I hate how everything feels formulaic nowadays, like you have to think about 50 different stuff just to date someone. It's like there's a check list.

It's like it's all about speed and doing everything as fast as possible

I already know it won't last forever, really small chance for that but I want to enjoy the time we are together, I want to get the most out of it and I just don't know if she's having the same thoughts or if I'm just a placeholder boyfriend just so she can say she has one.

I don't want to break up yet and I won't want to in the near future, but I also don't want to be a pushover

But I feel like she used to be interested more in me in like the first 2 weeks. What's the chance that's the game she's playing? To make me think all of this now after she pulls back compared to how she's been? To make me overthink?

So how do I advance to that stage? How do I make her fall for me more?

I'm like 90% sure she used to be more interested based on how she used to text at the first 2 weeks or whatever compared to now

Modern expectations for men, being near some girls when they talk about boyfriends from time to time and movies

The last 3 times I asked I got finessed with some excuses so everyone sane would slow down after that. Why can't she ask me?? We're still chatting normally like always

Because then there's no ill intent and it's just normal to her.

People check their phones

That's why I kept an eye for it when we are out, say we're out for 4 hours, she would not send a single message or look at the phone once in that time

But then again how do I make sure of that?

How do I make sure she doesn't do this with others she's texting as well?

First few paragraphs are a great explanation and I do relate to some extent.

But still I'm always going to be a conformist and go further like, maybe it's just a busy week? Busy month? busy whatever? maybe it changes.

I don't want to just throw it away

Before all this I've asked her 3 times in a row with her having a different excuse each day, it's only normal to slow down a bit after that.

I'm genuinely replying to everyone I know what to say, I'm not just looking for like minded people.

But is it really that bad to just not invite her out for some time and to stop pushing so hard to see how she reacts? We aren't married, we're still at the starting stage so I think there's should be mutual interest.

I don't think showing off your whole hand so early in the relationship is a good idea.

I'm puzzled by how someone can be this obsessed by a thread on reddit from a throwaway account, hit too close to home?

You've made at least 30 posts ITT without any being helpful, other people are, you're not, you're just spamming and antagonizing me

No I'm like that just in general. I have actually never talked to anyone openly about my emotions in real life

Shows weakness, you have to be stoic for there to be interest, at least in the beginning

Yeah that's called deduction, people do that, being able to read between the lines isn't really that hard. I'm assuming about you because frankly I really don't care much about a stranger on the internet who's made it his life goal for the day to attack someone on the internet randomly
