How long before you say 'yes' to the guy courting you?

Call me traditional or whatever but I've always been quite stiff when it comes to relationships. I'm not saying I'm all idealistic about it, but I've always thought of each relationship as something that should last. I've never been a player, neither have I attempted to go into flings. I'm not an oldmaid type either because I always give chance to guys who'd like to take me out or get to know me better. But when I say 'yes', I really mean it. I'm not the type who says 'yes' then changes her mind. As for how long, I need a few weeks or months before I decide. By the way, during the deciding period, I'm not fond of accepting gifts, nor accepting favors. How about you? How long before you say 'yes' to the guy courting you? Or are you those who court guys instead?

i don't court to guys and well i don't let my yes drift that long. because if i love and like the guy that much i would directly say yes. and that means i am true to him not just kidding around. but it always ends up me being fooled around. well that's life right? but i don't stop loving and give myself chances that maybe soon i could find the right one. jhelai

Well, perhaps then you should give your emotion the back seat next time, and let him wait.

Hi there laydee!Ü Relationships are really worth treasuring.Ü I am happy on how you view it. I usually say yes after 2 years of getting-to-know each other. Yeah, pretty long huh? I guess i just want to have someone who has the patience and someone who can prove me that i am his only one.

Not really too long, well, it's already considered 'long' these days when women pursue men. It's good that you don't rush at relationships and have respect for yourself as well. Keep up the good work!

This is a very interesting question. Actually I finally said yes to him (my husband now) after 5 years later. As when I started to know him, I was broken up with another one and I was quite sad at that time. So I just needed to have peaceful days and waited until my heart was mended. I am serious to the relationship. This is why I hardly said yes. As well as you, when I said yes, I also meant it. I love China

Hmmm.. It's quite amazing that after 5 years his commitment to pursuing you hasn't receded.
