If you have gotten cozy with your dating scene and are loving spending time with the new person in your life, it’s possible that very soon you may want to spend all your awake time with them.
Or vice versa, where your date can’t have enough of you and wants to spend literally all their time with you.
Too much of anything is bad, and the same is true for your dating or relationship game too. If you don’t give some space to each other, chances are that you can very soon end up smothering each other, which will eventually also spell the end of your relationship.
Quality time together is very important no doubt, but if you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to take a short break and do something away from your partner.
You’re Barely Connected With Your Friends Anymore
While you had a rocking connection with your friends in your past life (before you got dating with this person), it now seems that this was really a thing of a few lifetimes past. You have no idea what your friends are doing, what new events are happening in their lives, you’ve not met up in a long time and they barely call you any more to participate in something or just to hang out even.
Your friends were there with you before your partner came along, and they will probably stay with you till later too, if you can give them that importance again now.
You Haven’t Done Anything Fun On Your Own In A Long Time

When was the last time you spent an entire free day or an entire weekend on your own, or in your own way, without your partner around, or without calling them up and talking to them? Have all your days involved your partner in some or the other way? If you think it’s been a good few months before you got any time just for yourself, on your own, or people other than your date, you do need some breathing space now.
Taking a small break now will give you a clearer perspective of whether you are spending all your time with your partner because you crave this, or because you don’t have anyone or anything else, or if you do love spending time on your own but your partner does not like that idea?
You’re Getting A Bit Bored
Have you already reached that stage where you have started getting bored when you’re with your date and feel there is not really much to talk about? Maybe you’re sitting together and having a meal, but don’t really know what to talk about? This definitely means you’re doing everything together, and as a reason, there’s nothing new to talk about anymore.
When you spend some time away from each other, you’ll have individual experiences that you can then share with your partner, and that will make for more interesting and fun conversations.
Talk to your partner and tell them what you’re feeling. Keep in mind that this is not a breakup, it’s just sometimes you want on a regular basis to do things in your individual space, which will help keep up the spark in your relationship too.
