Doubts during early dating - views?

[Casperandme]

Interested in views regarding a disagreement between two friends (neither being me) as I'm not sure what I think. Friend A has asked my views at painful and a bit boring length and I'm not sure what to say.

Friend A met someone on OLD. Really liked date one, and felt besotted after date two, even telling me the other person would be relationship material. Was distracted and giddy and almost a week passed between date two and three. Described date three as being good but not great and voiced concerns about the person being less compatible/perfect (their word) that they'd thought, but that they still liked them. Also said that the person they dated had a couple of personality flaws they weren't sure about.

For various reasons if Friend A pursues this person it will require some sacrifices on their part including a probable LTR if it works out, hence us being asked.

Friend B, when told, was of the view that friend A should cut their losses now because A is in la-la land about this person and that if they have doubts now they'll only grow. B thinks that if you're not still besotted at date three it's doomed.

Friend C thinks B is a mean old cynic and A should keep dating because they may rediscover the thing they initially saw and even though pursuing a relationship would require sacrifice on A's part it's worth it for luuurve.

I have no idea.

What do you think? If you have doubts in the first few dates can it be redeemed?

Sorry - LDR not LTR!

LTR unless it's the most perfect situation ever in every other way would make me cut my losses now.

haha I copied the ltr but also meant ldr

I don’t understand the sacrifices and probable LTR aspect

What are the flaws?

Ah ok

Sorry - I meant it would involve a long distance relationship within the next little while and spending time with new person rather than pursuing a hobby

Doubts and LDR sounds grim

Could work out fine though

Sorry not helpful I realise

Think it depends on what the flaws are really. When I was OLD I was at a place in my life at that point where I wasn’t bothered about a long term relationship and quite content on my own burn metrimg someone would be nice. I was pretty ruthless. I wasn’t prepared to settled and didn’t see guys again for the smallest thing that I may have overlooked at a different point in my life.

They early days are supposed to be easy and fun and showing the best representation of yourself. If there are serious flaws showing already I’m not sure I’d stick around to see what else was lurking.

Cut her losses and run, besotted on date two and unsure after date 3? Listen to that feeling

Never ignore that low, rumbling grumble of doubt.

I think A, B, and C should all chill the heck out, give their heads a wobble and remember is been THREE DATES!

A doesn't have to consider his relationship worthy ness just yet, or whether she'd accept a long distance relationship, or whether she's going to make sacrifices for him..... because neither of them know one another or know what dates 4, 5, and 6 will bring!

If the datee in this scenario read this, I bet he'd run a mile!

Its three dates.

Everyone needs to chill.

Good grief. It's 2 dates. I think your friend should have fun, get to know him and then decide and her friends should let her be.

Everyone needs to chill.

Yes. Agree.

As must I, I suppose!

A is the sort of person who likes to deconstruct everything and I think it's too easy sometimes to get sucked into her dramas. I don't like it at all but that's a whole other thread.

If A carries on like this I doubt it will be her decision to make.

3 dates is nothing. Everyone back off and chill out.

3 dates and doubts already.
Friend B is correct.

Any red flags in the early days, walk away. What's the point of doing otherwise?
