I want someone that I want to talk to and email during the day. I think if it is a serious relationship you should speak daily - but if you go a day or two without it because one or the other is busy - that is okay and no one freaks - but it is not usually the norm.
The "want someone that I want to talk to" is the key for me.
MA liked talking/emailing - but he was so one way street and would launch into huge lectures that he would wear me out and I would not want to talk to him and I would shut off his chat windows.
I have to find someone who is fun to talk to.
Let me tell you - it was NOT my son's football coach - who is married anyway. This poor man is like one of those Burt Reynold's types - instead of brains they gave him testosterone and he thinks being a man makes him special. He was trying to tell ME that I should not run with my son because I will make him slow - he has no clue what I do. AND he said that riding a bike makes him fat because he eats too much afterwards. Can you tell I am annoyed. If I had to talk to HIM everyday I would cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!
Depends on the stage of the relationship. In the beginning I expect regular, if not daily contact. Otherwise, I figure the guy just is not that into me. It can be e-mail or phone or in person. I don't expect daily in person contact though, that would get on my nerves and seem clingy. Over time it is natural for the less personal contact- phone/e-mail, to lessen, and face to face contact to increase. For me, the kid schedule still dictates a lot of my contact with M as well as his out of town for work issues and my class schedule. Neither of us gets insecure if we don't manage to connect for a couple of days. It is rare for it to be more than a couple of days.

Hello!!!
With my BF and I we try to talk everyday....With our work schedules its not that easy, but we do text several times a day...I work as a nurse on the night shift and he is a pilot for an air ambulance company he has a rotating schedule, and to top it off we are in a LDR....
I like hearing his voice at least once a day...But just getting those little messages help too.
If it is a newly dating thing? Like "seeing each other" but only a few times so far. Then i would say a phone call or email 3X
Hmmmmmmm.
Some form of contact daily for me.
Good question.
