How often should a couple meet? Do you think there is an exact period for this?
After two years of constant dating, one 9 month and 4 moth relationship in the last 24 months out of 17 different women I have dated. Every one of these 17 woman, all wanted long term relationship and not hook ups. Okay fine, but how to achieve that, when you need to spend a descent amount of time together before you can even decide if this someone you want to make a commitment with?
At this point I just tell women upfront; my expectations are this... I want to get to the point that we can spend at least one weekend a month together... take a trip and have destination weekend together at least once a month and then decide where we want to go from there. But all I ask is one weekend a month. If you are seriously looking for a long-term commitment that is all I am asking for as far as a commitment to get it started.
Everything I read says, that in a healthy dating relationship, people might text three or four times a week and most of that texting is about making plans for the next time you spend time together. That all the other important stuff is discussed when are together and not through text.
You would be amazed how hard it is for a woman in her 40s to make the one weekend a month commitment, when they all say they only interested in long term commitment.
Ultimately, If I am getting the one weekend a month as a man, I am happy. I happy as far as dating goes... now if we are getting into marriage territory or talking about moving in together, then I would expect I am seeing her in person once week, on top of one weekend a month... but you build up to that over time. But starting out at least one weekend a month or one day every other week... but then again in a committed relationship there is the sex thing... so that usually means you're staying overnight together at least once or two a month on top of weekly events or other things.

Nothing can set in stone. Between work schedules, family, friends, spontaneous Dr/ dental appointments sons need to communicate and have an understanding there are issues that are out of someone's control
It's individual. Some people need to meet daily. Others are fine with LDRs.
Personally, I like to meet at least once weekly. Ideally more. And within a year or two, move in together, leases permitting.
Everything is individual or unique to a couple. There's no "standard", just what feels right to the partnership.
When I had a boyfriend, he moved in with me after 5 or 6 months of dating.

I live with him. There's no escape! XD
Once a month usually but these last few months have been hard to meet up. We just met up this weekend after a long two months of not seeing each other.
i don't know. everyones situations/schedules/lives are completely different than another couples. there is no right amount of time. but they better be trying for a few times a week.
Twice a week at least. I'd say lol. 😋 not referring to your, you do you.
