thing you can consider, is when you both are talking, if she is facing you, grab her hand and hold it, especially if you both are talking something "heavy". That will clue you in on her comfort zone. As far as when is the right time, it honestly varies from person to person, the bottom line is when YOU BOTH ARE READY!

Remember one thing though, you aren't boyfriend and girlfriend (exclusive), until you both sit down and talk about it. Don't assume anything, it will get you in hot water. That talk is a necessary part of the relationship, and I'd say the BF and GF stage of a relationship is 2-3 months, anything sooner than that, you're moving way too fast.

If the first date doesn't end with an 8-hour sex-a-thon ... move along.

lmao. noted.

Also, I'm new to the dating thing. All the girls I've been with we never had this dating stage so I'm really at a loss as to when I should do things. I've never taken things slow and so I don't know if we're going TOO slow :P

about two years ago I was in the place you were - I hadn't dated in 11 years. It sucks at first trying to figure everything out. The best advice I can offer is just do things as you feel comfortable doing them. There's no map or directions to this game. It's all a "feel" thing. Good luck!

Its really subjective when to do what. It helps if one person has the courage to go for it,be it a kiss or holding hands, but if both are not like that then it can be confusing. I'm notorious for not taking opportunities. I tend to let the woman set the pace. But sometimes it just feels okay and you try it. If she doesn't go for it, no worries. Just apologize and give her time to get more comfortable. Some people have no problems with this, they will just reach out and grab you, kiss you, whatever. That's great as long as their date feels the same way. How many times have you heard a woman say,"I just wanted to give him a little kiss and he tried to jam his tongue down my throat!" Surf some dating tips online, there are great answers online from people who have studied this stuff and know what they are talking about. Its not the be all end all, but its a good start.
good luck
