In the early stages of dating

How often do/did you see each other? How often did you talk on the phone? How often did you text? Just wondering if there is some sort of average here. More curiosity than anything else.

Re: In the early stages of dating

  • We saw each other about the same as we do now, once or twice during the week and on the weekends. We text everyday but the only change is we use to spend hours on the phone talking almost every night in the very early stages.

  • In the early stages we texted/emailed or called every day, this started about 3 weeks into it. Sometimes we would talk for a while, some days it was one simple text message. We were getting to know each other, but we were not up each other's butts.

    ETA: We saw each other 1 -2 times a week in the begining. We slowly added more time. After meeting and slowly spending more time with DD we now see each other 4-5 times a week.

  • We saw each other probably 4 or more times a week, since we both basically live at our dance studio in the evenings haha.  We would chat on the phone the evenings that we didn't get to see each other.  We were really good friends before we started dating, though, so our relationship was immediately serious...there was no need to do the "getting to know you" phase, since we already knew each other!
  • When we first started dating, we saw each other nearly everyday, but he and I work out together. (At that time I didn't know we were dating)  I just thought he wanted to be a work-out buddy. HA HA.

    It is rare when we actually speak to one another on the phone, unless we are out of town and we want to say "good night." 

    I am a HUGE texter and I explained this when we first met, so we would text throughout the day.

    They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
  • we saw each other pretty much every day, we work next door to each other, and then we'd make it so we could see each other at least one day on the weekend, we emailed, texted, and talked on the phone daily. 

    we were exceptionally serious from the get go, we both knew it was the real thing and couldn't and still can't get enough of each other.  

  • How often do/did you see each other? How often did you talk on the phone? How often did you text? Just wondering if there is some sort of average here. More curiosity than anything else.

    We pretty much saw each other every day because my house is on his way home so even if he just stopped by for a half hour, we still saw each other.

    We send maybe 5 texts in a day to each other.  

    Talked on the phone before bed most nights.

    It's pretty similar to the same thing we do now.

  • In the very beginning we would only talk or text every couple of days. He was really busy at work and we both wanted to take things slowly. And we probably saw each other once or twice a week. 

    After 3 or so months we would talk on the phone either once a day or every other day and text a couple times throughout the day. He's not a big phone talker AT ALL (good in person, but not on the phone) and it's just easier for both of us to text. We'd see each other about 2-3 times a week.

    About 4 or 5 months in we'd text pretty regulalry throughout the day and I started spending weekends at his place. Then probably 8 or so months in I started spending most nights of the week there (maybe 4-5 nights).

    This was a slower progression for me than in past relationships, and I'm really glad we did things that way. There were times it drove me batty - I can be pretty impatient - but it let our relationship have space to grow.

  • FI and I saw each other usually on the weekends and one night during the week to hang out. We didn't text/talk on the phone very much because neither of us are phone talkers. We spent this amount of time together for about the first 6 months or so and it progressed to a few times during the week.
  • When i first started seeing my BF, he kept it pretty minimal because he wasn't ready for a huge commitment. We would talk A LOT over e-mail though which actually helped us to get to know each other a lot better. I wanted to spend all my time with him, but (looking back at it now) i'm glad he put on the brakes since my relationship with my XH moved so fast. Almost 3 years later, and I just moved in with him and am happy as can be! It's good to have time for yourself, no matter how crazy you are about your SO.
    I wouldn't change a thing...it's all led me to you.
