The Third Date Rule is a social norm suggesting that couples should wait until the third date before engaging in sexual activity.

"If you want to sleep with someone on the first date – go for it. If you believe the third date rule works for you – continue what you’re doing. But my point is, this third date rule isn’t a rule that everyone should pressured to conform to. Do what you want to do, when it feels right, and don’t feel influenced by someone’s demands or beliefs of what’s acceptable to do at each stage of your dating life. Dating should be fun and exciting – not pressurising."
