What is your sign and what do you think proper or unproper dating communication etiquette entails? How old are you? Do you want to talk to and reach out to the object of your affection daily? Every other day? Once a week? Less often?

How do you like to be contacted? Everyday? Every other day? Once a week? Less often?

Please differentiate if the rules change if you are committed to each other and in a relationship or you two are just getting to know each other.

I'll start.

I'm 34 male Gemini with Mercury in Gemini conjunct my Sun. If I just met someone, the standard is contact every 3 or 4 days. After a few dates and the chemistry is really good, every other day becomes fine. If we are a few months in and are committed, that's when every day becomes fine and no sooner unless its important!

When I was much younger, I wouldn't call a woman for weeks after exchanging numbers. Now that I'm older and more mature, I like to think those waiting games are quite unnecessary and foolish.

I think strict dating rules are definitely unnecessary, waiting and wondering is wasting time. If two people want to be talk to each other spend time, then so be it. Life is too short to be following societful rules that are subjective and not consequential, anyway...I think a lot of us feel differently about when to contact a date. I usually feel that getting in touch with a person in 3-4 days is ok. It's enough for the other person to have their space, but enough for them to think and miss them...
I agree that after chemistry is felt, etc., that every one to two days is good, and when they're exclusive, once a day is great... This includes all kinds of communication. I am 24years old female and I have dated mainly older men in their late twenties, early 30's and latest, a 40 year old recently. In my experience, age doesn't seem to matter with regard to their communication etiquette. But their Moon sign and their Mercury sign seem to greatly influence how frequently they like to text or enjoy small talk, etc.

28, lady Seagoat Sun/Merc

I'm a bit contradictory with my need for contact from partners... I don't like routine, and prefer casual and spontaneous interaction in all things~ but, at the same time I hate to worry... so having a call at least once a week would be the bare minimum in a dating situation. once a night or every other night if we had anything of concern or interest to discuss. (like if one party was often busy or away with work... I wouldn't want calls over trivial matters nor would I make them... makes sense right?) But, at the same time if I cared I'd want to know they were alright~ haha --- so a brief call during those kinda' circumstances is super meaningful and works wonders on alleviating my worrywart tendency.

In my youth I had a much harder time being patient for a lovers calls, or visits~ I don't take kindly to the waiting game and will very unsympathetically end things if I'm left hanging. I don't care what the excuse was, and not a bit for mind games... but, everything was interesting back then and I could literally keep someone on the phone for ages. (like I go on and on here forever typing) --- but even worse!~ x_X luckily, those guys back then were just as happy to talk at length - and not many of them tried tomfoolery tactics, like suspense-building distance games....

I dunno if that's sun or merc driven about me though - it's more likely to do with my third house and Sag planets...

Now that I'm married I really don't need to waste time with contact - only if it concerns my child. I'd like him to call so I know if he's going to be in at X hour so I can have things in order for whatever that evenings plans are and to make sure we don't need item xyz from the store or something mundane like that. I have no interest in wasting time on the phone with my old man when I know he'll be home in like 8 hours anyway~ x_X often go off if he calls too much...
(for the record, he will turn the tables and say I call him too often... which just makes me @_@; whahhh? "I called you once all week and we needed milk!") lmao yep - married for too long.

Cancer Sun, Venus; Capricorn Moon; Virgo Mars conj (1 degree) Ascendant.

*I* will do the "hunting". If I am being pursued too strongly below will happen in exact order:

1: I will be turned off.
2: Communication will decrease from my side.
3: There will never be a romantic future. As friends? Perhaps.

In terms of communication I NEED at least ONE "good morning" or "hello, how are you" or "let's meet on Thursday at x time and x place" or "have a nice day, speak later" per day.

If I get flaked on when a meeting is set up, you're dead, unless excuse is really good.

Sadly, I live in a city where flakiness is a DNA trait and it makes me pi$$ed the F off! I have had SO many people come crawling back when grass wasn't greener but in fact, burnt to the ground, but by that time my view on that person has gone from A+ to F- and it can't be switched back.

If it's an established relationship above way of communication still applies.

aqua sun, taurus moon in the third house, mercury in capricorn conjunct uranus and neptune in the 11th.

i am 21. i dont know if its more my abundance of wind energy or my moon in the third but communication is very important to me. i'm game to talk to somebody 24/7 if i find them interesting and enjoy their company. as an aqua/ uranus dominant i am independent and freedom oriented, but i dont see regular communication with somebody i like/love as a threat to my freedom. the way i see it if you dont want to talk to somebody or spend time with them on a regular basis, you shouldnt be dating them in the first place... i cant wait to get married and be done with dating, the mindgames and power trips are annoying.

Leo Sun/Gemini Moon/Leo Mercury/Leo Mars.

Em. I talk a lot. I don't follow any rules (wait this amount of days and so on). If I'm interested, I end up talking nonstop about everything under the sun until one of us asks for a time out. I don't change when I'm in a relationship. I still talk and joke a lot lol.

I'm quite blunt about it, too. If I like someone I blurt it out. No shame here. If they don't return the feelings, I move on. I just think waiting around is a waste of time when I can be doing something fun, and I hate thinking about the "What if" situations.

Leo Sun, Gemini Moon, Scorpio Rising.

I will create happiness rather than pursue it.

the girls i have dated seemed to like texting me periodically throughout the day ( phone call at night) when they werent busy and i didnt mind, i liked it . i appreciate cancer girls because they are good about keeping in touch and value it even more then i do. this is the biggest reason my most succesful relationships have been with them. the only problem i have had with them is they freak out if i dont return a text within like 10 minutes lol.

I prefer daily text contact even if its just a "Good Morning" or "Good Night". I don't expect to talk to someone everyday over the phone that's too much. If you can't talk or text just tell me everyone gets busy I understand but if someone doesn't contact me for weeks don't expect a text, call or visit anytime soon.

Just getting to know someone probably requires more effort on both sides especially if you don't know someone's communication habits and that getting to know each other phase is suppose to be fun and not a chore. Your suppose to want to contact one another and hear each other's voice,how their day went even physically interact with one another if you live near one another. Long distance relationships require more phone calls and skyping etc/

I'm a Libra Sun, sextile ASC, un-aspected. I have Jupiter conjunct Venus in Scorp, in the 11th. My 7th house is empty; Mercury my DES ruler is in Scorp in the 11th. My Mars is trine Pluto and in the 8th house in Cancer.

I'm 18 years old. I don't like contacting the person every single day though my Cancer Mars + Scorpio Venus does crave a good dose of loyalty and intimacy. I don't like being ignored for more than a two or three days by someone close to me. But I'm learning how to detach so if it's a new relationship, I respect their space and value mine and don't expect to hear from them every day. I give flexibility but sometimes I can become insecure [Cancer] which makes me want to ice them out [Scorpio] to protect my feelings and not be vulnerable. So I guess if they're too flaky and not talking to me at least every few days, I will become obsessed about it but that dies out quickly enough, and I'll ice them out.

I also value the intimacy of talking over the phone, and HATE when guys only prefer texting most of the time over talking... it really lacks closeness and tees me off. It just seems rude and too detached, to not want to hear each others' voices. I actually had a boyfriend of a few months just like this. He never called me. Once. It was a part of what ended our relationship since he was obsessed with texting. UGH.
