O ne day last summer, around noon, I called Athena, a year-old who lives in Houston, Texas. We chatted about her favorite songs and TV shows, and I asked her what she likes to do with her friends.

Is there a right or wrong amount of talking? Is there a rule for this, or does it vary from person to person? According to experts, here are ways to figure out the right balance on how often you should talk when you first start dating. The fact is that some people can feel vibes with communication once a week and others once a month.

In addition, unlike almost any other dating app, Facebook Dating is completely free — there are no premium features behind a paywall.
