exclusive dating

I'm coming up to 2 months dating a wonderful woman. We're both 31 yrs old and have been on a about 7 dates so far. We've also recently become exclusive

At the moment we've ramped up our time together to 2 days a week seeing each other and a few conversations in between dates. Most of the time these are weekends so its full days.

I wanted to gauge if this amount of time spent is too much to soon? We're in a great place right now with chemistry, sex, energies, etc.
My concern though is conversation burn out...Spending 20+ hrs a week communicating though makes us at times to go into places where we go silent at times.

I've dropped into her about being ok giving her space if she wants to see friends/flip around days, how she likes to be texted/called..She seems to want me around a bit.

Too much, too soon? No such thing - as long as you’re both happy with it.
You’d have to ask her a bit more specifically to be sure - sounds like she is though, are you?

As long as it’s a comfortable silence I wouldn’t worry too much about conversation slowing down. A full day is a long time.
Don’t put pressure on yourself, just enjoy time together

thanks for the feedback here. I just hear about couples sometimes where they ramp up a lot of time together and it burns out quickly...

Her response is call/text me anytime so I think she wants to hear from me as much as possible. The silence is ok...after this amount of time together I'm finding her energy is balanced between both engaging but also quiet at times too. I'm wondering if its because there's so much time talking and not doing anything else that we hit dips too.

So far no red flags though..just trying to find ways we can both be comfortable
