Small-Scale Question Sunday for January 19, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Her being more eager to text/call you are good signs, the opposite is not. As long as you do not appear needy, you should be fine for a while. I turn off girls routinely over the phone and on text because I overgame them or go to the opposite end. As long as you are able to not care too much about the worst-case scenario, you should be fine as caring too much always leads to you being needy.

I don't think this is a good strategy if things are already serious.

I have never had a relationship. Those who I learnt from, yareally in particular mentioned that if you have friends with benefits who you meet once a week or more, then she will eventually fall in love with you, conversely if you are not around a girl physically, keeping attraction alive is hard. In your case, you already are doing fine. Refrain from texting her obsessively.

You can try having communication be centred around calling instead of texting since texts can eat up far more time, and convey way less and you can always just be a notification whereas calls let you be yourself far more.

Lastly, be ready to walk away, 4 years ago I was given the same advice here and I ignored it which led to my now infamous post about that one girl and learning pickup. You seem like a fairly upstanding guy so you should be fine but in case you think it is going sideways, be willing to walk away knowing you can always recreate special things.

What are the signs you know it will work?

Her investing more in you is the only visible sign. In every interaction, one person invests more than the other. I completely ignored this and thought that texting more meant more windows to make a girl like me, instead, I should have texted less, and not cared too much about her at all.
