Maybe she is over being the one to initiate contact all the time...
[–]weedils 77 points78 points79 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Its 1000% this.
[–]BeastMasters92 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah, lol.. like dude.. LEADING!
[–]eeoflorida 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah. Maybe she met someone who is excited to communicate with her
[–]PelletsOfMescaline 27 points28 points29 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
She’s exhausted playing the masculine role and making decisions for him like his mother
[–]cobraCL 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes! Fuck yes.
[–]dustyraisininacorner 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yup

He deleted the post, can you tell me what the question was
[–]gemini88mill 69 points70 points71 points 4 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
If your seeing the girl, why are you guys still playing games?
[+]dregandragan -82 points-81 points-80 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
I’m not playing games but I do notice that she is constantly testing me so I was wondering if this was yet another test.
[–]Snight 79 points80 points81 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The projection is strong with this one.
[–]weedils 58 points59 points60 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You are way too much in your head buddy. Stop projecting.
She is not testing you, she is just tired of being the only one to ever initiate anything.
The only one playing games and testing anyone in this situation, is you.
[–]funkmaster322 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
This is what happens when you watch too many pick up videos and follow too many dating gurus online.
[–]YungxMidorya 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Pretty much. He just should've did what felt right for the moment instead of questioning everything
[–]gemini88mill 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If she is testing you then why? You guys are already seeing each other. That sounds like a red flag
[–]Kimaris-Vidar 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If it is, you failed

I think he responded initially then stopped
[–]desal 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
yeah he didn't specify, from reading the post it sounds like he didn't respond to her invitation but hopefully he did.
maybe op should try to call her
[–]Lopsided_Jackfruit37 26 points27 points28 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Dude... wtf.
I would ignore you too. If I had to initiate all the conversation and plan the dates, I would get upset that you're not putting it the same effort and find someone who will. Let this be a lesson to you next time.
[–]kathruins 18 points19 points20 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
she's passing you the ball to see if you even care to initiate. the damage may already have been done, but you could salvage it if you put in effort. sounds like she's been putting in a lot. it works best if its 50/50 from the get go, not 100% from her for two weeks and 100% from you the next week. sounds exhausting.
[–]bamfbamfbamf 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You’re the one testing her lol. Stop playing games next time.
[–]waverunnr 10 points11 points12 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
She’s reduced her contact because she met someone else who treats her better.
Obviously.
[–]LolaBijou 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It’s not a test. She’s over you, and sick of being the one to initiate everything.
[–]BitchLetEmKnow 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Love how you seem to only respond to the very few comments validating the fact that you think her sudden lack of interest is because she's testing you.
She's not.
She's waiting for you to take initiative to show you're just as eager to make an effort to see her like she's been making with you.
Reply and ask questions and reach out first = she believes you're interested and willing to make the effort
Don't reply, continue to wait for her to say something else and hold out till she's done "testing" you = don't be surprised if you never hear from her again.
Sucks to see you literally fuck up a good thing for you cause you can't be bothered to offer a hang out/date idea. If she wants someone to just follow her lead, she'll get a puppy.
[–]dregandragan 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You are probably right and I think I needed to hear this, I just texted her. Will keep you updated
[–]BitchLetEmKnow 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Appreciate it. Hoping for the best for you :)
[–]kona1160 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Lol no she is just fed up of being the one to initiate 90% of the time, I know because I'm in her position right now with someone. Unless she shows interest I'm not going to bother
[–]Connect-Pear-3859 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
She's found someone who responds/initiates first.
[–]Constant-Will7622 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wants to go on road trip = huge interest sign.
Maybe shes busy, you know, planning it?
[–]Grallmab 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Maybe she has a life? Haha, not like its been days with no response, if she likes you she'll respond, if not then you've saved each other precious time
[–]sussykeke 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Everyone's got their phone in their hand all the time these days homie. If there's a delay, it's not because she's too busy to answer
[–]GreatScotRace 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
But being on your phone doesn’t mean you’re obliged to text somebody back. Aimlessly scrolling through tiktok ain’t the same as engaging in a meaningful conversation
[–]sussykeke 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm just saying she doesn't have to have a life lol
[–]Grallmab 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yh agreed, my point being why worry about her not replying when she clearly isn't, plenty more fish, grab a fishing pole and row out to sea
[–]serialkiller_mne 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
She might have got bored of your ignoring so she fires back? She may have some self respect, you know?
[–]attlif 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You treated her like a random pick ho and she took your balls and slapped you across your face. Now you’re simping to get her back, over compensating, and she’ll likely be repelled and … see ya OP.
If you weren’t prepared for this outcome, you shouldn’t have engaged in it. Lesson learned. She woke up to finally understand her worth / value.
[–]dregandragan 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I finally ended up texting her yesterday and she answered almost immediately so she came to my place and we hung out all night.
[–]L4b_kira 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
She wants you bro
[–]WeebInTraining69 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
sometimes girls pull away for no reason idk why but u have to give them space
lol ppl downvote cause me and the guy above me spit facts being 2 available leaves u on delivered while she’s replying to the dude who isn’t opening hers lol
[–]CyberliskLOL 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm assuming "seeing this girl for quite some time" means you had sex? This is usually the point where most if not all of the control shifts from the girl to the guy. What this means is that now you are the one who shouldn't do what you don't wants girls to do when they are largely in control, which is playing games and shit. Take responsibility and behave like a standup guy. If this was one of your male friends you'd just ask him what's wrong and try to rectify the situation, right?
So just tell her you want to talk and you'd like to clear some things up. If she has any interest at all, this is bound to get her attention. Then tell her straight up that lately she hasn't been responding to your texts, ask her if everything is alright or if there's some kind of problem that maybe you should talk about. And yeah, basically just go with the flow.. tell her how you feel and how you'd like to proceed from here and she'll likely do the same.
[–]Nixu123 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Probably
[–]BreakinLiberty -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Bro if a girl is initiating contact all the time she is interested. She won’t even care if she has to do it
But give her some extra attention here and there once in a while.
Have you guys had sex yet? Give her some good D and she will be initiating 100% of the time and you will never have to do much texting
I actually hate texting much anyways since i like to save conversations for in person
[–]rasputin424 -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
My friend do not let all these women gaslight you. As long as you were responding to her and not playing games she will continue to text you because women communicate more frequently than men and when a woman likes you she takes the initiative to text you. My question is how long is quite some time? If we’re talking 3-6 months or more she not fed up there is someone else. Something none of these women will admit is a woman will pour a lot of energy into communicating with a man who she is using to try and replace her: Exboyfriend or the dude she really wants but he don’t really want her, and put him out of her mind. The sudden drop off in communication means she either went back to someone old or is pursuing someone new. Be thankful that you didn’t invest too much into her and just wait for her to respond as you have been. Her reason for going ghost when/if y’ll do talk will tell you everything you need to know. If she REALLY was tired of initiating communication she would have told you so but if she didn’t then it’s not the issue. Don’t let these women fool you they like initiating texts especially with men they really like. Stay strong my boy. 😉
[+]sussykeke -14 points-13 points-12 points 4 years ago (21 children) | Copy Link
Yeah could be a test. This does happen where the girl is super interested and suddenly goes cold. Talk to some other girls in the meantime, do some cool shit. If she texts back, make her wait for a while before answering
[+]dregandragan -20 points-19 points-18 points 4 years ago (20 children) | Copy Link
I agree, she has 100% seen my message. The question is if I should play it cool and treat it like a test or if she actually is getting tired of me not initiating things as much as her.
I tend to think that if a girl REALLY wants you, she will make sure to get you no matter what right? She is also extremely attractive so I don’t want to be too easy like all other guys running after her.

Why did they get friendzoned?
[–]mmmm_frietjes 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Can you elaborate? What kind of effort do you expect?
[–]sussykeke 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Ay man don't listen to that person, I've seen them post bullshit advice all over this sub, disregard what they're saying for your own good, always claiming they're a "hot woman".
[–]crash1082 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I’m also a super attractive hot woman… just trust me

Probably this one https://www.reddit.com/r/FemaleDatingStrategy/
[–]Lit-Up 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
The amount of failed romantic connections on my insta is hilarious.
Why is it hilarious? Hilarious for who? Sounds kind of sad.
So many (not even particularly attractive) men that genuinely had a shot and got friend-zoned.
It does sound like you're a bit picky.
you can be replaced in 0.03 seconds
The attention can be replaced, sure. But the person who pays you attention is not merely an attention-provider.
If you discount people on the basis of superficial things because you can replace them in 0.03 seconds it sounds like you will find it hard to make genuine connections
It doesn't matter which one of the two is the case, you'd do the same thing in either case. However - you can't overdo it with the "ignoring her" part though, or else she might lose interest.
So what I would do is definitely don't reach out to her unless she responds back. In the meantime try to have fun, talk to some other girls.
Try to build a little bit of dread in her - if you've got her added on Snapchat, post a story with you and a different girl. If you can't get another girl to take a picture with, just post a story of yourself having fun. This works wonders cause now she feels threatened.
If she responds, make her wait a bit, then try to set up a date / hangout. Don't text her just to talk, only to set up date logistics. If she wants to talk more with you, she can wait for meeting you irl.

How has “playing it cool” been working out for you the last week?
[–]Sumbuddyonce 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Reciprocate.
It's good to have her chasing you but if you don't do the same sometimes she'll get bored.
Make a plan for this road trip, include things you know she'll like. Show her you remembered things she said. Then pitch the idea
[–]TheykeepgrowingUU 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Call her.
[–]reddunt3 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
There could be thousands of reasons, things happening in her life that have nothing to do with you. You don't know.
If you are still in early stages, best thing is to simply train patience and wait , if you were the last one to text.
If she is actually interested she will aaaaalways come back when she's ready.
[–]cobraCL 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
No. Any relationship where one party consistently has to carry 90% of the effort will fail.
Even natural hunter/pursuers will grow tired of settling for breadcrumbs off your table. It is only natural for any person who respects themselves to back out.
[–]maxpossimpible 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You're playing it too cool man.
You need to match her text frequency and initiations otherwise she will move on because she thinks you're not serious or you don't like her.
[–]FIVE_6_MAFIA 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
She found a new guy that she likes more, she's not into you
[–]ashwheee 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I really wish I could read this content because the comments have me intrigued.
[–]ashwheee 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That’s what I figured. Which is funny because I can totally relate to the girl if that’s the case. In fact, one of my most recent posts is about a somewhat similar issue
