I figured I would come to 4chan for the most honest answers, so here we are.
I’m 20F and dating has been a disaster. I’ve been stuck in a situationship for a year with a guy I actually like. He checks all my boxes, and when we do see each other it’s great, but the problem is, we barely ever see each other. He’ll take days to answer a text or call back. I’ve asked him straight up where he sees this going, and he hits me with, “I don’t even know where I’ll be in a month,” or “I’m really busy.” Obviously that’s bullshit, and I’m not stupid — this has been dragging on way too long.

I’ve definitely made it worse by being too available, eager, and up his ass about defining things. I double-text, I always respond, I’m not remotely mysterious or hard to get. I hate being stuck in this terrible grey-area purgatory, but I’m not ready to block him or cut things off because I truthfully still want to try.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Should I stop answering as fast? Should I back off? I genuinely dont male psychology as much as I should and it seems like no one has an answer. I know I have a lot of “keeper” qualities that should make a guy want something serious: I’m modest, feminine, don’t party, I take care of myself, I’m not retarded, and I’m physically active.
WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT?!?!!??

girl, i was you just a few months ago. you have to realize that they are very simple and direct with their actions, not their words. he does not gaf about you or respect you. have you ever had feelings for someone and ghosted them for days? he’s just using you for sex and probably sees you as desperate or pathetic. If you suddenly give him the same treatment, there’s a possibility that his ego may lead him back to you, but it doesn’t sound like anything permanent will come from it if he was comfortable wasting your time for this long.

also, nobody cares if you’re a wife type. this isn’t to demean you because ofc it’s better than being a whore, HOWEVER i suggest that you start going out and meeting people. men swear up and down that they want a “wifey” girl, but they take it for granted this early in life and this guy is confident that you’ll sit at home waiting for crumbs while he goes and does fuck all. don’t go around acting cheap, but if you want to go out and party, you’re more likely to have a guy who puts in effort to keep you than one that looks down on you for being a neet loser. again, this is all from personal and anecdotal experience. i was in an identical situation not long ago and it left me feeling stupid

He's out of your league, simple as that. Go for an average guy if you want commitment. It's funny that female creatures complain about the dating market they created.
Chad has a new dumb bitch#23 lined up already after he's done fucking you. You're not special nor hot enough to make him stay.

this guy is giving all the signals of someone who only reaches out when hes lonely because youre convenient and reliable.
If a guy that doesnt love you “ticks all your boxes” you need to work on your self esteem and understand theres other people out there, sorry

what are the boxes you want a man to tick? certain things can be taught and learned but emotional engagement and love cant.

move on

i’ve seen objectively beautiful women get played by ugly men because they(the women) were clingy and reeked low self esteem, which is what men prey on but simultaneously find disgusting. a lot of men just don’t view women deserving of honesty, so they waste our time if we let them

>>33953619
I think there’s nothing more I should do but hit block and remove the stress entirely, this has driven me up a fucking wall. He hasn’t answered me since Monday, should I even say anything? Or just ghost?

Sorry to say this, but "situationships" are the female equivalent of the "friendzone". To put it lightly, he's just not that into you. Think: no one in the history of ever has gone:
>I'm SO interested in this person that I'm going to take days to get back to them.
That doesn't work. When he says
>I don't even know where I'll be in a month
That's a nice way of saying you're not getting anything more than dick from him. Not so offputting that he'll not keep you on his list of potential fucks in the future, but nowhere near important enough to give any meaningful attention to. And honestly: he's right, because you allow this to continue. He knows that what he's giving is just enough. So why give more?
>I’ve definitely made it worse by being too available, eager, and up his ass about defining things. I double-text, I always respond, I’m not remotely mysterious or hard to get.

These things don't apply to men. You listed all the things that MEN aren't supposed to do to WOMEN. If we actually like you, we don't give a fuck about these things. We (the ones that actually deal with women) can tell if you're a whore, so being easy in and of itself isn't a bad thing. And if we like you, nagging and being up our ass (to a reasonable extent) isn't necessarily a negative. We know that's what women do so unless you're going OD it's probably alright desu.
>Is there anything I can do to fix this?
No. You're in the "fuck zone" for a reason. He just doesn't like you that much. You can't convince someone to like you

>i’ve seen objectively beautiful women get played by ugly men because they(the women) were clingy and reeked low self esteem
No such thing as "objectively beautiful" because someone's always not gonna like it. But we can play that game.
I've seen Objectively Handsome men get played by ugly women just because they didn't like his outfit. Okay, now what?
>were clingy and reeked low self esteem, which is what men prey
Ah yes, women taking advantage of simps isn't a thing at all /s
>a lot of men just don’t view women deserving of honesty, so they waste our time if we let them
A lot of women see men as tricks who don't deserve respect and will be happy to take advantage of their money and time if the man allows it. Get off your high horse, lol. You aren't holier than thou. Women are just as bad, if not worse.
>He hasn’t answered me since Monday, should I even say anything? Or just ghost?
Said another way:
>A guy clearly doesn't like me or give a fuck about me. Should I keep talking to him?
You sound like the friendzoned dude who gets one text per week, hanging on by a thread, hoping that after a year or so the girl will see that true love was under her nose the entire time. Meanwhile, she's had 5 "boyfriends" in the past 5 months.

Give it up. He is not comitted to you now. He won't be in the future. No trusting, open, healthy relationship plays these games. And "situationships" are not a thing. That's just some retard jargin females have made up to soften the blow that they've been played and taken advantage of. Men don't call their shit "situationships" when she pulls the rug out, we just call them what they are-- hoes, players, gold diggers. He's just a male version of one of those.

You are not his first choice. Don't waste your time expecting anything more from someone willing to disrespect your time and energy. Ask yourself if you would treat your partner that way. If the answer is no, then fuck off and don't look back.

If a man cares about you he WILL invest in you. He will give you time and attention, and make you secure with him. Not this shit. You need to choose between men who want YOU, and demonstrate that, not men willing to use you.

You're going to let this guy fuck you up and it's going to basically permanently lock you into being the plaything of assholes. There's 3 types of guys and it matches that speech from Team America...
-Assholes
-Pussies
-Dicks
Those are the 3 types of guys. You came across an Asshole. Most women want Dicks. But if you let an Asshole turn you into some neurotic, mind game playing cunt, a Dick is going to stomp you as bad or worse than an Asshole because Dicks don't put up with shit. And that's if you're lucky. More often than not, you won't even get the time of day from a Dick to give you any hope. Pussies don't even factor into this because women have no interest in Pussies so for all intents and purposes, the only things a woman cares about as far as dating goes are Assholes and Dicks. Your goal as a woman is to find a Dick because he'll almost be like an Asshole and let's face it you all are into that on some level. The difference will be the Dick gets back to your texts, he'll be honest with you to a fault, he won't put up with any of your shit and he'll lead and be decisive which will keep you acting right, and he'll fuck you as well or better than an Asshole until you get on his nerves. It's really not complicated. You don't need to "game" a Dick. A Dick will like you for just being straight with him, having a good head on your shoulders, and being on his level. To answer your question really bluntly:
>WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT?!?!!??
A girl that's not a dumb enough bitch to let an Asshole drag her along for months.

You're welcome. You women would probably be better off with the timid nice guys, but that's just not going to happen. The most practical outcome is you manage to avoid the Assholes and take a shot at the Dicks and even if they don't commit to you, they'll let you know before they fuck you they aren't looking for anything serious, and after they fuck you, they'll at least still be friendly and civil with you. If you find one you click with, you're set, but almost by definition if you're some traumatized headcase or some girl that's like "so this guy was a singer in a band and I slept with him and he never got back to my texts and blah blah blah" a Dick is going to think you're retarded. An Asshole might pretend you're not, but they're just trying to get in your pants which is how you end up in the Asshole loop. See:
>it's going to basically permanently lock you into being the plaything of assholes.

He's so good-looking you're under his spell. You don't have free will, so just stop thinking about it and let him keep leading you on
