what age did you get married?
With the right person they csn happen during the first phone call or in person date. It's different with everyone, but on my experience the sooner these conversations arise, the better the relationship. If someone has trouble having deep discussions early on, it may be indicative of aspects of their personality that don't along with you (since you are eager).
Think of it as weeding out the people who don’t want the same things as you, which is good to know. You generally can have the conversation within the first few dates. You don’t need to say “I want to be in a long term relationship with you” but you can say you’re dating with the intention of finding a long term relationship.
Conversation Starter
On the timeline portion of your question - I feel this is not the same for every relationship. Some people could be dating later in their lives, and then could get into deeper talks very quick bc they both are thinking my age is older and I need to be in this for marriage, etc. generally, younger relationships don’t get into deeper talks as quick.
For me - it’s taken 2.5 years to get deeper with my SO. We’re 27 years old, had a wonderful honeymoon phase, but now we’re starting to think about the end goal of marriage, working through things that are key to us individually, and as a relationship together. Some examples could be - expectations of the future, career plans, true wants of their partner, things that are bothering you that your partner does, things you want your partner to do more, things you want to improve on in your relationship, sex life, etc.
From your point - I’d reflect on your relationships, what type of partner is your SO (does it seem more superficial, are they a deeper type of relationship person? - have they been in long relationships / short, idk). Each relationship is different so there’s not 1 end all be answer - but if you’re recognizing you may bring it up early in relationships, a pattern, then maybe you are putting too much pressure on an early relationship, causing a bit of a freak out from your SO. I’d reflect what type of relationships are they (deeper relationships from the get go? i.e, you and your partner seem to be a really good match, similar interests, etc.) and then to not put too much pressure on the relationship early.
Best of luck
In contrast, if it feels very flirty and fun the entire time, I assume they never want to go deeper and it is a casual thing. I’m not sure what a good gauge is that things are going well.
