We talked about how much personal time we needed on our own and he told me that he didn't need very much and that he would see me every day if he could. And I believed him.. Good learning experience. Also because I have children I am not available as often as most people. I get maybe two or three days a week to myself... To be on my own or with someone I'm dating or with friends. So there's no way I can spend 24/7 with someone. It was a rare situation where I happened to have a few days in a row that I was free. I couldn't have even gone to the party anyways because I had my kids.

If I've only been dating someone for a month, seeing them more than once or twice a week would just be too much for me. I think it's important to get to know someone slowly, over time. When you rush a relationship, it will usually crash and burn just as quickly. You also have to learn about how much alone time your new partner needs. Even if I really like someone and do want to introduce them to friends/family, that doesn't change the fact that I'm someone who needs a good deal of alone time as well as individual time with my best friends. Not everyone wants to be around their partner 24/7, no matter how much they like them.
