my girlfriend of 1.5y took nearly two days to respond to a text I sent her. TRP, she knows I don't put up with this shit. In addition to repaying the favor; what's the most awesome way to fuck with her?

The most RP answer would just be to simply ignore her until she starts texting you incessantly or shows up at your doorstep. Girls think they have tons of power but go apeshit when they realize the guy doesn't really need them anymore.

I would not make a fuss about it. Often girls try to set up guys in no-win situations so that when a guy engages them, he looks weak or an overbearing asshole, which are both bad options for you. This gives the girls an excuse to fuck some other guy or cheat that weekend ("omg he was not supportive at all!"). The only way to win is to not even play their game. This situation is called a Hobson's choice in philosophy; it's when you give someone the illusion that there are only two options (but both of these options are nonviable for them). In your case: option 1) text back angry and upset=you are an asshole and lose. 2) text back worried and asking to know why she didn't respond=you look Beta and lose. Remember that no matter what, nothing she is doing is wrong in her mind (her hamster will rationalize it). Therefore, anything you do to imply she is wrong makes you look like an asshole and will push her away.

The only way to overcome this is to remove yourself from her game entirely. Redefine the game in your favor. Would you take a bet that some random person offers you? Of course not because it's already set up in their favor. Same thing here. Don't play her game and redefine it in your favor. Don't text her back at all this week and when she contacts you before the weekend, don't respond either, or just say "Oh hey. Going out for a guy's night out tonight. Made the plan earlier this week cause you were busy...ttyl". This will make her lose her marbles as she thinks only she is allowed to do this...

I've been in COUNTLESS situations like this where I contact a girl 2 days after a 1 night stand...nothing. It's gone. Then I wised up and never contacted them, and probably over half will end up texting me 5 days later wondering what is going on...

I know you said you don't want to break up, but taking that option off the table takes away a significant amount of power from you. Always be willing to walk away if things are unacceptable to you.

Put the effort into fucking someone else. Sounds like you've got some free time.

Start giving attention to her arch rival.

Don't base a relationship on texting. Its a broken medium.

There have been studies on texting, and it leads to kinds of social problems. Its like any other addiction, txt, reward, txt , reward, txt, then no answer and you are now suffering from withdrawal.

To fix it, phone people, a lot more is conveyed not just the sound of somebodies voice. I am not a fan of the phrase, but 'man up' and phone her. Nobody is going to die.

Neither of you two seem particularly fond of each other. Why is breaking up not an option?

Why do you want to limit yourself to her?

Most women start to lose interest after about 2 years which is close to 1.5. I think realize this relationship is going to stop being worth your time soon.

she's shit testing you, so it seems like she might think so.

Hormander · 2013-07-24T02:46:35+00:00

You want to fuck her deep?

Ok, stop giving her attention. Even if she contacts you. She'll go bat-shit crazy.

Also, you seem to give way to many fucks about this.
