    Hypothetically speaking, if you were in a relationship with someone, and the guy says he loves you, wants to be with you etc....would you be upset if he didnt call every day or at least text you to say hi?? How often would you want to hear from your bf/gf and if you didnt hear from them everyday, at least a "hi" or "whatsup", would you be mad? How would you handle this?

    my boyfriend and i will sometimes go a day or two without speaking and i honestly like it that way. i feel so smothered when guys are constantly texting me to see what i'm doing and such. my ex was THAT guy. he was constantly texting me, mostly to keep tabs on me i think. now its nice to go a day without speaking to my current boy, then i see him or talk to him and lust for him like crazy ;) it keeps it fresh

    I wouldn't be mad, I wouldn't really care....most of the time it's me that's the problem in that situation and it's nothing personal...I'm busy, what can I say?!

    text him if it bugs you, and say hi! just thinking of ya, hope you have a good day...

    it really shouldnt be a big deal though

    It depends on you and him and what you like and what he's like. Some people can go days w/o speaking, others need constant contact at all times. Whether or not the latter is related to jealousy or control issues remains to be seen.

    I like hearing from my boyfriend daily. It doesn't have to be an actual conversation. I'm glad with just a "hello" or "Thinking of you".

    at this point it would be odd, but we live together
    before we moved in, we would usually talk every second or third day... sometimes more sometimes less. a little personal space is a good thing

    I say a week is when I start to get really mad about not hearing from him. I had a boyfriend in the military who once went a month without speaking to me while we were dating. I suppose its a different case but damn, he could have texted me. lol in any case, yeah 4-7 days until I get pissed about not hearing from a significant other.

    there are a lot of times i'm gone on day trips for business and it's hard for me to text or call someone because my phone is usually tied up...so talking to my boyfriend is difficult...so it's not a big deal for me not to talk to him, however, it seems we always find a way to talk to each other throughout the day-whether it be in the morning or at night. but if he was busy and couldn't talk to me throughout the day, i wouldn't really mind it

    I don't need constant communication, but I do enjoy talking with my bf, so if he calls, I welcome it.

    However, it works both ways, you can't expect HIM to call YOU all the time :)

    I started seeing someone new this week, and she texts and calls constantaly, honestly it drives me nuts. Some is good, too much can be a turn off. It depends on the relationship you have IMO. If you grow uncomfortable with the level of communication that there is or lack therof, you should talk about it. I have dated women that i woudln't hear from for days and then we would get together, and had no problem with it, but others I knew were being that way because there was something going on.

    If someone is very communicative, and then all of the sudden drops off one day and stops texting or significantly slows down, something is usually up.

    Ok Im not needy. Not anymore at least. I'm going to learn to love being alone. Like a hermit. Except I don't stay in the house 24/7 so kind of like a part time hermit or something.

    Learning to be happy by yourself is the first key to learning to be happy with another. :)
