In speaking with a friend regarding conversation between men and women who are dating, this is what they said:
So I asked someone who knows about these things and she said that it originates from the gemara, and is in the shulchan aruch, that a couple should not speak too often; there are certain rules to that, and the [last Lubavitcher] rebbe said that a couple shouldn't talk too often. There are people who adopted seeing each other once a week in addition to speaking on the phone once a week. That is a common practice but not everyone talks so little – some talk more often – but there are guidelines to it.
The only source I could find for this was Mishna, Pirkei Avot 1:5, and that is more general. I've looked superficially in Shulchan Aruch, Even HaEezer; and Mishneh Torah, Issurei Biah. I can find nothing concrete.
Please provide specific sources for such an idea, if it indeed comes from traditional Torah sources.
