Guys - this isn't really what to text next, but didn't know where else to put this, and I didn't want to start a new thread.
One of my preferred plates is currently playing a game. We're not in the same country at the moment (I'm back in my home country for a month, she's in EE). Her interest level when we're together seems high.
Since the distance she's stopped initiating texts. The catch is, when I do text she responds almost immediately and a thread is started, her enthusiasm is good, asking if we could facetime, etc. It's just that she never initiates anymore, putting me in a very low-value position of having to re-engage every few days to maintain contact before I return.
I could just stop contacting her altogether until I'm back in her city. But that might backfire. I'm at a loss. Should I not care about re-engaging if her enthusiasm is always high?
So it means you're invested somewhat more in her, than she is in you if it ls always you reaching out UNLESS that has been the script you've co-developed from beginning. If she's ultra-feminine and passive she may assume that's how it works - you lead, she follows.
However, you're asking the question suggests, it hasn't been like that before and you think you need to redress the balance. No doubt, a woman needs to be emotionally invested in you, ideally think about you, day-dream about you to keep it work, especially at a distance. There are different means to accomplish it and your method is better than nothing. However, it can be worrying she does not initiate any contact, and this is usually not a good sign. If you care about someone, you expect them to reach out with some reasonable regularity (which can differ from particular couple's setup, be it 10 times a day or just a few times a week).
If you really want to figure it out, put it to the test. Just don't contact her, and see how many hours/days will it take her to contact you. It will tell you where you are in her mind. However, psychologically, unpredictable, intermittent rewards work best. One trick you can do, assume she's long gone. It will generate outcome independence and clearer mind in execution. The more you worry, the more it will leak out as unbalanced, the more she withdraws, the more you pursue, the higher chance it will truly blow up. After all, its a long distance relationship and they are almost exclusively unworkable and not worth the effort.
