Avoiding burn out early on

I think seeing each other every day is too much for the reasons others have stated: it moves the relationship forward too quickly and doesn’t give you a chance to get to know each other over time. It’s important to know how he’ll react to you slowing things down a bit. Will he respect your boundaries even though he misses you? Will he stay in touch when you’re apart or will he fall of the face of the earth? Or text you incessantly? You won’t know these things unless you have the chance to spend some time apart. It’s at least 2 months in before you can get the faintest accurate impression of who this person is. So many women I’ve know have had whirlwind romances that crash and burn after 2-3 months when it turns out the guy’s a total jerk who managed to hide it well for a few weeks
