There is a female friend whom I’ve been texting with for a few months. We first met less than a year ago and have gone out a couple of times. Unfortunately, she is now completing her postgrad in another country and even after she’s done, we may not end up in the same place (we’re from different countries). I’ve been hoping to keep in touch with her as a friend, since the distance makes it impossible anyway.

We got along well and she always responded enthusiastically, we shared a lot and we have many shared passion and interests. However, one day, out of the blue, she started responding slower and less often, and she would reply to some of my texts, but not others. I don’t believe I did or said anything wrong that triggered that, nor did I take things too fast. It was all just friendly conversations, asking basic and harmless questions, trying to get to know her better. She doesn’t completely ignore me and some of the texts are still friendly. However, isn’t it odd that she would not reply to some of my texts, as a friend?

Not if she’s busy or trying to cut back on the communication.

Let's see... You went out all of twice.... She's in school... You're long distance.... You're crushing on her but there's been no progression... Why would you expect this to last?

Not odd at all. There is someone else in her daily life that is getting her attention. Did you think she would wait chastely for you?

No, not odd at all....more expected I'd say.
She's got a life...in a different country
It's more odd that you expect her to reply..

When people expect certain responses and acknowledgements to their posts, especially from someone who lives no where near them, things are bound to go sour.

I am surprised that you are surprised.

Seems to be a rash of these LDR’s goin south as of late? Personally I never got why someone would subject themselves to to trying to navigate a close relationship when they’re thousands of even hundreds of miles apart. Especially in cases where they’ve never even met.

Why don't you just ask her?

The fact that she moved away from you though doesn't bode well. I would write her off. There are millions of women out there. Why tie yourself down to a relationship that doesn't exist with a gal 10000 miles away?

Unhappy How to deal with a girl (friend) who suddenly ghosted for no reasons?

The short story is: I met this girl last year, been texting for a few months (since we live in different timezone). It's been going very well when out of a sudden, she started responding less frequently, sometimes not replying back. I know she's been busy, so would sometimes switch topics and she would then reply back, sometimes enthusiastically. But, I recently found out that she might have finally "ignored" me on messenger as the messages didn't get delivered... I feel really bad now because she might have felt pestered, where my intention was purely to develop a friendship and get to know her better. I don't believe I've come off too strong, it was all pure friendly conversations.

Why would she have done that and is there anything I can do? I really like her and above anything else and especially with the distance, I just want to be her friend and get to know her better?
