I can feel my interest level fading away due to this girl taking hours to respond my texts and contacts me every 5 days. So I want to make it easy for her and ask......

"Are you dating someone right now? Because if so I can stop contacting you"


I really hope she gives me a honest answer because I just can deal with a "inactive friendship" right now and see no point in having her number in my phone if we only talk once a week and have yet to see each other face to face. So I do plan to ask her this on the phone and not over text. And I hope she can be honest so I can just move forward with my life.


The Latest thing that she did was respond to a text I sent after I called her and I said......."Just saying hi and wanted to talk briefly, call you later"

Her response was..........."Hello" instead of......."Hello how are you?. So not going to play around anymore.

How much time do you spend with her in person? How much of your contact with her is limited to texting and phone calls? When you are with her does she receive a text and respond right away? Or do you not notice at all? It could be that she just doesn't pay close attention and takes a long time to reply.

If you do ask her that, be prepared for it to end either way. She may not take too kindly to the motive behind the question (lack of trust) and decide to move on. Proceed with caution.

Wait, is this long distance?

It's fine that she just said "Hello" in response, but perhaps she is just not attentive enough for you overall. Not communicating frequently with a BF would bother me too.

Sure, I think most women would be honest about dating someone else. However, if she answers, "No, just you," that doesn't solve what's bothering you, which is that she's not as responsive as you like.

She is not a girlfriend, we went out on 5 dates and we stopped talking for a year. So I ran into her again and then she invited me to come meet her at the bar while she was with her girlfriend. I told her no because it was too last minute and seems like things were not the same since then.

And she is not long distance. And I don't need to talk everyday but do want to talk atleast 2 or 3 times a week. Not once a week which is mostly texting and one phone call. So I rather just put my energy on someone because I never been a fan "Inactive friendships"

In 2011 when we went out five times she always called me and vice versa so now I'm not feeling the same interest. And I did stop talking to her for a entire year so if she is interested in someone else that's completely understandable. So it's not a frustration thing just rather not continue to contact someone who has inconsistent contacts

He said they've never met face-to-face.

OP, I think it's a very fair question that's likely to get a straightforward answer, under the circumstances.

Hmm. There might not be anyone else in the picture. She might just be busy and not that into you at the moment. People who take a long time to respond irritate me too.

JJ's spot on. Your question will lead to 2 answers:

A) Girl who is already seeing someone else and not interested in you
B) Girl who is not seeing anyone but shows no interest in you

Either answer sucks. Why not spare yourself and move on?
