Been in a relationship for a little under 6 months, last 3.5 months I've only been sleeping with her. We typically spend 2 to 3 nights per week together and talk on the phone for 5-15 minutes before bed on the nights we don't see each other. We're both 31.

I'm subletting my place for a week and living with her, so this will be a very interesting experiment to see how compatible we are for the long term.

Just so you know, a week is not going to be reflective of what she'd be like to live with or be with long-term. That's still way too honeymoon type of a time frame.

I've been dating a girl exclusively for the better part of the year and I see her when it's convenient for me (most of the time, you can't be complete asshole with a sweet feminine girl). She texts or e-mails me more than I do her, she responds quickly, I respond when I can (I'm pretty busy during the day). I will occasionally give her a really long text or series of texts, but that's the exception. When I call her she almost always picks up or calls me right back. I try to keep texts to maximum 4-5 per day (mine to her). I sprinkle in random funny/cute pictures as she loves them and she sends me pretty funny stuff back.

She's not really a social media addict she just looks at stuff she likes online on one of those aggregator sites and doesn't comment. She'll send me pictures of a cake she wants to bake or something like that. I really enjoy her. When I'm around her I make sure to listen to her and show her that I care without being her solution man, but I tell her plenty about what I have going on, she really likes to be supportive of me. Depending on my schedule we see each other (including sleepover at my place) once or twice a week or sometimes one night during the week and multiple weekend days/nights.

Just recently I let her keep a toothbrush at my place, she doesn't leave anything else there (well other than normal leave behinds), she keeps all her stuff in a neat pile in my room when she comes over, she never assumes she's going to stay over, but comes prepared when it's a significant possibility. When I didn't see her for nearly 2 weeks while I was working/traveling we had mindblowing sweaty ridiculously fun sex for what seemed like forever when I got back. While I was gone I tried to shoot her a picture whenever we were doing a neat activity, but otherwise didn't talk to her that much except for a few times on the phone briefly and some sporadic texting.

I think it's more how much she's into me than my particular communication, but communication definitely plays a pretty important role in relationships.
