Hello. I'm 21 this year and currently in a bit of a dilemma.
Skip to last paragraph for Tl;Dr
Here's the story.
I've ever only been in a r/s once when i was 13. And i wouldn't really call it a serious one either as i was still young and didn't fully comprehend the meaning of a r/s.
So about a month ago i met this girl from a mutual friend. We were playing some mobile game and she was in a skype call with us.
After a couple of days of gaming i started to text her. ( something about me, i'm not a very verbal person. But i wouldn't consider myself to be introverted as well. )
The first 2 weeks we were really hitting it off; talking very consistently. Subsequently, i tried asking her out but she claims that she doesn't want to as she had just broken up. I told her that it was fine and im willing to wait.
Now here's the thing. Even after she broke she still meets up with him and tells me that they broke off on a amicable terms and the two of them are still good friends only. However meeting up like 3 to 4 times a week doesn't really help to forget does it? Of course i have no say in this and never really brought it up again.
Anyway recently shes starting to dial down on her replies and when i ask her like if she was busy or maybe if she was upset at something i said. She kinda just last seen me or send me a sticker. We were on terms whereby she will occasionally send me a picture of herself ( nothing sexual ) when i mentioned something that has to do with body/facial features. Sometimes she will ask me what am i doing randomly or if i didn't reply her.
And also we've been texting everyday without fail that is why now that shes replying quite monotonously or not even replying at all i feel like i shouldn't put in as much effort myself either. Because this whole week i felt like i was the only one actually trying to make a conversation whereby shes only replying to whatever words that interests her.
Tl;Dr:
So long story short i'm really interested in her but because she doesn't seem as interested; i don't know if i should continue investing my time in her. I'm also considering removing her from social media and to kinda like keep a distance from her. But that seems like sort of an escape method for me. I'm not sure really. Any advises will be appreciated.
