Other ambiguities the survey has cleared up for us: You should stop seeing other people after six dates, and it's okay to start throwing "boyfriend" out after nine.

Read More »If you're single and going on dates, one question is guaranteed to be mixed in with the what to wears and when to texts: How many dates should occur before one of you suggests that tonight be The Night (you know, to get it on)? Thankfully, Time Out has polled more than 11,000 people in 24 cities around the world to help put this question to rest. Singles everywhere have decided that 3.53 dates is just long enough for one of you to throw out the idea of going home together without seeming like a horn-dog. If you're ready to get friendly after one night, though, it might not go over well: Only 1 in 10 people surveyed consider sex a reasonable request at the end of the first date (although 20 percent have ended up in the buff after one dinner, so, it seems like some of us need to tighten our resolve). As for other endings to an evening, over half of us kiss goodnight after a first date, while just under a quarter are stuck instead with an awkward goodbye (we're lookin' at you, handshake). Twenty-eight percent say their first dates often end in disappointment, but almost half have already talked about a second date. But the survey also says you'll probably know which side of the spectrum you're on almost immediately: Almost half of respondents said they know if they want a second date only two to three minutes into the first one (that's faster than your entire gym warm-up!). Other ambiguities the survey has cleared up for us: You should stop seeing other people after six dates, and it's okay to start throwing "boyfriend" out after nine. And it's okay to do some light stalking before the first date-more than half of singles in cities across the world investigate their date online before the big night. As for who we're dating, one in five of the people surveyed have dated a friend's ex, while one in 10 have dated their own boss. Thirty-eight percent of people, though, have dated someone who is in another relationship already-41 percent of whom are already married! Every city except for Paris cites online dating as the best way to score Friday night plans. And while Tinder may have changed the dating game forever, people are actually happiest going old school with good ol' setups: 62 percent of people say their most enjoyable dates are with someone they've met through friends.

When it comes to forming new relationships or friendship, people usually base their first impression off of how the other person makes them feel. If they’re nice to you, you start to believe that this could be something long lasting and if they’re not, you’re often left wondering just why they weren’t. Though you can sometimes walk away not knowing that a person isn’t a fan of you, it is common knowledge that people crossing their arms while speaking to you or looking elsewhere when doing the same are ways to know that your hopeful new relationships isn’t going far. According to international consultant, speaker, host, and best-selling author Ali Craig, however, there are plenty of indicators that someone may not be fond of you the way you are of them. "Believe it or not, the distance someone keeps from you, whether or not their arms are crossed, lack of eye contact, forced smiles and other nonverbal behaviors can and sometimes are indicators as to whether or not someone likes you," she said. "This is not always the case, however, and just like any rule, there are always exceptions. But many times, if people are displaying two, three or four of the signs listed below, there’s a good chance they might consider you a foe versus friend." Although creating new bonds are often beneficial, here are 10 ways to know that your efforts to form a new relationship won’t go the way you expected.
