How long is enough time to be together?

There are certain milestones in a relationship, and until you've passed them, you should only spend a limited amount of time with that person.

1. When two people are not yet officially in a relationship or are in the getting-to-know-each-other phase.

Ideal meeting time: Two hours/week.

Why? During the getting-to-know-each-other phase, being too enthusiastic will immediately label you as "trying to rush things," which is not good at all. Therefore, you shouldn't meet him for too long or too many times a week. If you meet during lunchtime, just a quick greeting is enough. If you chat or text, you should be the one to end the conversation first. This will pique his curiosity and make him want to get to know you better and talk to you more.

Be careful: During this stage, it's easy to develop a crush on him, so maintain a moderate attitude and behave appropriately as friends (you two aren't anything to each other yet). It's best to keep a certain distance so he can take the initiative to get closer to you (for example, if you've already texted him, don't text him again if he hasn't replied to the previous message).

2. When two people first start dating.

Ideal dating time: Two days a week.

Why? The early stages of a relationship are always the sweetest and most wonderful time, so if two people see each other too often and move too quickly, it's easy for things to gradually fade. Two dates a week is ideal; it's enough to prevent both of you from going crazy (missing each other), while maintaining a frequency that isn't too high.

Be careful: Meeting up, going out, texting, and calling 24/7. Guys are very afraid of being in a relationship that's controlling, dependent, and restricts their freedom. Furthermore, if you only dedicate all your time to him and forget about your best friends, you'll definitely get dumped!

3. When two people have been in love for a long time.

Ideal time to meet: Three days a week.

Why? Because at this point, you both will have to put in a lot of effort to maintain your relationship. Therefore, you should refresh things by having romantic outings (instead of just going home to eat popcorn and watch movies), and giving each other fun surprise gifts (instead of only giving gifts on birthdays and holidays). During those three days, you should also arrange outings with family, siblings, and friends, instead of just going out together.

Be careful: When you've been in a relationship for a long time, things can easily fall into a rut, making you both feel bored and uninterested. Schedule some time to refresh your love life!
