If You Want A New Relationship To Work, You Should Wait Until Date 5 Before Doing This!

It's all about timing!

If you want your relationship to work wait until date five before sleeping together, according to new research.

Becoming an official boyfriend or girlfriend should come in after around two months of dating,  but couples need to wait five months before revealing their past partners or talking about incomes.

And if you want the relationship to work, don’t introduce a partner to your parents until at least 4 months in, according to the timeline.

A new survey looked at a timeline for when events should occur for the perfect relationship based on their experiences.

When feeling brave, Americans think it’s ok to dole out criticism on how a partner dresses after just two months and nine days on average, according to results.
