What should I do about this girl that I really like?

Maybe she’s just not that into you.

Or maybe because of work she’s forgetting to respond.

Or maybe both.

Have you asked her out more than the 2 times in four months?

To me, 2 times in four months is not going anywhere.

@abheem You need to each give each other some room to BREATHE! Don’t put her on the spot about not responding IMMEDIATELY. Jack down a couple of notches and enjoy life.

@si3tech: “Jack down a few notches” from seeing someone twice in a four month period?”

@jca Ha, I was thinking the same thing!

He should totally jack it down about not receiving a text during working hours, though, regardless of the number of outings.

If she really liked him, she’d find thirty seconds to respond to a text even if it was at lunch time or break time, morning, noon, night, sitting on the toilet, whatever.

Meh. I’m over this societal expectation that we’ll be available within 10 seconds, morning, noon, and night. Sometimes people have shit to do.

What should I do about this girl that I really like?

Message her less often and give her some space and then see if she pursues you at all?
If she does, great, if she doesn’t then keep looking for a girl that really, really likes you too.
You’ll probably be happier that way.

@jca No jack down from expecting her to instantly respond to a text.

@si3tech: I agree too but in a ten hour period, the person should be able to send one text to say hello (which is why I mentioned morning, noon and night – from morning to night, I don’t think one text is too much to ask).

I think @Seek gets the cigar for the most practical explanation as well as the tactful rendering of “she’s not nearly as desperate as you”.
