I've been casually dating this girl for 2 months or so. It started off pretty casual just hooking up but she quickly became a lot more affectionate, started saying how much she liked me etc and suggesting proper dates. I went along with is because she is good company and cute and sweet and so on.
I knew she was going away for the summer because she is a primary school teacher so gets the whole summer off and goes back home to see friends and family. But as it started off casual and she said weird stuff like she has a commitment phobia and so on I didn't think we would last until now or it would fizzle out over the summer once we stopped having regular sex.
But things are getting a little weird.
She is trying to make me jealous. Shortly after arriving in her country she asked me how my online dating is going I ignored the question and then and said she is very popular in her own country. Then a week later after she travelled from her hometown to the capital said she was very popular in Athens and had 900+ likes in a few hours. Also she mentioned a guy she met in Luxembourg shortly after we started dating texted her to say he was in London and wanted to see her (which she obviously couldn't as she was in Greece). I find this a bit disrespectful. She knows we aren't exclusive so I think it is inappropriate to ask me how my dating is going or rub it in my face that she is getting a lot of likes.
Also a week ago she was saying how much she was missing me and she wouldn't be happy until she can hug me and kiss me again and said we should go to Turkey together. Then a few days ago she was saying how her resort had amazing gelato and I said the best gelato was in Italy and she said we should go and find it! I do not know whether to take this seriously. Is she dropping hints hoping I will suggest something or is she just mostly talk?
She's now on a beach holiday with a friend and she has dropped a lot of the sweet talk and is texting me a lot less and just texts me the occasional holiday photo and sometimes texts me late at night but then falls asleep mid conversation and doesn't apologize or try to pick it up the next day and late the next afternoon or evening will just text me some other random holiday photo eg photo of her in a bikini, some shop selling random souvenirs, a swimming pool she said she'd like to enjoy some wine with me there I guess in a way it is her way of keeping in touch and making me feel a bit like I am there with her but it also gives me the sense she just texts me when she is bored or wants a bit of attention.
What is the best way to manage this? I get she will probably hook up with some other guys or at the very least meet some guys exchange numbers and enjoy being chased by them and I am dating other girls too. But want to be able to pick things up where we left off when she is back in London without things fizzling out or blowing up over the summer and texting as a mode of communication can be a bit of a minefield
