So I was in what's now called a "situationship" for a month, where you do a lot of relationshipy things but there's no official exclusivity. Anyway, she moved for the summer, and initially was hoping that I'd visit her.
The problem, part 1: the txting dynamic caught up with me, and I seem to have lost her attraction. Initially, she would always be the one to send the first txt, and despite being hesitant about this sort of thing, eventually sent me sexual pictures of herself. Then, after I didn't reply for 3 days (the longest time yet), she sent a feeler txt. For some inexplicable reason, I began to read subtext into it, and responded a bit excessively. And then, before she even responded to that, I found myself waking up feeling delirious, and at that time found it appropriate to txt her that I missed her too (my brain must have been thinking her feeler txt was as good as her saying she missed me).
part 1 cont. She asks if I meant to send that to her (ouch). I say yea and pivot to another topic. In the course of the ensuing back and forth, my attempts to take the conversation a sexual direction are rebuffed badly. For instance, when she started talking about a sexual topic, I tried to chase frame that, making a remark about where her mind was at the time, and she was like "uh, idk what that's supposed to mean." Quite cold. This just trails off and I stop replying. Two days since, we've communicated, but really about nothing and only very briefly.
part 2. So I've suddenly gotten the feeling that something has changed. In a matter of two days, it seems I substantially put myself on the back foot. This leads to the dilemma of visiting.
By visiting, I could either a) reinvigorate the whole thing by banging her or b) dig my way closer to the friendzone by investing like that. I wouldn't be investing Too much by visiting since I'd be going up with a friend who was going there anyway, and there are fun things to do where she is. But that's the dilemma. My goal is to have it so that when she gets back, we go on like we were, having a good time banging each other. At this point in time, I am not sure what the best move is in service of that goal, given recent events. Do I pull back, even to the length of cancelling the plans to visit, and hope her in-person impression of me and the memories of good sex do my work for me? Or do I try to simply "re-set" the inevitably negative dynamic of a long-distance situation by seeing her in person and hoping that will cancel it all out?
