Curious - non-clicky poll - how often do you see SO?
If you are in a relationship, how often do you see each other? This is of course assuming that you don't live together. Do you spend weekends together? Days and nights? Weekends only? I'm just curious. I know that there isn't a "norm", I'm just wondering what everyone else does.

Re: Curious - non-clicky poll - how often do you see SO?
With my XBF, we saw each other 6 out of 7 days. Also we would only hang out on the weeknights and weekend nights since he worked 7 days a week during the day. It was a LOT and I was not ready for it. I felt like I didnt have enough free time and I was suffocating, which is just one of the many reasons I ended it.
I think for me, ideal would be 3-4 nights a week once in a steady serious relationship and as the time goes on, probably more.
Well, here's the thing. BF is a bartender at a place that I frequent, which is right near my work. I'm there a lot for happy hour/dinner with various friends, so I'm around him, but it's not exactly quality time. He does usually stop by after his shift for a while -- I'm sleepy and wonky, but he likes to come over to kiss me goodnight and just decompress for a little.
On weekends, we generally spend Friday nights together, Saturday afternoons doing our own thing, Saturday late night together (he's got a radio show that goes until 11 p.m. on Saturdays) and a good portion of Sunday.
It's tough having opposite schedules, but we make it work.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Before we lived together I would be at his place probably 4-5 nights in a row, then spend 2-3 nights at home. It was mostly a Friday through Monday or Tuesday thing, then the other nights at my place. We usually wouldn't see each other on those weeknights where I was at my place. I think we were around the 8 or 9 month mark when we were doing this.
Before that it was just weekend nights that I would spend at his place (and I was also "living" there on the weekends), then probably one weeknight where we would get together. I would say that was when we were in the 6 to 8/9 month range.
Like StartingGov, I am in a LDR too! We see eachother about every 2-3 weeks
We're two hours apart so I guess you could call it a LDR... we're going on 2.5 weeks of not seeing each other... It sucks! We usually try to see each other once a week, but we've been busy with traveling and other commitments.
He did invite me to spend four days with him next week to try out living together so I'm so excited to make up for lost time!
Every day.
We work out together every day and will eat dinner together (99% of the time). We don't spend the night with each other every night, but we do most nights.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
It depends on the relationship. With Stalker Guy, he lived exactly halfway between my office and home, so I'd stop there 3-4 nights a week, and then usually stay over all weekend. (In hindsight, probably shouldn't have spent so much time with him!)
With New Guy, we're seeing each other for the 5th time tonight in the 10 days since we met. He has family coming in thursday-Sunday, so I won't see him again until probably Monday. He has his kids every other weekend, which just happens to be the following weekend after that, so I won't see him then either. I think we'll end up settling into a twice a week/Saturday thing, or twice a week/Sunday after the kids leave thing. I don't know.
I like to see someone at least 3 times a week for sure.
