How does one maintain relationships with women over longer periods of time after the initial work has been done? There's very little information on seddit about this.

I've only very recently started maintaining women for longer than a month or two and right now I have no idea what I'm doing. I'd like some tips keep women around for months and keep hanging out via giving them enough attention, providing them with emotional attraction, etc.

So let's say you meet a girl, go on two dates, have sex, go on another date.

Where do things go from here?

How do I behave and keep things going smoothly?

How do I keep her attracted to me so that she stays around?

Do I have to just keep taking her out on more dates? Do I still have to pay for stuff? Or can I just hit her up to casually hang out, not really go on a "date", then maybe have sex.

How often should I hang out with women? How often to do you text/call them?

Typically I hang out with the women I'm casually hanging out with once a week to maintain things are fresh, but in between there's literally no contact or texting, if she contacts me I ignore her and try to be a little distant, I do this on purpose to create uncertainty, which is attractive, ideally I'd like more contact but I don't want things to get boring. I often feel like I have nothing to say or talk about. Do you maintain the no texting rule that most of us keep to at the begining here or should I speak with them more so I'm in their memory?
