Dear blkhwkdwn1:

“she always seemed excited to talk and keep in touch”. Not long ago when she showed up in the store where you work, she saw you and immediately had a big smile on her face: can’t fake immediate, automatic responses. She was excited to see you.

Maybe like she said, she doesn’t like to text, and she doesn’t like to talk on the phone a lot. I know I don’t. I avoid talking on the phone.

I hope she will be receptive to talking with you longer on the phone. Let me know how the call next week goes, or whenever you call her next. Try to not repeat the pattern from before, telling her goodbye, blocking her and such. When you feel very angry and frustrated with her next time, find a different way to respond, a way that will work for you long term.
