I’m 20M and she’s 19F we have been together for 5 months. We have a long distance relationship right now while not at college and she is bad at texting. I want to text her all the time but she doesn’t respond that often. She is on snap chat but not snapping me. She has told me before she goes on it just to see something and doesn’t snap people before. I am number one on her best friends list but I just wish she would message me more. She says she’s busy but I’m busy too but it takes two seconds to text me or open my snap. She does seem like she really likes me but this messaging this is driving me crazy. I don’t want to be a nuisance and bring it up again because I don’t think it will change either. It’s like I’m not a priority to her
TL;DR My girl and I are having trouble communicating the amount I want

Maybe.. but maybe not. People have different preferences as far as communication is concerned. I’ve been with daily texters and people who don’t want to text that much at all.
How does your girlfriend LIKE to communicate? Phone calls? Video chats? In person the most?
You’ve identified a need “I need more communication from my girlfriend” and the next step is to communicate that need clearly… I wouldn’t make it about texting so much as saying that you need more communication in order to feel connected and prioritized. Ideally you two would work together to come up with a compromise.
Yeah, this is the challenging part about long distance. If you can keep it together until you’re back at school, great. Can you plan on seeing each other in person at some point?
You’re overthinking. If she’s into you, trust her. Not everyone lives on their phone.
