Welcome to Comparing Notes.

I'm Allie from Finding Mr. Wright.

And I'm Talia from dating intentionally.

And we're teaming up to support you beyond the early stages of dating and through the different stages of a new

relationship. Yeah, we both have a ton of experience going on, lots of dates that actually led to

getting into long-term relationships. So we're super excited to share our wisdom with you to help you

avoid some of the pitfalls and anxiety spirals along the way. Yeah, in part one, we talked about what to

expect in the first three months of a

relationship, and we'll link that in the notes below. And this second episode in our three-part

series is going to cover the six-month point in a relationship. We're getting into when to

discuss timelines, what happens when you start to get really comfy with each other, and all the

first that come with being in a relationship for six months. Before we jump into our experiences with this, we did a few polls again

because I think they're just so interesting. We did a few more for the six month mark.

The first one being, do you know if someone is marriage material six months in?

Everything we are sharing this episode is like it's like general guidelines, just kind of an idea of things. It is not like if you're not doing this by six months, your relationship is bad or wrong or doomed. It's just kind of like what we experience and I think what a general experience is. And you can kind of use that to gauge what you want to be happy in your relationship.

Yeah, and I think part of what the polls were meant to illustrate is that people have different

opinions on these things. And it's like, that's kind of the point. Like people were writing,

at least to my polls, people were DMing me being like, well, how am I supposed to know?

Or like to another one, well, it could be any of

these. And it's like, yeah, that's the point. So for my results, 35% said yes. You will know if someone

is long-term commitment marriage material by six months. Forty-two percent said maybe. So I guess

we had some people on the fence. And 16% said need more time. And I think the 42% people, it's like, well, it depends on what we've done by then. It depends on how close we've gone or like just what we've experienced together. Yeah, I had actually 55% of people say yes. Whoa. But then 35% maybe and then the rest like not sure need more time. Yeah. And a lot of people
