At what point do you think it would be "safe" to start learning a third language?
At this point, I've spent 7 intensive months studying French and I've gotten to a pretty solid intermediate level. I'd like to begin learning another language, but I wouldn't want to rush into it and end up hindering my progress in French.

I think this depends on what language you're going to start learning. There is a risk that you will confuse and mix up the two but this risk is greatly reduced if the language isn't similar to French, I don't think that you would have any problems with German or Mandarin. Personally I am trying to learn French and Italian but I've decided to focus on my French for now and then when I've reached some sort of fluency start with Italian since the languages are pretty similar and I ended up confusing them a bit. This might also vary from person to person, you can always give another language a try and see if it works out or not!

I realy think that the right moment is when you feel very comfortable with your second language. At the point that all you need is a little bit of practice sometimes. At this point, when you learn a third language you will not feel like you are losing something from the previous language. I talk by my own experience, having portuguese as native and english as second language, I'm focusing now in french.
