"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

It's the distance and the lacking of seeing each other that's going to kill the relationship. You should end this effed up and halfed assed situation now.

It can never work because it defeats the purpose of a relationship which is to spend time together face to face.Alpheta said:
Physical needs can't be met so the relationship is doomed to fail.

It works if both of you are really into each other AND it is just temporary, I mean, you're distant for a specific amount of time: 1 month, 4 months, 1 year...and then any of you move to be with the other.
Also, you have to be sure that either you or her are willing to move...because if not, then it doesnt make any sense.
You have to have a plan like: "well, after X months I will move to be with her", or "in X months she will be back".
I've seen couples being in a LDR for YEARS, just to break up in the end. This is not what I mean. I mean that if you're gonna be in this situation for a year or so max, it can work. But do not be there for years and years.
And yes, I also spent a lot of time on skype talking to my girl, but it did not annoy me. Besides, if I decreased the amount of time we talked on skype, she got upset lol.
It was like at least 1 hour a day, to a max of around 3 hours, but we were distant just for 6-7 months, and visited each other every month or month and a half.
