The dude I'm seeing for about five months treats me well when were together. He pays for expensive dates (never lets me pay even I offer). We say we like spending time together. When we talk we say we miss each other. I see him once a week. He seems to be into me and like me but he doesn't call or text often. Maybe once or twice a week.

He works 10 hours a day. He just got promoted as a senior engineer. He's also part of the management. There's only one person above him and hes targeting to be in that position someday. He's so into what he does for a living.

If you like someone, how often do you call or text the person you like? Do you call/text everyday even you have a busy schedule? Just wondering.

Everyday seems to be way too much to start out with. It sounds like he takes his business as #1 priority, then his pleasure. Uummm...some people are like that.
Have you tried to give him a call after work, just for a quick chit-chat? I would give it more time, before worrying about how often he texts, or calls.

I text my girl at least once a day just to wish her a good day or whatever. I don't take that stuff too seriously.

I don't text, so can't address that. But anyone in love with someone else is in contact with them every day unless they are at death's door. Sure, there are some random exceptions, but I don't care how stressful your job is or if you work 19 hours a day. How long does a phone call take to just say, "Hi, I miss you and am thinking of you?"

I've been with my husband for decades and when I'm at work, I still email him very often and call him at least once a day, usually more. If I can do that after 20+ years, someone in a new relationship can certainly text/phone or get in contact with someone with whom they are supposedly in love.

3-4 times a week.

Personally, I hate communications with nothing to say.

Might as well sit staring at each other and grunt.

A full fledge conversation takes a hour or two. Or brief sweet nothings 5-10mins.
Depends on the available time each other has. A nice good morning and good night is sweet. Or here and there text are nice surprises.

I don`t think she said anything about "supposedly being in love" but yes, I agree it doesn`t take long to pick up the phone to say hey!!

To whomever felt it was necessary to anonymously rep me the question "why does it matter?"

Obviously you didn't really have a question, since you attempted to make it as difficult as possible to respond to you.

But, I think the possibility exists that the man has multiple women.
