I woke up this morning and texted her, "Good morning! I love you."

No response until 9am (generally we're both up and about by 7am), and even then, it's 'Sorry lol I stayed the night with [friend] and [her friend].'

Huh. Okay... So I talk to her awhile, and the conversation was a little strained. I kinda gave up and told her I would talk to her later. A few hours later, I texted her and my friend both, and invited them to go to the bar with me. They both refused, which is fine. I didn't expect them to go with, but I had to offer anyway. She kept talking to me a bit, and at the end, I said, "I will, thanks. I love you"

No response. For four hours. At six, she texts me, "I probably won't text the rest of the day. My mind has been racing all day and now I'm depressed. Have fun tonight. I am sorry Jacob."

@Hansy: These things are alien to me.

Should I give you a brief summary of my recent life events?

>Meet girl.
>Girl is dating best friend.
>Girl likes me. I like girl.
>Yeah, humans. It happened. We are a thing sort of. It's complicated.
>Told her I love her the other day. Because holy shit, I actually do. Wat. O.O
>She tells me she loves me too. (o.o) > (O_oO)
>Things been all good, sort of, until today. D: See above exchange.

No, the idea of saying "I love you" being important. :v

Man Descan... :/

Well, it's not. Love isn't something you say, it's something you show. The words... They don't matter.

[Parsely]

Dude, stay cool. Don't freak out because she doesn't always text you back. Don't overdo it. Call instead once in a while.

This. Though apparently people need to be told what's in front of them before they'll see it. And then they forget about it ten minutes later.

There's also the fact that, you know. If you're texting there's only so much showing you can do. For instance, by actually saying it.

In my universe, "I love you" is a vow. It's swearing by saying.

(I put what I understand to be an uncommonly high stock in your word being your bond, though, so things may be different for others)

Also its not (or in the least, less as) a reminder and more of...well, people saying what they sincerely mean.

[GiglameshDespair]

Maybe she's got nervous and backed off a bit?

My face is so blistery and disgusting.

It's a cultural thing, I believe - Americans make much more fuzz about that.
