What are you like with text/sms messages?

[South-east boy]

Have you made any plans to go and visit her? After 7 months of chatting, and if you haven't mentioned going to see her, she may be getting bored and wondering where the relationship's heading. These are only guesses, of course, but she may have other suitors who are planning to visit her soon so maybe she's cooling things off with you if she thinks you're not serious about her.

I have mentioned about going to see her, but can't say when as of course it's a lot of money and I'm a few hundred £'s down a month compared to 2 years ago. I haven't lied and have said from the beginning that I'm not well off and things are not so great over here due to recession etc.

I would have thought what I did for her Birthday and Christmas + for her family would have said what I thought of her. It wasn't just what I spent, but I spent a lot of time thinking what she would like, getting what I knew she would like, also surprises and things for all the family, then 2 whole evenings wrapping it all up. I could have sent it by balikbayan but it would have taken 2 months and arrived a month after Christmas and a month & half after her birthday and as it was the families first Christmas without her Dad, I wanted the parcel to arrive for Christmas, so they had something to look forward to. I also put presents to open later, so she would not have lots on her Birthday and Christmas and then nothing. Also got a t-shirt for her to give for one of her brothers a she had said that she couldn't afford anything and I sent flowers to the family after her Dad passed away at the end of September. She said that she was so happy and no-one had ever sent her & her a family a parcel like that before! She sent this message after her birthday (but before the parcel had arrived which was late because of the customs & VAT people):

"Hi there Tim,

You really touched me with so many things today on my birthday. The package, your call and when I opened my mail today, you sent me two ecards wishing me a happy birthday. You really touched and moved me in a good way with tears of joy. Thank you so much and so sorry it took you a while to call me and it was really getting late your time when you called me, too. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I really don't know how to make you happy, too but I am trying my best to make you smile and happy. Hehehehehe...Goodnight and sweet dreams! Thank you and a happy birthday to me...heheheheheeh...hugs and kisses

xoxoxoxoxoxoxox,
Suzie"

She also sent another similar message to my work email recently and has thanked me for all that I do for her and that it shows how much I care for her.

If she is cooling things off, then it's very sudden as there was so clue before or gradually being quieter etc.
