@PRW - you are seriously missing the point of daily contact. In a healthy relationship or even in early dating stages, daily contact is not usually done out of a need for affirmation or validation. It is done because both partners WANT to continue to feel connected.

 

Partners check in on each other because they CARE for each other. It is about caring and showing that you care. Checking in daily is simply ONE of the ways that two people show each other that they care for each other. It is not and should not be a means to seek validation or affirmation.

Elaine - you seriously hit the nail on the head, lmao.

 

Men honestly worry for no reason. If she likes you, she will be super excited if you text her everyday. If she's lukewarm, texting her once a week will NOT make her more interested. If anything, you'll retreat farther and farther into the back of her mind.

 

Only immature girls who are lukewarm about you will suddenly find you intriguing when you act like you have options or when you act like you don't really care.

A good night is polite if you're in the middle of a conversation. Good morning is nice early in the relationship when the romance is still there - but maybe not every single morning.

 

I think some level of contact on a daily basis makes sense. I think daily calls are a bit much since you can't multi task and I'm constantly multi tasking and it's easier to multi task with texting.

 

Guys generally hate texting I find - but even the ones I'm simply "dating" and not exclusive with are still trying to maintain some level of contact.

Its just nice to have someone to rant to about your day. Who else really gives a - except your family, best friend, and the person you're seeing? No one else needs a daily check in.
