For couples who have been together long term- how long do your dates usually last? Do you live together?
I (27F) have been with my partner (32M) for 9 months and the honeymoon phase is naturally starting to lessen. We do not live together.
He is fairly busy but still makes time to take me out on a date once a week. However the dates typically last 1.5h-2h. I want to gently ask for more time with him but first I’d like to get an idea of where other couples are at with their quality time.
TL;DR – how long have you been with your partner and how long do your dates go on for? How often do you go out? Do you live together?

Are you sure you are not the “other woman”?
I’ve been with partner for 7 years and we live together. If we go out on dates they vary in time depending on what sort of date it is. If it’s a dinner date it could be 1-2 hours. A day at a specific place? Could be 6 hours could be less. So for our relationship, it just depends on the type of date we have planned.
> how long have you been with your partner and how long do your dates go on for?
Had several long term relationships and in the first dates, it last around 1 or 3 hours, sometimes even more than 5 hours.
>How often do you go out?
Like three times per week, I have my own activities so I need my time.
>Do you live together?
Lived together with some partners but only after around two or three years. I value my own space and privacy so it’s hard to me to give up that.
Been with my partner for 8 1/2 years now, living together for a little over 6. We have “date nights” every now and then (like maybe once every 4-6 months, sometimes longer depending on how busy we are and budgets) where we’ll go someplace nice or do dinner and a movie, etc. and it’ll take a few hours. But about 1-2 times a week we’ll go out in our neighborhood (all very walkable from where we live) either by ourselves or with friends and have a fun, casual night that takes anywhere from 1 to 3 hours. We also go on a lot of walks together and of course hang out daily together at home, either playing a game or watching TV. We don’t really feel the need to have designated “dates” because we spend so much time together anyway and just enjoy one another’s company, but every so often it’s nice to get a bit dressed up and go do one.
You don’t hang out at your/ his place after the date? You’ve been together 9 mos and you just go to the restaurant/venue and then go home alone?
