What is a reasonable time in the evening to meet up

[Secondsight]

If you are dating and see each other once during the week what would you consider a reasonable time to meet. Both finish work at 5.30. When would you see it as too late what would your cut off be?

We tended to go for about 7.30 - allows for time to get home, shower, change and get back out. We lived 45 mins apart when we started dating.

8 would be the latest I think

Depends when you get home and if you are going out or staying in. Plus when you both like to eat etc.

Why?!

Would go as late as 9 -10pm for an hour or 2 in a nice wine bar or some such.

Oh it depends how old you both are

I'm in bed by ten these days

I’d say about 7, no later than 8 really.

I probably wouldn’t have a ‘cut off’ if I really wanted to see them, but generally I’d say 8pm is a good time to meet.

Depends what you're both doing, before and after meeting up, what time you have to get up for work etc.

If you finish work at 5.30pm and then both go to your respective homes (how long is the commute?) , I guess a shower and a change, then head out it doesn't need to be much later than 7pm but if he's going to the gym or something, then it would depend on that.

If you're eating separately I suppose then 8pm.

If its much later it starts getting into booty call territory, not that there's anything wrong with that if you want it, but its not a date night then is it?!

If he's coming to stay the night and you don't have to be up early then you get a few more hours, but if you're meeting somewhere else and want to be home and in bed at a sensible hour, its a different situation entirely.

Yes we generally meet on a Friday at 9 because he goes to a running group and then spend all day Saturday and until lunch time Sunday and I'm happy with that. We only live 30 mins away. He likes coming to mine more.
I just feel in the week if it's later than say 8.30 it's not much you can do and it's not long before bed time.

Yes agree with you unless one of you is staying over

At that point me and now dh met Wednesdays and staying over and then the weekend was pretty much as you describe

I do miss the nights off though!
