    What to do in a relationship where we hardly see each other?

    Okay well I been dating this girl for 7 months now and at first we used to go out every weekend which was nice. I really like this girl but lately she's been too busy. And she's still living with her parents (I'm 18 she's 17) yes I know that's illegal but she'll be 18 soon. Well thing is her mom doesn't let her out because she's really strict. She talked about inviting me over when her parents aren't home but she told me every time she had an opportunity she would feel guilty and not invite me. She's going to some trip in about a week and she'll be out for a whole month. It doesn't show like she's trying to put any efforts to seeing me. We text everyday all day so either she really does like/care about me or she's a good actor that has been leading me on. Lately this has been frustrating and I don't want to just give her up because we already build up so much trust. But the fact that she isn't putting effort to seeing me kinda makes me want to throw in the towel. Maybe this is what she wants me to do. We haven't seen each other for 2 months.
    What should I do? Throw in the towel?
    Also do you think I'm being stubborn and unreasonable for not being more patient.
    All feedback will be appreciated. Thanks!

    Not seeing each other for two months when you live close by is rough. It sounds like she likes you bit is trying to be respectful to her parents as well. At that age, she hasn't had an opportunity to do things for herself, so you asking her to do certain things might sound easy to you, but to her it is against everything she has been raised to think.

    Unfortunately, I can't give advice as to whether you should give up or wait it out. That is up to you and how much you are willing to endure until she has the opportunity to learn what it means to be her own person. The thing with that is that there is no guarantee that when she discovers who she is she may find out that she would rather be on her own. That is a risk you have to either accept or move along.

    Good luck.

    hmm decisions decisions. The only reason why it's been staying alive for 2 months without seeing each other is because I really stepped it up on the text messaging. But I'm tired of that. I think Devon is right that she needs to find out who she is and if she does she might not even want me then. I think I'm just going to let the dice rolls and let whatever happen but I know most likely how its going to land.

    She sounds like she is dominated by her parents, and she can do nothing about it. Time for you to move on and find someone you can develop a relationship with. Having a relationship means spending more time together than you are now. And she just can't do it, due to parental control issues.

    I'd cut my losses, 2 months without seeing her is pretty crappy.

    i wanted to add with cutting your losses i think you should just let women alone and focus on yourself, chill and do what you want. It will help and if she does end up comming back around it wont faz ya to much prob. ive done this before.
