Female who is all new to this dating thing, come from a past of being in relationships and never really done the dating thing. Question- when you start dating, how often should you be going out, talking - whether phone, text, email. Been reading lots books on signs he's into you... but it isn't all that clear when you start dating... do the same rules apply? Input welcome.

You go at whatever pace you're comfortable with. There are no standard rules. Let things flow naturally.

You date to have fun getting to know someone better, and you both have to figure out what the pace is.

Too much, to soon, crash and burn.

That means don't be in a rush just to have someone that you get carried away and become distracted by feelings that are strong and intense, and fail to see signs about their true character and nature.

Keep in mind that in the beginning, everyone puts their best foot forward, and hides the negatives, so go slow at your own pace and keep your perspective of this stranger so your own feelings don't blind you.
