I (28M) first met this girl (25F) ten months ago at a networking event. Though she took my number, we didn't connect until four months later when I reached out for professional advice. We ended up talking for \4 hours, and I sensed a spark of interest from her.
When I was in her city, she readily agreed to meet, and we had a lengthy (6 hours) lunch filled with engaging conversation. We continued to stay in touch and met up several more times (I use to come 500kms), enjoying movies, games, and meals together. She always appeared enthusiastic and would even rearrange her own schedule to see me. She was particularly thrilled when I mentioned my upcoming move to her city.
However, everything changed after I moved two months ago. Despite our attempts, plans consistently fall apart. My eagerness to see her seems to have triggered a shift in her behavior, leading her to cancel every single time. It's frustrating because she even initiates plans herself only to back out at the last minute. Tonight was a prime example – she suggested a movie, we started making arrangements, and then she abruptly changed her mind.
I understand the concept of playing hard to get, but this feels different. Her actions convey a sense of indifference, as if she wouldn't be bothered if I stopped pursuing her. The only reason I haven't given up is the emotional investment I've made in our connection. We now live a mere 20 minutes apart, a stark contrast to the times I used to travel from another state just to see her. It's disheartening to see such a drastic change in her behavior, leaving me confused and hurt.
