most of you suggested, it is allowed in christianity.
Now the question arises, does bible also allow us to have sexual relationships before marriage. (i am thinkin about the second or third date)

Along with all other kinds of sexual immorality, sex before marriage / premarital sex is repeatedly condemned in Scripture (Acts 15:20; Romans 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13,18; 7:2; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7). The Bible promotes abstinence before marriage. Sex before marriage is just as wrong as adultery and other forms of sexual immorality, because they all involve having sex with someone you are not married to. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations that God approves of (Hebrews 13:4).

The Bible isn't intended to allow and disallow specific things anymore.
Somewhere in the Bible, men are disallowed to cut the hair on their sideburns. Another verse prohibits men being in contact with women who are on their period. Do we really subscribe to the Bible as though it's a rulebook? Only the ignorant among us.
The Bible is a guide to CRITICAL THINKING about how to live in harmony with our fellow people. It's not a rulebook. Want more examples? Take this fellow's letter to Dr. Laura:
"I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.
a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?"

No. God has limited sexuality to the marriage bed. That's why fornication and adultery are sins. Many Christians will tell you otherwise, and they certainly practice otherwise, but that doesn't make it right. If you're going to have sex before marriage (or already have) God will forgive you, but remember forgiveness eliminates penalty, not consequence.

Go to a duck pond and feed the geese then have a picnic, or cross to a skating rink. bowling, or mini golf, with ice cream afterwards. Never film and dinner for first date. It's high-priced and you do not get to speak for your date.

No. Premarital sex is a sin in Christianity. Go read the Bible.
2nd or 3rd date?! THAT'S WAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO SOON!

No, it's not alright. Post-marital relations only.
