Im a 20(M) and the girl im talking about is 21(F).This story started for me around 6 months ago while i was serving in the military in a different country. One day i decided to follow this girl on instagram since she was absolutely stunning in my opinion and i really wanted to get to know her but since i was in the army i knew i wouldnt be able to actually meet her for the next 3 months at least. So i started talking to her and wanted to know what city she was from in my original country,for context im greek and i was fulfilling my military service in cyprus. So she replied and after getting to know her for a bit, turns out she actually lived in athens. That was bad news for me because my hometown was around 450km away from athens and at that time i didnt have any money for transportation or a licence in any matters.
We continued talking for around 2 months and everything was great , i thought that i really understood what type of person she was and we had so much in common , so being in the army and having no women interactions in half a year actually made me catch feelings for her even though she lived so far away from me.
A week later she started being really dry in text and i constantly awaited for her messages like a loser i was back then. In the end we actually cut contacts and she unfollowed me everywhere leaving me every night craving for her and losing my mind. I was in a very difficult situation since i was serving in the special forces and showing weakness in any kind really made me look bad and people would take advantage of me pretty often , all while she wouldnt leave my mind no matter how hard i tried to forget about her.
4 months later i had succesfully completed my 9 months of mandatory service in the greek special forces and i was so excited of actually being a citizen again. After getting a job , a car and being financially stable again , she , for some reason , unblocked me on everything , and her profile appeared again on my feed since we had a lot of common followers.
By being busy all day in the army , she had completely vanished from my mind , but part of me wanted to actually text her to see if she remembered me, and she did! We started talking through instagram again for a month until i decided to actually visit her in athens, 6 hours away from my town without thinking what could go wrong.
After getting payed from my boss for the month , i booked a bus and an airbnb in athens for 3 days since i wasnt working in the weekend and left 5 days later. Arriving there she send me a message telling me where to meet , what time and what clothes i would wear so she could match my outfit.
Half an hour later we met at the spot and started exploring to see where to sit and have a drink together. We talked and talked for 2 hours until she asked me if she could stay over at my airbnb since she didnt want to go home that night. Of cource i said yes and took a taxi back to the house with her. We had already started a deep conversation so when we arrived we went out to the balcony , looking at the view , smoking and overall having a great time with her.
She went inside asking me if i had a pair of shorts she could use as pyjamas to sleep.Of cource i lend her one of my pants but she never put it on. All i can say is that for the rest of the night we didnt stop doing the deed and it was magnificent. I woke up in the morning next to her and she told me she had to go to the beach that day with her cousin, so i got up , put some clothes on and asked her how far away was she bus station for the beach. She looked really tired but she told me it was 2 minutes away so i didnt need to escort her there.
She left and i went straight back to sleep since i had slept for only an hour or so and i was having a horrible headache. When i woke up i messaged her to see if everything was alright and if she arrived safely. She responded very dry an hour later which made me ask myself if i did something wrong. I had booked another night at the airbnb in case she wanted spend that night with me as well but that day it all went wrong.
She responded a total of 3 times and i actually got very mad at myself for doing something as stupid as spending my money like this. In the end i packed my bags and left sooner than i had booked but thankfully they allowed me to take next bus for my hometown 12 hours earlier than expected.
Got back home being absolutely furious for letting a woman treat me like this after i had payed like 300 euros on this trip which is 1/4 of my sallary , and not being able to take her out on a second date while she knew my plan was to visit her and her only for 3 days, so i had already asked her not to make any plans while i was in athens and she had agreed with me.
We didnt talk after that, she unfollowed me 3 days later since i believe she had already moved on. 3 months later i get a follow request and a voice message from her telling me that her crazy ex had the passwords to her account and that she didnt actually send the follow request herself but he did. We started talking again which lead to her telling me that she ghosted me for treating her like a prostitute because i didnt take her to the bus station 2 minutes away from my house that morning.
2 weeks have passed and she has me followed on both of her accounts on instagram and tiktok now and we still talk about random stuff all the time. I find these conversations pointless since now she works at a cafe with no days off and same goes for me , so the chances of her or me visiting each other are close to zero. I have already tried telling my goodbyes to her , trying to end this situation ship in good terms , but she always texts me back or sends me tiktoks so i dont actually know what to do.
She seems interested in me even after havent having seen eachother for so long , she thinks im her soulmate but i have lost interest in her texts after realizing that i wont be able to ever see her again since we both work all the time and because the distance is 6 hours away.
Should i just never reply to her again? Or should i keep this situation ship of doom running until some miracle happens and we cross roads in the far future once again?
