How often should you see the person your dating?

He told Bravo TV, "It's important to stick to twice a week only so that you have plenty of time away from your new date to give your deepest feelings time to percolate up from your subconscious. "These deep feeling are important because they will help you see any issues or problems with your new love interest."

Unless you're incredibly lucky and/or have magical powers, finding someone you actually like enough to hang out with (and sleep with) regularly can be pretty hard. So, when you finally realise you actually, kinda, want to see someone again, knowing what to do next can be confusing af.

It's really easy when you're having great sex and a giant laugh, to fall into the routine of spending every waking hour with that person. But how healthy is that, really? Because while you're having a bloody good time, should you really be investing all this time (and probably neglecting your pals/family in the process) on someone you've just met?

While I've always been a firm believer in just doing what feels right, and going with it as long as you're happy, some people reckon that's probably a bad idea... Psychiatrist and author Scott Carroll says there is a rule as to how often you should hang out with someone new you're dating that you'd be wise to follow. He told Bravo TV, "It’s important to stick to twice a week only so that you have plenty of time away from your new date to give your deepest feelings time to percolate up from your subconscious. "These deep feeling are important because they will help you see any issues or problems with your new love interest." I mean, that does make sense if you want to be 'sensible' but what if you just want to go with the flow? He says hanging out with someone 'too much' at the beginning could cause one partner to get over-excited which could in turn, cause the other to freak out and break things off. "You don’t have to see someone daily, but seeing them at least once during the week and another night over the weekend keeps things moving forward," Carroll continues. And, seeing someone less than that can also have a negative effect he reckons."If you only see someone once every couple of weeks, it's almost like starting all over again from the beginning on each date." By all means follow this guy's advice, he is a psychiatrist after all. But with relationships it's often about your gut instinct, and what feels right for you.

What to do after kiss and hug?

Look your partner in the eyes and smile. Run your hands through their hair. Pull them in for a hug. Wrap your arms around them, or cup their face. Nuzzle your noses against each other. Keep your faces, like forehead and nose, touching. Hold each other for a quiet moment alone.

Article Summary

X

Whether a kiss is amazing or awkward, it can be hard to know how to respond afterward. If you are enjoying the kiss, try to relax and let it happen without planning what to do or say next. When the kiss ends, pull back slowly, make eye contact with your partner, and smile at them. If you’re both feeling it, you might lean in for another kiss, or just sit and cuddle for a while. If it was a really passionate kiss, you can also turn up the heat by kissing them in other places, like their neck or shoulder, or by touching and caressing them in an intimate way if they’re okay with it. Another option is to tell them how you feel after the kiss. Say something like, “Wow, that was amazing. Can I kiss you again?” If the kiss is unwanted, step back confidently and tell the other person you aren’t interested. Say something like, “I don’t think this is a good idea,” or “Please don’t do that again.” Excuse yourself and leave as soon as you can. If you feel comfortable enough, you can always have a talk with them later about what happened. For tips on how to respond to an unwanted kiss, keep reading!
