As some people may remember me from a previous thread, I am starting to see someone (single mother). Nonetheless, this post is not jumping back onto that topic, that was for the other thread.
We haven't even been on the formal first date yet (be there in a couple days), but we have spent an immense amount of time texting and talking.
Last night, we spent five and a half hours talking on the phone, no breaks and talking about everything. From random things, to more personal stuff. And there were no dead stretches. Really enjoyable. I am posting this because I found this to be ridiculously long (for me, anyway). From this, I would like to know if others have shared the same experience, because for me, it's a first.

O M G! You may make it to The Guinness Book of Records! I'm trying to imagine being on the phone for this long and can't... I'll get involuntary mouth spasms and a major headache.
It went by really fast... too fast. Didn't feel like 5 and a half hours at all. Ended up going to sleep at 4:00am though. Paying for it today but I think it was worth it in the end though

When I was a senior in high school I met a girl through some mutual friends. In the beginning I didn't know anything about her since she went to a different high school so we had a couple of those marathon phone sessions (a few that topped the five-hour mark). Chalk that up to puppy love and infatuation, I suppose, but here is what happened; we very quickly ran out of things to say. Well, at least I did. She also lived on the other side of town, so she called me quite often. She was actually fun to be with when we were hanging out together, and we managed to stay together for a year, but I had to cut her loose because she called me all the time -often multiple times per a day- and I just didn't have anything to say to her anymore (and she was obviously too dependent).
My high school sweetheart and I could talk all night long (and literally did a few times - we both fell asleep with the phones to our ears and call still connected!), just about random stuff.
Fast forward.. I do currently have someone in my life of the opposite gender I can do that same thing with now. Our phone conversations do go for hours and the time flies without even realizing it. But, even more of a marathon when we actually get a chance to hang out (we live on opposities sides of the state). Can usually sit down and talk for 4-8 hours at a time, only interrupting because its time to head home - not because we ran out of conversation.
There are just some people we are fortunate enough to have in our lives that we just really hit it off with. Enjoy and cherish what you have -- it doesn't come around very often!

Sounds like you guys might have a lot in common and also might be good at communicating with each other. My wife and I have done that on occasion, but I've also spent that long talking with male friends so to me it isn't that unusual. If I haven't talked to someone in six months, there's sometimes a lot to catch up on. :-)
I think that talking that much on the phone in the beginning of the relationship is normal and fine. You are both just getting to know each other. However, if a year later my s/o wanted to *** that much on the phone with me or was just calling and texting me that much, I would be very annoyed with him.
