What is a normal contact

In dating. I am a very happily single. But I work with a young crowd, I am close to 50, they are all early mid 20s. Some who are dating. Listening to a debate yesterday on how quickly things should be moving once numbers have been exchanged. Date three pressures and how one said, may I ad she is very attractive, that she was almost being bullied into texting this bloke, they met a few times, not dtd, however got on well, and she was saying how he would text her and if she didn't text in a reasonable timframe he said he would come to her house if she didn't respond and check on her, BTW he has never been in her house, but dropped her off, which I find screams red flags. I said that I would not put up with that, to which the young bunch thought it funny, or caring. What is the norm? Yes I tried Google but you lot are so much wiser and I would love to know just in case I happen to go on a date, in my old ripe age.

Well the younger woman with the impatient bloke situation sounds awful. If that doesn't raise a red flag, then she must be deluded into thinking it is normal behaviour.

I'm late 40s and when I started dating my new man it was a few texts a day, but mutually it crept up to messaging every evening, we chat about anything and everything. There's no pressure, though. If I am out/busy I just tell him I won't be available and he respects that.
