Ha my friend and I were just talking about this last night :heh:

We both haven't been in the dating game for awhile but we both miss those long talks on the phone, good morning/good night texts, texting all day about nothing :to:

But for me just saying a simple "hey how r u" every day is fine. We don't have to talk/text for 8+ hours everyday but I do like feeling as if a guy is thinking about me as much as I think about him :ehh:


You ever get those notifications on your phone, hoping its him and disappointed when it isn't :pachaha: those butterfly feelings when it is :wow:

Man I need to get back in the dating game :sadbron:

Them morning call or texts are GOAT. Was out with my homegirl and her dude and we were talking about a mans money and time and I made the point that if a man gives you his time it's more valuable than money. Especially how black folks stunt and drop ends we don't value money for it to be a measure of affection.

I think if a man spends his time than that is satisfying to me. My girl dude got a bit of money but he expects monetary reciprocity. One issue I have with the culture of some Sistas and I get into often with Sistas at LSA is that money is the only measure by which to judge a man.

Everyone is different and it's up to the couple to set those expectations. You two need to have a discussion about it. Ask him what he prefers.

The last dude I dated could go a few days without talking to me but we saw each other a couple times a week. I personally felt horrible not talking to him everyday so we settled on a call at least in the morning during the work week.

The guy I dated before then we text/talked ALL the damn time...I means hours at a fukking time. shyt was crazy in hindsight.

Not sure about setting expectations though. Shouldn't you just judge what dude does and decide if you cool with it? I wouldn't want a schedule.

I'm not saying go by a schedule, like on some same time everyday (that works better for me though)but I think there should still be some conversation about it.

What's too much? What's too little? Do you care about that?
Do you need to talk to him/her on a day to day basis?

Any horror stories?
I'm a newb in the dating game y'all.
