Spending Longer or Prolonged Time Together While Dating
When your dates have progressed to a point where you both are comfortably
spending more time together, or you are having more frequent dates, then it may be ther
right time to take your dating experience a step further and consider even more intimate
time together.
A more intimate time together means being in each other’s company for a
prolonged period of time. One way in which that can be done is by having a weekend
together or by going away on a getaway trip. A weekend together could simply be
spending the entire time at either you or your date’s apartment. To make the best of that
time, the individual who will be host should make sure that their place is clean and
welcoming. There should also be plans about what will be done for dinner or lunch so
that there aren’t any inconveniences to interrupt the time you will be sharing. So it’s best
if chores like grocery shopping and cleaning are done beforehand. That way you both can
spend the weekend in a totally relaxed and enjoyable manner. You will feel free to do
whatever you both want to do and to go wherever you also want to go, without feeling
constrained by the need to get any tasks done.
Another way to spend a prolonged period of time together is to have a joint
vacation. That will mean planning and coordinating time off from work, planning how
the trip will be coordinated and also making all necessary travel arrangements. You both
will also have to agree on a place for the vacation that you both think you will find
immensely enjoyable.
Going away for a vacation together can greatly enhance your date because you
will be in a different environment and that, by itself, usually contributes a big benefit
toward feeling positive, refreshed and energized. By being together on a vacation, you
also will get to share and enjoy interests that are common to both of you, and others
which either you or your date like. By doing so, you will also discover more and new
qualities about your date, again enhancing your dating.
An extended time can also be spent with your date while you are dating, if either of you
move in temporarily with the other. If you and your date enjoy a close relationship that
has progressed to being very serious, then either of you will feel comfortable to help out
the other in a situation where there is need for temporary housing. Such situations can
arise for example if your lease isn’t renewed and you were unable to find a suitable place
by the time you have to move. Rather than settling for a secondary option, your date may
offer to have you stay at their place until you find somewhere that you are totally
comfortable with.
And if you have you own your house or apartment, a circumstance may arise in
which there is work being done there that makes it inconvenient for you to occupy it. In
such situations, so long as you are very comfortable with your date, it’s quite fine to
temporarily stay at their place.
A shorter time may also be spent with your date if from time to time you both
have sleepovers at each other’s place. You will see more of each other and be able to
share time and talk in a more intimate manner and setting than when you are on a date, or
by a phone conversation. Because a sleepover is also a brief time together, you likely will
be more attuned to making the most of it and in so doing will also increase how close you
become with each other.
