I see this mentioned all the time when i'm reading this sub, specifically about women's need for validation. After reading about it i've started to notice previous encounters like that, where a woman i used to date seemingly out of the blue just starts talking to me. But does it always mean she's just playing, or are there exceptions?

Example: I had this thing with a girl a few months ago where we basically just had drunken sex every weekend for a while. Amazing body, great looks and overall seemed very fun. So i wanted to expand by having us meet more often so i could get my dick wet when sober too. She rejected this however, and told me she just saw this thing as something casual, and she then flaked on me after that. She used to snapchat me like every day before this. I occasionally met her sometimes when drinking, and she always came over to flirt with me and stuff, but she was mostly very drunk. She had not texted me or anything for probably a month. This weekend at a birthday party, I sent out this generic snapchat that i sent to lots of people, and out of nowhere she responed, and have been texting me for several days now. That night she also sent me a snap in bed with "i can't sleep", and i had responded with "want some company?". She didn't open it until next day and replied that she fell asleep lol. Before this, she seemed to not give a shit about me anymore, and didn't respond to generic snaps like that. So, is this her just looking for attention again? Maybe the other guy(s) she was fucking ditched her and now she's looking for validation?
