That is so manipulative. If somebody started to make themselves unavailable to me, I'd start ignoring the person back because it can be interpreted that there is a lack of interest.
My advice is just be direct and say you both need space OR be even more direct and say "I want to spend more time with you sort of like how we were dating at the start. What do you think of that?" End of story . She has needs that need to be met and sometimes the 3 times a week schedule needs to modified to 5 times a week.

You can't breathe anymore because air is unavailable. All of a sudden it becomes real valuable and in demand! Water - same thing. Make yourself unavailable to a point, but not so unavailable that he forgets who you are.

Your posts are great man- straight to the point with complete disregard to what others might "feel" because of them... the truth does hurt in most cases.

I'm sorry but are you being sarcastic? I'm not understanding your post.
I also said she could be direct, instead of manipulating the guy and just simply say "I'd like to see you more often next week. I've missed you"
I hate it when people manipulate. It is so irritating to me.

I meant you say the truth without worrying about how everyone will take it, and I like that.

It is a message board, so yes, I just say it without much worry.
