- As much as I like spending time with the blonde chick. I might limit her to the old rule of twice every 10 days maximum.
- I'm not sure why everyone recommends that but the sheer number of guys recommending it is making me think I should do it.
See them more often, and they get attached and expect a mono relationship very quickly. Seeing them once per week implies that you're seeing other girls (or that you're busy doing other things in general) and that you're not too desperate to see her.
At some point it will become a necessity too. With the three girls I'm seeing regularly now, with the odd new lay, that's having sex four times per week. That's enough. I don't
want to see them more often at that point, or sex starts to feel like a performance I have to do instead of being this fun thing.
See them less often, and there's just a higher chance of them going on other dates and meeting other guys who
do promise them monogamy. Most girls are fine with having sex only once a week. But going two weeks without? A new date is only one swipe on Tinder away for them.
If you read my log, the case in point is Vocal Girl. I let my ego get in the way and didn't see her for two weeks, and surprise surprise, suddenly she doesn't want to keep our thing going anymore. A complete 180 from our previous convo when we discussed getting champagne and going to a sex shop together. I'm nearly 100% certain there's just another guy in the picture, and the guy got his chance because I didn't see her for two weeks. If I had, she would've probably just ignored him. And because of the long break, she also had the time rethink her life without being influenced by the happy chemicals she would've gotten had she been with me.
I follow the once-a-week rule religiously because when I don't, shit goes wrong. I was reminded of that very recently.
The only exception btw, is when you need to get to lock-in. So if you had sex with a girl once, schedule the next date as soon as possible. Even the day after. Don't wait a week.

I'm fairly certain that the rule was initially made up so newbies wouldn't get overly excited when they got a new chick and scare her away by constantly trying to see them. But ignore it at your own peril. The rule served me really well over the course of my dating career.
