I can sympathize with the learning curve that goes into communicating with someone long-distance and the other person is hot-and-cold and you're left to wonder what's going on. I wish there wouldn't be this intricate set of rules that one has to follow and a certain game that has to be played where if you make one minor wrong move you're out. You sound like an honest, sincere, great man. If someone likes you they're lucky to receive your affection in return. I can't believe that a few text friendly text messages could be such a turn off but apparently they are. There's someone with whom I've been communicating online and he sent five text messages back-to-back last week and I didn't mind. Then however I complimented him on something and he stopped responding. Is he busy? Is he shy? Is he dating someone else? Is he embarrassed? Did I make myself appear too interested? It's not about trying to rekindle a relationship that never was a real relationship but just trying to understand how this whole thing works. I'm sure though you'll figure out whether things can proceed with the current women with whom you've been in touch and you'll be prepared for whoever you meet next!
