I've tried different ways of texting but I always end up losing plates that I've slept with via text. I've tried hardly responding, being flirty, being more serious, being more friendly, being less friendly. But I can't seem to get it to work as well as it should.

Most recent plate for example. Sleep together 4 times, relatively short period, only texted on the day. She's went away for a couple of weeks to somewhere else in the country. I don't message for the first week and then message to keep things ticking over.

Messages are all good from her, long full of emojis with banter. Reply times vary alot. I take several hours to respond often and she does the same back.

And then the other day messaging okay but I felt lower investment from her in the messages so I reply with a simple low investment one line.

And she reads and blanks it.

Leaving my forced to ghost her until she's back my way when I can try reengaging, but at this point I know it's unlikely to work out now.
