Back story: I'm an American who has been living in Thailand for three years. I recently went back to work; I play music on a cruise ship. I connected with a hot Thai girl on a Thai dating app called, "ThaiFriendly." She seems pretty into me but I'm going to be away working for seven months.

How can I possibly cultivate and maintain interest for so long via text, WhatsApp. We actually have video chatted as well. I suppose that I have already cultivated an attraction with her but am concerned about this long term game.

I have shown interest; perhaps too much. I've studied "game" for many years but this particular girl is smokin' hot and I really hope to date her when I return to Bangkok.

I'm not going to text her today or tonight; tomorrow, I'm going to be in Hawaii for a few days. I'm planning to take a number of "cool" photos of myself in various situations to demo my lifestyle.

If you think it foolish to think that I can game this girl for seven months, I'd have to agree with you but I must try.
