8 moShort answer sort of yes. The answer is that both people should be showing interest it shouldn’t be one person putting all the effort in getting little to none in return eventually someone will loose interest and start talking to someone whose showing equal interest.
But if someone’s legitimately busy then you have to respect that as long as someone’s not just ghosting someone. It also depends on how deep you’re in a relationship if you’re just meeting one another going on a few dates I wouldn’t expect someone to message me daily.
How much communication someone needs in a serious relationship comes down to compatibility. This is something that should be discussed is things like that everyone different but if you’re not committed then slow down you don’t need to talk to someone every minute of every day.

8 moIt depends on the situation and the individuals involved. Some people appreciate regular communication as a sign of interest, while others might find daily messaging too much. In general, it’s important to be mindful of the other person’s communication style and comfort level.
If you're just starting to get to know someone, texting every day might come off as too intense. However, if there’s already a strong connection, daily messages could be seen as a sign of genuine interest. The key is to strike a balance: keep the communication consistent without overwhelming the other person, and pay attention to their responses to gauge if they're comfortable with the frequency.

3.1K opinions shared on Dating topic. It’s unrealistic for a girl to assume it’s his job to constantly contact her , it should go both ways, if you both are interested in each other. When I am interested in a girl I will make contact with her , but if she doesn’t make contact with me , i just assume she isn’t interested and move on if i don’t hear from her within a reasonable amount of time

8 moEvery day communications in a casual relationship, or one that is just starting, is unrealistic. The couple should work out what works for them. Thst could be every few days, once a week, or something else.
If you expect the other person to contact you every day, you're going to be disappointed.

u 8 moWhy does your generation insist on sending texts instead of actually talking?
02 Reply- 8 mo
At my job, which is like a schoo and accepted to be a couple there, there are many couples at my job,
The boy I like don’t text me, we talk in person. But I’m not that mad we don’t text , as my dream is talk to guy in person not text daily by the phone screen.
I’m fed up with it as the one guy I dated in my life texted me DAILY but he was a fuckboy never wanted meet family or be in my life live together nothing.
So I prayed to god that the next boy I meet talks to me In person and don’t text and it came true LOL
1.8K opinions shared on Dating topic. Unrealistic and I will stop messaging on purpose at some point. There have been so many girls who message back but were never interested enough to initiate. So I don't mind initiating often but especially early on ill just randomly stop doing it to see if she messagea back. If she doesn't I may try it once more a few days later and then if she doesn't again ill move on.

Yeah I think there’s an expectation in the beginning for men to do like 70% of the initiating and 30% for women. I notice with the guy I’m talking to he will initiate for a few days in a row , and then if I don’t hear anything for a few days, I kinda get the vibe he wants me to initiate and I’m always right about that because he’ll answer in less than a minute. I just always get scared thinking ok if he was really interested he’d always want to initiate and I’m scared of being annoying if I reach out first.
- 8 mo
He does want you to initiate. If he's busy he will say so or not reply that day and explain after. But we alao don't want to be overburdening and I just find that some girls are polite in messaging back but dont care enough to initiate. Thats why for at least a few times I stop initiating or initiate late to give her space to initiate and show me she actually wants it to.
- 8 mo
Well sometimes I just assume he isn’t interested because I’ve always heard if he likes you he will initiate and everyone was telling me to message him first because I was stressing out from not hearing from him for a few days , thinking why isn’t he reaching out. As soon as I texted him he responded within a minute and then initiated for a week straight. Then it kinda went back to every few days and maybe a couple days in a row so I’m confused 🤔 can never tell if it’s a lack of interest or waiting for the other person.
- 8 mo
You’re right!! I told him I was busy Saturday and never got back to him so I decided to message Monday, we talked, and he messaged again Tuesday first thing in the morning , but haven’t heard from him since that night , and I was the last one to say something which he didn’t reply to (my text didn’t require a reply anyway), so this is a situation where I’d think he should text first?

m 8 mowhenever I've been interested in someone and it is mutual... this is the normal, every day contact
it's just natural...51 Reply- 8 mo
the update makes no difference to me...
true interest is consistent... not like it switches off for weeks
If you're expecting every day communication, it sounds like you want more than just friendship or casual dating.
If he's doing it of his own volition, and you have the mind set of just casual dating or friendship, then you need to let him know you aren't interested in a serious relationship.10 Reply- 615 opinions shared on Dating topic.
8 moIt seems unrealistic, in the sense of bizarre, to me, to follow (and/or expect) any precise pattern/structure/plan. Talking with someone, interest or not, is not a job, a task or something of this sort. It's okay to be clueless about how to interact with people, we've all been there, but it doesn't mean that we have to turn into computers to be able to relate to people

8 moif he is interested he would message as often as he feels is needed...
if you need more or less... talk to him... people have different ways of showing they like someone, so talking is the best way to get on the same page...

8 molet me be a bit provocative and turn that question around. why would you expect a partner to text you every single day? do you need that constant attention? do you have fear of loss and abandonment? or is it something else?
i get it. it's hard to know whether or not a partner actually is the right one for you. i think making the daily message a measure of quality of your partner isn't a good idea.10 Reply - 450 opinions shared on Dating topic.
8 moDon’t ever do that shit bro. You could text her once a week for three weeks and that’s it. If she doesn’t respond to you by the third time move on you never wanna come off as needy. Chicks do not like needy guys. And if she text you today, don’t text her back till late at night or tomorrow afternoon. Believe me, I know what I’m saying. Chicks might not agree, but players will.
12 Reply- 8 mo
Players or not females do and say stupid shit all the time and expect guys bend over backwards for them, knowing they’re really not interested in that guy. So men have to keep their guard up against women because of that bullshit. It isn’t like we like you we need to.

8 moThat’s what I do. Always a “good morning, how you slept well” and a “good night sleep well” at a minimum. Normally 4 or 5 in between unless we get in a conversation then more.
10 Reply I don't think this is just on men? If you're interested in each other, it'll just happen between the two of you. I don't continue conversations where there isn't effort being put in on both sides.

Anonymous(18-24)8 moHmm, not that unrealistic,
Bc I got guys, whose I don't even date message me every single day, for a years, (even if it's just to say hello, or just checking...)
if my boyfriend can't do the same he's not invested enough in me05 Reply
Opinion Owner8 moSomeone is never too busy to send you a little "good morning love, wish you a good day" or "hello, I'm but busy today, but I hope you'll enjoy your day"
It doesn't take a single minute... I'm sure you worth more than a minute a day.
Opinion Owner8 moI don't have a boyfriend actually, I'm just saying, I have guys I'm not dating messaging me repeatedly so I would expect my future boyfriend to do the same, it's not unrealistic at all.
- 8 mo
They message a lot because they are trying to eventually get sex from you. That is one of the main problems women have is not understanding the attention they get and misinterpreting it as actual real interest. Then they get used and later in life wander why no good quality men will accept them as a partner. It is very common.
Opinion Owner8 moThe real problem is guys always thinking about sex, we only exist for our vagina...
If y'all don't want us to get used to it then don't make us get used to it, it's a lot asking for a single text everyday even if it's just a "good morning, I'll be busy but have a good day..."
I know I worth more than a single text everyday, rather be single than pitying over one text
8 moIn my opinion he should because men in relationships will text their gfs everyday so they should do the same before dating
