I haven't seen / haven't been seeing George for two days

[tigerduck]

Hello

I was wondering whether in the following sentence both the present perfect and the present perfect continuous can be used. If so, I assume it's just a matter of perception depending on whether the speaker wants to emphasize the fact/result (present perfect) or the activity/duration (present perfect continuous).

I haven't seen / haven't been seeing George for two days.

I haven't been seeing George for two days.

I haven't seen George for two days. Fine, but I would say, "...in two days."

You usually say 'I've been seeing somebody' to mean you have been involved with that person romantically, as in 'I've been seeing this girl for three months, and she's all that I could ever want'.
