After a year of this, I finally gathered the courage to express my feelings to her. I invited her over to my place, and we met. Her two younger sisters came too, and we spent the whole day outside. When she left that evening, she told me she wanted to see me. I said I'd come over in a couple of days. It just so happened that day was Valentine's Day, so I went to her place. I picked her up afterward, and we ended up having a relationship.Neither my parents nor hers objected, so we decided to proceed.
She said she'd be away for another year before returning. She'd already bought her plane ticket before I confessed.Fine, I had no objection to her going abroad for a year. After she arrived, we chatted happily every day. But over time, she grew tired of repeating the same things daily. Neither of us is good at expressing ourselves, and since we hadn't been together long, we struggled to find common ground. I'm not good with words, nor am I observant of women. So gradually, things cooled off. Now we barely speak at all.Sometimes when we chat, she says things that hurt me. She says she likes to criticize people, pointing out my many flaws. When we talk on the phone, she always lectures me, and I humbly accept it. I tell her I'll gradually change these things, and I've already started trying.
About her: She's independent and strong-willed, entered the workforce early and has been navigating the world for years. She's kind-hearted and empathetic, but her temper flares up unexpectedly. She's straightforward, yet rational—when she realizes she's wrong, she'll apologize.>So I'm asking the experts here: What stage are we in now? How can we move forward? How do I start a conversation with her? I don't want us to just keep drifting in silence like this. It feels like we're growing further apart. Please help me out, experts. I'd really appreciate it. Just to clarify, I have no dating experience. This is my first time interacting with women, and I don't understand them. Thanks, everyone. >Dating Advisor: Women don't love nice guys.Don't fall into the "good guy" trap. Be decisive in life. He has his personality; you should have yours and your own pursuits. Don't revolve solely around women. When you orbit women and make them the center of your world, they might leave you. When you have your own goals and keep striving, women won't be able to shake you off. That's basic logic. To have better conversations, learn some humor techniques.Read more books, initiate calls, crack jokes. If you run out of topics, talk more about yourself and your shared future dreams. Sometimes it's okay to take it easy—being together every day and calling constantly can lead to boredom.
