Distance is not a factor
At least 2-3 times a week. Some weeks may be hit or miss but I would limit those misses to no more than once a month if you see them for less than the 2-3 times that week.

If you are having to ask for more time, maybe your Partner just isn't into you as much as you are into him. Try focusing on you, your hobbies and your happiness outside of your relationship, and see how much effort your Partner puts into maintaining his connection with you.
