"Situationships always seem to sneak up out of nowhere. One day, you're on a first date with someone you think is cute. Next thing you know, six months have gone by, and you're still not sure where the relationship is going. The TikTok-viral "3-3-3 rule" for dating is set up to prevent this very thing from happening. The idea is to re-evaluate your connection after three dates, three weeks, and three months to see if it's actually working for you or realize if it's totally wasting your time."
"On the app, creator @kaylena____ said the 3-3-3 rule is perfect for anyone who moves too fast, ignores red flags, or constantly finds themselves in situationships. According to Kaylena, the first three dates are just supposed to be a "vibe check" to see if you get along or if you get the ick. If all goes well and you keep going out, you should check in again at the three-week mark. Do you like how you feel around them? If so, keep going."
The 3-3-3 rule creates clear milestones to reassess a developing connection at three dates, three weeks, and three months. Three dates act as a vibe check to allow nerves to settle and see if attraction or compatibility emerges. The three-week checkpoint focuses on how the relationship makes you feel day-to-day and whether interactions remain positive. The three-month mark serves as a decision point about pursuing a committed relationship or stepping away. The rule helps people who move quickly, overlook red flags, or repeatedly land in situationships by encouraging intentional evaluation and boundaries.
