The candy-bouquet period is in vain considered a protracted prelude to sex, although in fact this time is needed to get to know another person and there is no universal recipe and time frame here.
It cannot be said unequivocally that in this period of the relationship ten dates should happen, during which three bouquets, seven boxes of chocolates should be presented, five cafes, two cinemas, three restaurants and five parks should be visited. Each girl herself designates for herself the alleged framework of the candy-bouquet period.
Candy-bouquet period - a state of mind
If people like each other, then one or two dates can go through, after which the girl will want to make love with such a nice man for her. At the same time, if a man is adequate, there will be no condemnation on his part, which many girls secretly fear. Moreover, but it also depends on specific people, the candy-bouquet period does not have to end after the first night spent together. After all, this awkward concept simply denotes a special period in the relationship between a man and a woman, when it is already clear that this person is "yours" in terms of emotions, feelings, similar cultural baggage, but still a lot is unknown about him, while every time you think about this person is accompanied by a flash of tenderness or even euphoria.
Do not think that the girl who prefers to have sex after the first or second date is flawed or ill-mannered. More often than not, this line of behavior is a deliberate choice.
With all this, sometimes the platonic candy-bouquet period can last for several months, while sexual attraction between people may not arise. Moreover, often it does not arise in a girl in relation to a man, when she sees in her boyfriend only a friend, but not a man. In this case, it is very important to inform him in time that there are no romantic feelings. Otherwise, the continuation of the relationship in a candy-bouquet style is simply unethical. Do not give false hope once again.
Arithmetic mean period
Both options are, of course, extremes.
Despite the fact that the period bears the title of "candy-bouquet", few girls like it when flowers are presented to them before a date, because there are often problems with where to put this bouquet.
On average, the candy-bouquet period lasts from several weeks to a couple of months, during this time people get to know each other, imbued with sympathy and trust, and set the necessary accents and priorities. It is best not to force such a period, but also not to prolong it. That is why you should not visit bars and pubs during this period, because under the influence of alcohol, wrong decisions can be made, which can then be greatly regretted.
