“Four to five days of chatting before you initiate the date is often the sweet spot. It gives you enough time to build that foundation of trust, but its not so long that the momentum drops off.”

How long is the talking stage?

Some would say that on average the talking stage lasts for about 5 to 6 weeks. This could be a good timeframe for many people to get to know someone. When it comes to time, the thing that may make a difference is how well the two people know each other.

Should I wait for him to confirm date?

Yes, you do always want to confirm a date ahead of time, even if other folks tell you otherwise. Confirming your date is polite, it shows interest, it avoids miscommunications, and it puts your mind at ease.
