Edit: I meant to include this in the title, I'm sorry if it changes the question. On top of how often do you take your partner on dates, how often does your partner take you on dates?

Once every couple weeks, maybe. But we don’t have kids, so time together is easy to find.
Ideally I’d like to do something more ‘special’ once a week. Financially, it’s like maybe once or twice a month…
Once every week or two weeks and we alternate who pays!
At least once a week.
we go once a month; been doing this for decades and it’s awesome.
Every couple of months, give or take. We take turns.
Child free. So every weekend. We both have Sundays off. So that helps too.
We are best friends and actually really like each other. we have our own hobbies and things but we usually parallel play to do them. We go out and do stuff together all the time. Even today we’re out on our bikes grabbing snacks from our favorite small businesses and just enjoying the nice weather.
As far as “dress up” dates, maybe once a quarter. We’ll go to a concert or performance of some kind, grab dinner.
Everyday is a sleepover with my best friend AND I have adult money to do whatever we want with.
For the record: 10 years married, we’re in our 30s, childfree.
We do a monthly date. We alternate who plans so there’s always a little surprise to look forward to.
Once a month we have an intentional date and we flip flop every month who’s in charge of the planning
I am not sure I understand the question, wouldn’t you normally just decide together where you’re going and what you’re doing once you’re at the “partner” stage (so not “newly dating)? I don’t know what distinction you’re drawing there.
He usually is the one who takes me on dates. I surprise him with flowers and gifts
We’re married so we don’t really take each other out. We make plans together and go out together.
Weekly on our mutual days off or a night off if I don’t have the weekend off. We are both easy going so we just decide on a whim what we want to do.
Every weekend 🙂
Weekly
Once a week. Date night is so important!
Every week or so , it doesn’t matter who pays . But I also think of dates as in just grabbing tacos and getting back home to snuggle up and talk.

We have date night every week where we get take out and just watch a movie and smoke weed together but we go out on a date date once a month
We have a standing date once a week to play trivia at a local brewery.
And go out to do other things 2-3 times a month
We don’t do a traditional date. We’ll have a baking day together, or if we’re going to a town with nice trails anyway, we’ll take a little hike while we’re there. For us, the consistent day to day time spent on each other is more important and I can’t remember the last time we went to a sit-down restaurant together (probably 2020?).
That being said, we work together, so will often take a break to spend time on whatever has come up together. We do have a strict sabbath rule for Sunday – as in, it is a day of rest and no abnormal work (aka, nothing beyond making the bed and cooking simple meals) can be done on Sunday. This means we get a day to reset – sometimes doing things together, sometimes not, but it is good for us and our relationship.
We spend a lot of time together doing random things like chores, errands, watching shows or spending time with friends. Actual dates that are planned ahead of time, just him and me, I’d say like once a month?
I wouldn’t phrase is as either of us taking the other on a date. We just go out together on a date
