Three-Month Rule: After a Break-Up Basically, after a break-up, the three-month rule is a rule that says you and your ex are both given 3 months before entering the dating scene again.

So what exactly is the three-month rule anyway?

As far as I know there are 2 types: After a Break-Up, and During Dating. While you are busy reading this article, try mo rin makinig sa episode namin:

Three-Month Rule: After a Break-Up

This one was introduced and oriented to me by my friends.

Basically, after a break-up, the three-month rule is a rule that says you and your ex are both given 3 months before entering the dating scene again. Just waiting it out, and mourning that your relationship ended. Just go on with your individual separate lives and see what happens. To some this may be just a short period of time, while it may mean otherwise to others. In any case, after the third month, if you BOTH find that you’re still in love with your exes, then you might consider trying to work it out again. If only one of you feels something and the other doesn’t, then it may no longer be worth a shot for a second chance. In addition, if you’re certain that you no longer feel anything towards your ex partner, then it’s the accepted time that you’re allowed to date again. Having this rule is more or less about mutual respect, and about the healing process for both parties. It’s a safe approach in ending a relationship I guess and to avoid that horrible feeling, for example you saw your boyfriend or girlfriend dating already the next day after a 5-year relationship. Because let’s face it, seeing your past love date someone after a few days or weeks from your break-up tears you into a million pieces.

So there. The first type of the Three-Month Rule.

Now, on to the next one.

Three-Month Rule: During Dating

Suppose you are dating someone right now, but you’ve only known the person recently. This three-month rule is to slap you from the mirage you might be experiencing. First impressions honestly, barely last. In reality, when you are attracted to someone whether physically, emotionally or whatsoever, your mind is being deceived that everything that the person does is cute, and you actually see them as the person you want them to be. So the three months is just an ample amount of time for you to see the person and yourself impartially. Is he/she is really that nice? What less desirable traits does he/she have? Do I really like this person? Are we compatible? Is sex all he/she’s after? Would I want this person to be a part of my life for months and years to come? Of course getting to know the person longer is ideal, but three months is just the right time to get you pass the honeymoon stage. When after all is said and done after those three months, it’s up to you on whether or not you want to continue entertaining the person or put a period on it early on.

Can someone fall in love in a week?

Case in point: An 2018 survey of 1,000 British men and women found that while more than half of them take over three months to say, "I love you," 32% of women and 29% of men say it in one to three months—and 10% of women and 14% of men say it in just one to four weeks.

mindbodygreen.com - How Long Does It Take To Fall In Love? What Research & Experts Say

One 2017 survey found 72% of men and 61% of women believe in love at first sight, and a 2004 study found about a third of Americans say they've personally experienced it. There's some science that backs up the concept: Some research suggests people decide within seconds whether they're romantically interested in someone, and neurologically speaking, it takes only one-fifth of a second for the neurochemical reaction associated with feelings of love to fire off. But other research discounts the theory. A 2017 study in the Personal Relationships journal orchestrated a bunch of first encounters between single strangers, and the researchers found feelings of instant attraction can indeed happen in a first encounter. Some people described these feelings as "love at first sight"—however, these people didn't report feelings of intimacy, passion, and commitment as part of their experience. The main predictor of a "love at first sight" experience was finding the other person physically attractive. In other words, romantic love usually cannot happen at first sight, psychologist and sex therapist Lauren Fogel Mersy, PsyD, explains to mbg. "There can be a strong attraction at first sight, but romantic love for someone requires knowing who they are, the fullness of their character."
