When have you played the long game with a girl and it had worked and how did you do it?
Just started to play the long game with this one girl, basically met her briefly, felt something strong when we looked in eachothers eyes, she was looking at me so sweet and she’s seriously the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.
So I followed her on instagram, but I’m yet to get a follow back so trying to play the long game and be patient and hope she comes around.

“Playing the long game” is just an excuse for being a coward
It almost never has a success story
You’ve already met her in person. So why much about with following on Instagram? Just ask her out. All she can do is say “no” then you move on. Or she says “yes” and you arrange a date.
Cant speak for romance, I dont think thats a real thing tbh. Either its a match or it isnt, the latter is no drama at all, that just happens.
As for economically – I saw signs for gold being undervalued in 2018 and while the price didnt move instantly, these days it makes me look hella smart.
Does keeping someone’s phone which you got by chance and using some months later count?
It’s not like I had a specific plan, just didn’t cut the option.
It’s like playing chess, when you move your bishop out you don’t think “in 20 moves I use it to mate”. You just secure a good position.
I’m not sure if I like that turn of phrasing for relationships because it makes it sound like I am playing games with my romantic partner. Which I don’t want to do. At least not in that sense.
As for my long term relationship success story, her and I were 12 when we first met, in middle school. I sat at the lunch table by myself and played knockout with some of the boys (it’s a basketball game, no fists involved). Her gym coach caught her staring at me and told her “If you don’t talk with him you’ll never know”. So…she worked up the nerve to ask me at the lunch room, “excuse me can I sit here?” I obliged. Got to know her for a while before I asked to visit her at her house.
At her house, we played video games,card games,board games, did puzzles, went outside and played, took walks together, and watched movies.
I got invited to her sister’s wedding. During that time period, I had started developing feelings for her. It was the night of her sister’s wedding when she confessed her love fot me. I did the same. We decided to become BF and GF and had no idea what that meant.
We didn’t seriously start dating until we were 16. We had decided even this far ago that if we were to get married, we needed to graduate college and buy a house together first. I proposed to her 5 years into dating, when we were both 21. It took us a bit longer than usual, but we finally graduated college when we were 24! We bought the house and got married that same year, at 25 years of age.
I’m still with her today, 14 years of marriage.
