My boyfriend has called me every night since we became exclusive (a little more than a year and a half). He calls me because I work regular hours but with him owning his own business, his hours can be irregular. Sometimes it's just a quick 5 minute call, but most times we talk for 30 minutes to an hour and we always find plenty to talk about (work, our families, the news, plans for what we are doing together next, what is on the Science Channel that night, etc). I don't mind at all, in fact I love to hear from him and look forward to his calls.
Not just casual dating, but EXCLUSIVELY dating. Is calling every night too much? Would you feel annoyed or smothered?
I'd be okay with it. I myself have a life that is filled with all kinds of activity, but my significant other is my significant other. I'd welcome a call from her every day. For one thing, I know she is okay.
I would love it always because I want to feel cared for and appreciated but sadly people misconstrue this action as needy, obsessive, and as you said smothered.
Really, there is nothing smothering about a daily call from someone you are exclusive with. All it would be is a couple of minutes of talking. If it was talking for hours, then it could be time for a break. But taking a couple of minutes off just to say hi? Nothing smothering about that.
I don't get a significant other just to ignore her, nor do I be in a relationship to be ignored. For one thing, if we ignore each other, I wind up drifting away.
Calling sucks. We use Facetime. Video works way better and the audio quality of the AAC codec Apple uses is far superior to a compressed/garbled cell phone.
How do you think I manage most of my life? The phone, doesn't mean I'm up for a conversation every day. I talk to people on the phone enough for a living.

That I can understand. Sometimes, you can just get burned out on phones. Fortunately for me, my phone is just for personal use. My business is done either online or through the computer.
I typically talk to my new exclusive gf 30 mins to 1 and a half hour every night. We just finished an amazing 1 hour n 10 min phone call. We know each other's schedule and I know she's laying in bed pretty much every night at this time
Today I straight up asked her "are you ok with me calling you every night? I don't want you to feel smothered" and she said of course she is..she likes it
So I guess it works for us
Personally I just love hearing her voice every night, I can't help it. Even if it's 3 mins
I admit, I'm not sure I could handle 1 hour every night. At that point, we might as well move in together.
Well, I would be OK with some contact every day. Phone call, text, e-mail. Just as long as I am not expected to respond to a phone call right away every day. If I am available, I would gladly take the call. But I would not want to have a rule that I have to call back absolutely every day. I might be busy, tired, not feel like talking one day, etc...
