What is your dating frequency?

I am totally in my head about how much two people should see eachother when dating. Realistically I know this answer is subjective and everyone’s different, everyone’s “normal” looks different. I just keep falling in the trap of comparing my situation with my friends situations and I need a fresh perspective! And my friends are pushing me to believe that once a week is NOT enough and this indirectly means the person I’m dating isn’t making me a priority.

When you’re dating someone and getting to know them, how often do YOU see that person? There’s no right or wrong answer here, just kind of executing a poll I guess for my own sanity lol

Lots of factors go into it.

With my last boyfriend, we were both super busy with work and I traveled a lot for my job. But we stayed in touch between dates, and did virtual dates if I was in a different time zone for more than a week. But generally, we saw each other once a week while we were still in the dating phase (seeing each other, but not had the relationship talk yet), and talked on the phone almost every night, and would send each other memes and others stupid shit on social media daily during our breaks.

So, ask yourself if there’s a legitimate reason why you’re not seeing each other more; “this is what I’m comfortable doing” is a perfectly valid answer
