Rather than having to set up formal dates in advance, it could be that now things have become a lot more informal, and it's not out of place for one of you to just suggest that you just do something on the spur of the moment.<\/p>\n
You're always in touch<\/strong><\/p>\n If someone is going to be a partner, chances are you've been spending a lot of time texting. Since you like each other so much, you want to check how the other one is doing!<\/p>\n Home-time<\/strong><\/p>\n Spending a lot more time at each others' homes – rather than out and about – is a sure sign things are becoming increasingly intimate.
