A year today me and my girlfriend started going out officially after 3 months of seeing. It was in this thread that I came to advice about how to initially approach the whole best friend to girlfriend thing. I know it's still early days but thank you GTP for getting me started on one of the greatest journeys of my life so far. 👍
 
The first year is the hardest. If you make it that far theres a real shot of it contuing on for a long time. Hope you guys go all the way. Good luck.

So remember the girl that I said I thought liked me? Well since I got her Instagram, I've been (trying) to start a conversation and talk about anything. But she would just reply once and then never seem to reply back until like three days have past.
If she likes me, she would reply back almost immediately, right? I mean, yeah sure, she has a life, but...ugh. :c

I'm assuming this is directed at me?

I wouldn't communicate though something such as Instagram. From what I've seen, Instagram isn't the most conversation friendly place. Also, I wouldn't expect anything except for a few smileys and such because it is a-lot more public.

(Little edit) Girls flake out on social media; best you can do is just talk to her in person. She can't really straight out ignore you without feeling like an ass.

I sent a blank picture using the "direct" thingymabob and we've been "talking" in the comments there.

Not really. 5 sentences max. Two sentences minimum. As i said, she doesn't reply much.

I think you should be fine. Definitely try and talk to her in person though. (Assuming you aren't really) I'm guessing she doesn't use Instagram that much so that could be one of the problems. Unless she starts ignoring you constantly in person and in social media then that's when you know you have a problem on your hands; I'd just say move slowly though.
 
Thanks. 👍 We have a study together tomorrow, so hopefully I can help her with math again. Especially since we have another state standardize test, on math this time, next week.
 
Don't get paranoid and DON'T EVER.... EVER.... EVER! Reply within a minute. If you reply immediately after she replies to you that is saying:

'I've been staring at my phone for the past _____ hours waiting for you to say something!'

Basically it makes you look desperate. Different people have different patterns.

I hate doing this. I want to reply but I don't want to look awkward even though I wasn't looking at my phone or computer at the moment. Sadly you have a wait a second to reply to someone without being seen as desperate lol
 
If you're in an active conversation, the rule doesn't apply. If he/she texted you, you wait a minute or two. Maybe half an hour, that way they'll be thinking about you.

Same thing if you text them first.

Sometimes, I do the same thing @terminator363 .
 
I always hound my stuff waiting for someone to reply. It's impulse. I can't help it.

I give them 10 minutes or so before I put it away and check it later.
 
Well, myself and the girl I had been going out with for nearly two years broke it off earlier this week.

Figured that enough was enough since she'd been giving signs for a while now that she had lost interest in me and I felt like I was being used.

At least in a surprising turn of events she admitted to both of those things. Oh well, the single life begins again! :)
 
I have a mini-crush on my manager at work. Well, obviously I can't do anything about it....... However, I had a job interview yesterday and if that pans out, not only will I get a better, cooler job, but after my 2 week notice is up at my current job I can ask her out without the fear of getting fired! Fingers crossed!!
 
I've got this weird situation going on where I am unhappy in my relationship, but I know I'd be less happy if I ended it. This happen to anyone else?

Try to explain it the best you can to us or to her. I am sure she would want to hear about it.

This, because:
There's few things more painful than having a partner end a relationship only to find out that a significant amount of time spent in the relationship was completely one-sided. It's almost as bad as getting cheated on, because you know for a fact that your s/o has been lying to your face the entire time.

Well funny that you bring up the cheating thing. This is what I'm unhappy about. She cheated on me, only a kiss so nothing major I suppose, but I told her I would get over it. But I haven't. And before when it has come up all she did was get mad that I hadn't let it go when I said I would. So that's mainly what I'm unhappy about. So I really can't tell her without breaking up with her.
