How many dates should he be taking me on if he likes me?
However, the consistency of dates needs to be at least once a week to build a natural exchange of energy between you two because a date less than once a week means he’s not putting enough energy into build something significant with you.
Two dates a week tops. More than two dates a week isn’t necessarily a bad sign, but it could mean that he is taking things too fast which can lead to early burn out before building or that he is overly romanticizing you (thinking of you as “soul-mates” or “the one”) leading to high expectations within the relationship that will come crashing down later on. There needs to be enough time between the in-person dates to build a missing of each other. Missing each other is a great sign.
However, between the dates, he should be reaching out regularly through texts or calls. If he is interested in you then he should be making contact throughout the day, once a day, or every other day at the very minimum.
Also, men get busy, so don’t follow this advice as strict rules. If you’re concerned about the frequency of dates or between dates, you can speak your feelings and needs with him in a vulnerable manner. Him considering your feelings and needs is part of building a healthy relationship, so think of it as a great opportunity to start practicing.
