Is It OK To Take Down Your Online Dating Profile After Going On Three Dates With Someone?

Is It OK To Take Down Your Online Dating Profile After Going On Three Dates With Someone?

It is, as long as you don’t expect the other person to take down their online dating profile as well.

When you do something like this and expect the other person that you have been on three dates with to do the same, you will be putting a lot of stress on your interaction with this person.

You should also understand that by taking down your online dating profile after going on three dates with someone, you could be setting some very strong expectations for how you want this interaction to turn out.

By setting these kind of expectations, you may start acting in an unnatural way in order to move the interaction faster towards what you want out of it.

Now that you would have taken down your online dating profile, your entire focus will be on this one interaction with this one person.

This means that you are putting all of your romantic hopes on this interaction.

Again, the danger of putting yourself in this position is that you could begin to try to speed up the interaction and force it toward a romantic relationship unnaturally.

You are now solely focused on this interaction and thereby you don’t have any distraction.

In other words, there is no one else that you are talking to romantically from the online dating site.

You have put all of your time investment on this and as a result you are going to be very unwilling to let it fail.

When you begin to put pressure on the interaction because you want it to move quicker, you may turn off the person that you are dating.

The person went on three dates with you for a reason.

There is something about you that has intrigued them and they may want to gradually learn more and more about you.

This person may now set up the fourth date with you after having had a good first three dates.

However, now that you have taken down your online dating profile, you may go to that fourth date but you may act in a different way.

Though you may have been yourself in the first three dates, you may start acting a little stressed or uneasy in your fourth date.

In the back of your mind, you know that you have taken down your online dating profile and you are wondering if your date is going to take down their online dating profile soon.

You may even allude to this during the course of conversation very indirectly. Your date may not have quite understood what you were alluding to and just let it go.

However, you have just applied undue pressure on this interaction based on the fact that you are now worrying about whether this other person is also going to take down their online dating profile.

By the time you get to the fifth date and you know that this person still has an active online dating profile because you have been checking it incessantly each day, you may really become incredibly stressed.

You may find it really hard to be yourself at this fifth date.

You may find it hard to even keep a conversation going because your mind keeps going back to the fact that this person that you are now on a fifth date with still has an active online dating profile.

This person will notice that there is something wrong and may ask you about it.

However, you aren’t quite sure about how to bring up the topic about this person’s active online dating profile, so you try to avoid the question and simply give some kind of excuse.

You may end up not getting a sixth date with this person because they sense that you are no longer the fun person you were in the first three dates.

Hence, this person decides to stop interacting with you altogether.

This is a scenario that you truly need to take into account before taking down your online dating profile after having had three dates.

If you feel that you can do it without expectations simply because you want to see how things go with this current person, then you may be alright in taking down your online dating profile.

However, if you want to take down your online dating profile because you feel this premature certainty that this other person will do the same, you may be better off leaving your online dating profile up for now.
