How often did you talk to your other half when you first started?

Hello all, I'm in a bit of a situation here, assessing whether or not to ask a friend to be my girlfriend - I would've done it months ago but for the fact that we don't speak much when we haven't met up. When we meet up (weekly or fortnightly) we have a great time but in between hardly speak to eachother. In your experiences did this pick up as the relationship went on? Or should it be there from day 1 given that you both want to speak to eachother? Bearing in mind this is a girl friend of over 5 years.
