we met during the pandemic when no one could move around so it was ideal. We faced timed every night. I went to visit her in Cali a bunch of times. I'm in Philly./
I feel like as soon as the summer hit I think she just wanted something closer.
Also I think she would have liked the former version of me better. She's really into music and I used to be a DJ. I'm pretty sure she would have loved the DJ version of me as opposed to the professional gambling version/sports writer even tho I make more money now. I was betting 20K on NBA games and shyt.
I also think she had an ex that she was stuck on.
There's a lot I don't really understand because she was super into me and then over night was just done. I would have felt better about it if I truly got the truth but she hid a lot and got weird and defensive. I also lost someone who I would have been friends with regardless of whether we connected romantically or not. I don't feel bad at all honestly, even about reaching out to her after the fact and getting shytted on. I feel like reaching out to her kinda ended my hopes of getting her back for good and helped me move on even tho it still makes me mad when I think about it.
I actually met a badder chick with better p*ssy in Philly 2 weeks after she got distant but I invested so much in the Cali chick it had me stuck.
I went through a similar situation recently, but I turned it around.
We had a great valentine's date, but the next day I had to go back to where I'm living at the moment, and she went cold. I went a week or two texting her first, and she barely responded, if at all. shyt was fukking with me too because I got feelings for her, so I woke up the other day and just told her everything in a text, and I kept it mature and honest.
To summarize the text, I told her that I realized she's been distant and that it's a complete 180 from when we first started talking. I know as dudes we're supposed to act like we don't care and that we're all playa playa around here (especially on the coli with all these 6 cert brothers), but I kept it honest by saying the shyt was hurting my feelings. Told her straight up to be honest with me if she's no longer feeling this, then so be it, but it's not cool to keep people hanging around if she's not feeling them. I wished her the best and told her if this is our last convo then I'll miss her.
She apologized and told me that she didn't want me to move on. We've been fine ever since.
I'm glad I avoided coming to this thread for advice when the responses would have been advice that makes it worse. Because let's be honest, the responses would have been like: she's bored with you, so move on, you took her on a Vdate nikka someone probably smashing her for nothing while you're gone, etc. instead of telling me to communicate to her that I'm having an issue between us lol.
I changed my way of thinking. I'm not afraid to put in hella effort or show how romantic I can be for a girl anymore. shyt was all ego behind that fear. If a girl is "bored" with me or goes to another dude, she isn't playing me; she only played herself.
If a chick moves on from a solid dude who put in hella work to show interest in her who's seriously taking the L? Girls can get dikk anywhere they want but getting a solid dude who checks all the boxes and is fun to be around not an easy catch.
Providing empathy and having someone interested in you for who you are in this cruel ass world is not easy, especially with social media being at the palm of our hands. Everyone is always in what or who is next, so I've realized I'm winning either way because someone will appreciate it.
But obviously, she realized this after we talked it out because I was ready to bounce.
Sorry your situation didn't work out fam but don't let one interaction change how you move.
