For those of you that live in the same city as your SO but don’t live with them, how often do you see each other per week on average? Would you prefer more, less, or the same? I’ve only been in LDRs before so I’m trying to gauge what’s typical/common since my new SO and I live in the same city (basic question I know 😅)

On the weekend, will come over to stay typically, for a day. We changed things up and tried a week but two people working from the same apartment didn't work as well as I'd liked 😬😊 we've known each other for more than a year.

I live 2 mins from my SO and we usually have one set “date night” during the week and then typically spend the majority of the weekend (Fri-Sun) together. But my friend and their SO see each other when it’s convenient for them so sometimes it’s every night but not until 9 pm. Just gotta figure out what works best for you

Following because same. I see him once a week usually on weekends, sometimes for a full day sometimes just a few hours. We text rest of the week.

My SO and I were friends first in the same group so this might be a bit of an anomaly, but we had already spent every weekend together with our friend group/roommates. At first he was traveling, but anytime he was home we’d be together til he left again.

When he got put on a local project, we practically lived together. Spent nights, grocery shopped, came home from work to each other, etc. He officially moved in early 2020 - we’ve been WFH together the last 2 years and are now engaged…I guess we were well-prepared to be together 24/7!

I have friends though who have completely separate friend groups/don’t hang out during the week at all and are perfectly happy. I wouldn’t trade my experience though! We really became the best of friends from spending so much time together. I’d say don’t overthink it, do what feels right for both of you and let it happen naturally :)

Text all the time every day but see each other 1-2 times a week - usually a date night doing something on one day and then just a chill day in one day
Will usually spend the night one night of the weekend but I have my set morning/night routine for the weekdays and don’t really like messing that up

Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp

Has anyone else had a really hard time online dating with Covid? I’m aware things are getting better but I prefer to do outdoor first dates to be on the safe side. No judgement to anyone that does differently. It’s just what I feel comfortable with. I’ve had a few guys tell me they won’t do outdoor dates for some reason… some have cited weather but others legit say no (in 70 weather) because it’s a hassle & “Covid is a joke.” Please tell me if this is normal.
