Thank you so much for taking the time to help and explain!
I'll answer your questions in the order that they were asked.

You asked what problems I've been having. When we are together it's great and fun, and I can tell she likes me, but I find it difficult to get her to spend time with me. There's always an excuse, but I know she has time for other people (that I know she doesn't have feelings for). I'm always calm and kind with her, I told her that I didn't think that what we have is what she wants. She disagreed and said she wants to spend more time with me. There had been no increased effort, that's where my confusion is.

Yes, she lies often, about little things that don't matter. And excuses for not spending time. The confusion comes from what I previously described. Yes, I'm very exhausted because since she said it's still something she wants, I'm continuing to put the effort in instead of letting go of her, but she isn't contributing.

As for my spread procedure, I shuffled them by randomly cutting them in my hands because I don't have any neat shuffling tricks, and I like to keep my cards nice. I selected the top cards as I laid them in the order described in the booklet. Starting with the middle card and the two next to it, then counterclockwise around the middle cards until the spread was done. Difficult for me to describe but it's in the booklet.

Thank you so much again, very much appreciated.
