How to text him you want to see him more than once a week
Tell him you want more frequent dates without seeming needy. Text moves that frame it as excitement, not desperation.
Once a week usually means he's not prioritizing you yet, or he's unsure if you're worth reshuffling his schedule for. Either way, you need to signal that you're interested enough to ask for more, and confident enough to say it plainly.
A good text here does two things at once. It shows you actually want to spend time with him, not a given when you're texting casually. It makes the ask feel natural, not like you're checking if he likes you enough. The best ones are specific about what you want to do, or frame the ask around something real.
Timing matters here. Send this when you're both in a rhythm of texting back and forth, not after a long silence. His response will tell you whether he's interested in building something with you or just keeping you at arm's length.

He's not seeing you more often for a reason. Maybe he's juggling other people, maybe he's busy, maybe he doesn't feel pushed to make time yet. The pattern you're in right now is the one he chose. That doesn't mean he's a bad guy, but it means your current frequency doesn't match what you want.
Before you text him, be clear on whether this is a real incompatibility or just bad timing. If he cancelled plans or you've only been dating a couple weeks, it might not be the right moment. If you've been seeing him regularly for a month or more and he still won't budge, that's a signal about his actual interest level. Knowing which one this is changes what you're really asking for.
State what you want without making it a test
Good replies here name a specific thing. Not 'more time with you' but 'can we do something midweek' or 'I'd like to see you twice a week' or 'next time you're free, let's do something on a Friday instead of always Sunday.' He needs to know what you're actually asking for, not decode it.
The move is to sound like you want it because you enjoy him, not because you're checking whether he likes you back. A text that sounds like you're asking permission will kill momentum. One that sounds like you're offering a plan or stating a preference gives him something to say yes to. Don't apologize for the ask. Don't say 'only if you want to' or 'I know you're probably busy.' Just ask.
Send it on a weekday when he's actually free to read it
Don't text this in the middle of the night or right after he mentions being swamped. Weekday morning or early afternoon works better, when he's in a headspace to think about logistics instead of just reacting.
If he doesn't reply within a few hours, don't send another message. If he reads it and doesn't respond for a day or more, that's your answer. He either can't say yes, or he doesn't want to enough to prioritize it. At that point, stop bringing it up. You've stated what you want. If he comes back with a plan or agrees, great. If he ghosts or gives vague responses like 'I'll try' or 'let's see,' stop making yourself available every time he texts. Reroute that energy to someone who doesn't make you have to ask twice.
Why these replies fail
“I know you're super busy but would it maybe be cool if we could possibly hang out more than just once a week? No pressure though lol”
Apologizing and softening the ask makes it sound like you don't expect him to say yes, which doubles down the awkwardness.
“We should see each other more often. What do you think?”
Too vague and too much like you're testing the waters instead of saying what you actually want.
“It feels like you don't really want to hang out with me that much since you only see me once a week...”
Frames it as an accusation about his feelings instead of a straightforward ask about your needs.
Common mistakes
- Apologizing or softening it with 'I know you're busy' signals you expect him to say no
- Asking open-ended 'what do you think?' instead of naming a specific day or way to see him
- Texting this after he cancels or goes quiet, making it sound reactive and needy
- Using 'we should' or 'we never' instead of 'I want' or 'can we', too vague to act on
- Sending it late at night when you're in your feelings, not when you're calm
Questions people ask
- Should I wait longer before asking for more dates?
- Three to four weeks of consistent once-weekly dates is a fair baseline. If he hasn't suggested more time together by then and you want it, you can ask. Earlier than that is fine too if you're both clearly excited. The longer you wait, the more the once-a-week pattern becomes the standard.
- What if he says he's too busy right now?
- That's real information. Busy can mean he's actually swamped, or it can mean 'not interested enough to make time.' Pay attention to whether he's making other space in his life, or just avoiding it with you. If he's really slammed but has said 'once things calm down, I want to see you more,' that's different from just avoiding the ask.
- Is it weird to ask if he wants to see me more often?
- No. Stating what you want is normal. People who are interested in building something with you will get it. If he's put off by you wanting more time with him, that tells you he wasn't going to give it anyway. Better to know now than six months in.
- What should I do if he agrees but then doesn't actually make plans?
- Don't keep pushing. He said yes to the concept but isn't following through, which means he either forgot or didn't mean it. Stop initiating. If he wants to see you more, he'll make the plans. You've done your part. His move now.

“She went cold mid-week and I had no idea what to say. The reply I sent felt natural and she picked the chat back up.”
