"Too busy" is a cop-out 99% of the time. If she has time to text you, she has time to see you. I'm speaking generally, of course.

In other words, if she truly liked you enough to take things further, she would find the time to meet.

Move on.

Texting a female for several months who does not want to meet you and spend time with you...

Nope, not for me.

Stop being available for texting. She'll make time or she won't. Do you really want a gf who hasn't been able to find a couple of hours to meet in MONTHS? What kind of relationship would you have??

My feeling is she doesn't really want to meet, but enjoys the way things are now. As long as you keep texting her, she has absolutely no reason to change anything. You need to find your backbone and be willing to set a boundary, including walking away if need be. You want to be treated with respect, but you need to treat yourself with respect first.

What do you want, a texting relationship or a real life relationship? Stick only to what's getting you closer to your goals in life. If it's not this girl right now, let go and move onto one who wants what you want.

I want to say I do online dating, and I would never in a million years talk to someone this long without meeting, so it's not a case of someone who doesn't understand telling you this.

If she even had the slightest interest in meeting you, she would have a long time ago. She's already in a relationship, she's just using you for an ego boost.

Ok...

Why does she need an ego boost from another man if she is in a relationship?

Because some ladies are screwed up like that.

They get their sex from one man and attention from another.

It could be that she is texting you for the interaction and so she has something to look forward to. She can very well just be biding her time until someone IRL comes along.

It's not unheard of to text for months if you are in a LDR, but I agree with others that being "too busy" is generally an excuse. If a person is crazy about another person, they will find moments in the day to send a simple message letting you know they are thinking of you.

Stop texting and Call her.

Ugh sometimes modern technology gives me the chills. When (or if) you two finally meet in person it's gonna be awkward.
