Some women are like that. Is that a deal breaker for you, or is it something you can move pass?
I think as long as she does respond and is willing to hang out you're golden. Don't overthink it dude.

It’s not per se a deal breaker but I feel like it shows me that she’s not interested for a relationship the way she described.
[–]13france 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Do you know whether or not, she also seeing someone else ?
[–]justadudenameddave 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I do not.

Talk to her.
Tell her you want a relationship but that it seems like she's not interested because she doesn't reach out first at all, even though you two have progressed past intimacy and are both wanting a relationship. Ask her if there's something she needs or if there's something you're missing, because you need to know if this is going to become a relationship or if she has decided she'd prefer casual.
My guess - she doesn't want to scare you away by overtexting and smothering you, but she's gone the compete opposite way now and is appearing uninterested.
If she says she wants a relationship, ask if that means you are her boyfriend and if yes, you'd very much like for your girlfriend to message you first and send memes or just a hello call. This is meant to be said in a teasing/friendly way. Ie if she's your girlfriend, call or text!
An honest conversation will tell you where you're at and if this is worth pursuing.

Well, I'vw been doing that with a girl and in my case, I don't want to develop the relation you know? So I just talk to her when we see each other, otherwise I rather play it cool
[–]justadudenameddave 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yeah I get that but did you make it clear to her that that is your intention? We both started with the premise that we are both looking for a relationship
[–]Luckyguy_10 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I didn't yet. But if you guys did that, so maybe you should not care too much about it for your and her sake. Yours because it's taking your energy too much, yo've even made a post asking advice. For her cause she can feel pressured to play a role that she has to chay with you online... if things are going well on the face by face things I beleive it's good right? And if you still continue unconfortable, talk to her about it and make your points. Good luck

Dont stress it some girls are like that. Had a FWB for 1 year and she initiated contact maybe 10% off the time. When you want to meet text her and repeat that until she turns you down 2 or 3 times in a row.

Biologically spoken: I think she has sex with you and want a relationship, because you give her comfort. The comfort releases oxytocin which creates a connection. This hormone is important for having the women’s babies raised in a comfortable environment with a caring dad.
If she doesn’t initiate contact, she doesn’t want your babies badly enough. She needs dopamine (and not oxytocin) to want your babies.
So unconsciously she wants you for comfort and gives sex in return. But for the father of the babies, you don’t give enough dopamine.
Solution: Show some alpha traits (don’t decrease the beta traits, because they are also important). You can do this by not initiating contact after you had contact. This shows your sexual value, because “you don’t need her, you are doing fine on your own”. If you have social media that she follows, show that you have fun, live your life, are an independent strong man.
And if she still doesn’t initiate contact, she probably has someone else, a extremely busy life, not enough interest in you. Then she is NOT worth it.

Solid advice. Also lmao your username.
[–]TheDutchFapstronaut 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Hahaha yep. You know what it means?
[–]justadudenameddave 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Anything to do with the Dutch rudder or being a Dutch fapper?
[–]TheDutchFapstronaut 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Hahaha good guesses but a fapstronauts abstains from fapping completely. Btw as a Dutchman I didn’t even know about the Dutch rudder xD.
[–]justadudenameddave 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah Zack and Miri make a porno is a great movie, but also fucked
Damn bro, how does that work, don’t you get the urge or do you have sex instead.
[–]TheDutchFapstronaut 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Urges are strong when you stop, but they fade. Sex remains the only option. Unfortunately not a lot of sex, but working on increasing that also.
And when I do have sex, it’s of a level you can’t even imagine if you fap.
[–]infinity_beyond123 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Like don’t text her for a week and see if she texts you, if not that means she is not really interested in it as she said.
[–]justadudenameddave 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Let’s say I don’t hear from her, do you have an idea of a closure text I can send her?
[–]Asphyxa 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Why do you need to send a closure text?
[–]justadudenameddave 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Decency I guess?
[–]Asphyxa 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
A great friend of mine once told me. "No closure is also closure". You don't need to put a definite end to things. Just don't reach out and go meet somebody else. If she reaches out that's great and if she doesn't that's great too.
You're fooling yourself into thinking you're being decent, it's just a need of yours to get affirmation. Let go of that. She doesn't care whether you send a closure text or not.
Thanks, makes sense.
[–]infinity_beyond123 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yep, I agree
[–]OkIssue5589 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Did she say she wanted a relationship with you, or that she was just looking for a relationship?
When we had our first date we talked about what we were looking for. She never mentioned that she was looking for one specifically with me on any of our 4 dates.
[–]Solid_Bat_66 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
sorry but you are not her #1 option. she is also banging SOG
stop iniating and give her less time and see what happens, if you never hear from her move on or assume you have a mild FWB
Thanks. Sounds reasonable
[–]Guts1803 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That’s imho just bitch gaming. If he bangs her still, why should he give up on that? Don’t let you caged by rules
[–]Solid_Bat_66 -1 points0 points1 point 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hard to understand what you mean.
I’ll clarify:
do what you like, never said give up
said situation is likely she’s banging someone else (but maybe not just be aware it’s likely) keep as FB or FWB if that’s what he wants
But it sounds like he wants more (ie LTR)
I Don’t understand “bitch gaming” or how you mean it
Also last line makes no sense

My girlfriend right now is a horrible texter and I always think she’s not interested but when I call she says she’s waiting all day for my texts.
Some people are like that maybe FaceTime or call is a better option
Haha, the girl I am talking about is not like that and she told me she prefers texting. I wouldn’t be as worried if her texts were more than 5 words.
[–]rafr256 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Yikes, if she doesn’t call or FT and sucks at texting that might be a red flag...
[–]justadudenameddave 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That’s what I’m worried about. At least if she told me: “hey fuck off” or “I’m not interested” it would be better.

I personally hate texting. I'd rather talk on the phone. It's not always that she doesn't like you. It took me 6 years to become a 'texter',and thankfully have reverted back to not being a big texter due to Covid. I was notorious for not responding to friends, let alone a SO for hours or days. I prefer to hear someone's voice. It could also be that she's knows it can seem needy to respond right away, and she's confident enough to respond when she has the time. Not all women need to text all the time, every day and night.
Also, I know that during Covid, I went from being able to text whenever I wanted to, specifically to family/friends, to being so busy there were days where I didn't even eat until 4PM, let alone check my personal phone.
But sincerely, it's really nice to hear someone's voice that you're interested in regardless. Even more so after a long day, just a quick call to say hi and see what's up.
