A concept has emerged suggesting that going on eight dates can be a determining factor in deciding if two people are compatible and ready for marriage. Some outlets are discussing this idea in relation to a new drama series called Two Years Later, while others are sharing personal anecdotes or general advice on when to get engaged. The idea's validity is being debated, with some finding it "wild" and others considering it "genius" after seeing it play out in real life or in the context of the show.
