Hi to all and Yunhaier,
I got some quesitons lingering. Right now, this is a period of understanding and knowing more abt each other with Me and the Girl i liked. We believed that it'll be fair to each of us that we are fully committed to each other and build our relationship on a solid foundation.
So, everything remains the same, as I dated her, etc. But lately, I noticed that She had not been replying to my Good Morning/Good Night SMS or my greeting/miss-her SMS, unless I am asking her something... Is this normal ? In the past, she would usually reply anything I SMS her. But not now ... is there a reason ?
I had been busy with my own career and thus I had been not in contact as often as i liked before. Do you all think it's fine to just call her once or twice a week, with SMS almost everyday, and dates once per 2 weeks average ? On 1 hand, I am scared that I am disrupting her lifestyle and disturb her, on the other hand, I just don't wanna us to drift apart ....
Actually, regardless of what, I'll stick to my Faith that I'll always love her and no matter what results, I'll not change my heart. I'll always trust her and hold on to my Faith in her. Just that I wanna ask for some advice.
Hope kind folks offer some advice and I hope everyone in Love, will see their own light @ the end of the tunnel.
Regards.
The reasons that constitute to her non-replying sms is due to the Law of Diminishing Return. In simple, it just meant that the more you do something, the return will be less gradually.


Analogy: When you are thirsty and you drink your first cup of water, you get the most satisfaction. The more you drink, the satisfaction get less.
What I meant is that the daily sms you are giving is becoming a rountine spell on her, therefore she wouldn't reply you at all, because it probably polite on your part and she accepted it.

Busy with your own life is important - you must have life outside your crush. However, on my personal opinon - once per two weeks is far too subtle to have major effect on her.


If I were to break it down for you:
Total hours in 12 days - 336
Once meeting in fornight probably would last only average of 4 - 6 hours? Ok, presuming its 5 hours.
5/336 * 100% = 1.4%
Thats far too little and considering the long break in between, you could hardly do much and if competition steps in, you would probably lose, in terms of this.

My suggestion is if its within your means, try dating her once (minimum) every week. As for calling, if conversation can go well, its ok to call. (you don't call someone to have dead conversation do you?). And you will benefit greatly if communication is comfortable, easy-going and natural.

P.S: : You must advance steadily. You can't move five steps forward and one step back. You must keep a continous flow towards the girl of your dream. If not, she may lose her interest and turn her attention elsewhere. Not asking you to rush (there is only a fine line difference between hasty and good tactical move)

Cheers
