There is no set timeline for how long a long-distance "talking stage" should last. It really depends on the individuals involved and their specific circumstances. Some people may feel ready to move forward with a long-distance relationship after a few weeks or months, while others may take longer to feel comfortable with the idea.

It's important to communicate openly with your partner about your expectations and desires for the relationship, and to be honest about your feelings and concerns. If you feel like the relationship is progressing in a way that feels good and healthy to you, and if you are both able to communicate openly and honestly, then the talking stage may be going well.

It's also important to prioritize your own emotional well-being and to make sure that the relationship is meeting your needs and desires. If you feel like the relationship is causing you stress or anxiety, or if you feel like your needs are not being met, it may be time to reevaluate the relationship and consider whether it is meeting your needs.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to take things at a pace that feels comfortable and healthy for both you and your partner, and to communicate openly and honestly throughout the process.

LDR doesn't work. And even if it does, you'll always be complaining about wanting to be with each other. It's one thing if it's the same state and just different cities, but, if you're in different states or countries, you'll wind up spending most of the time talking about when you'll see each other, and that's not fun

Well first things first: LDR is not meant to be a long-term arrangement. There must be a silver lining, an end in sight that isn’t just you two fantasizing about hopes and dreams for the future. You need solid plans, otherwise after like 6 months (and that’s assuming you two REALLY fell for each other) the distance will take it’s toll. Separation anxiety, depression, wanting physical touch and intimacy, even just a real hug after a bad day — it will all start weighing on you if there’s no plan for the distance to end. You need something to look forward to, otherwise even the visits every few months start to suck because for as excited as you are to see them, you know they gotta go back, making the time fly and hurts like hell when they leave. It’s just sucky, I wouldn’t recommend and LDR to anyone who’s just wing in’ it.

Well I have done 2 serious LDR first one we started dating after 3 months... we used to call and facetime a lot.. I ended up moving in with him after 2 years in his country (UK).
Second one love bombed me but after 3 months started to pull away.. didn't want to be official and we dragged that shit on for 13 months... then found out he was fucking other girls.. (never do long distance with people in New York).
Give him 3 months that's all it should take... if he calls often he def is into you.
