To the men who randomly stopped texting a girl after you used to talk to her all day, everyday - why'd you stop?

Oh! A topic I might actually have a meaningful contribution towards!

Let's imagine it's high school and there is this girls named Veronica. I transferred into a brand new school right before junior year (3rd year out of 4 years for the non-Americans). This girl has everything: smarts, personality, and even good looks. Everything about her can crush the hardest and tallest walls anyone has. She can convince the dirtiest and lowest scumbag that he is the best thing the world, and she actually cared about people. She wears her heart on her shelve and to this day... still does.

And of course this saint of a person... this angelic girl... likes me enough to text me. I even had the planets align to the point where I had sexual relations with this person... THREE TIMES. We weren't even dating!

So what went wrong? She was a little chubby. Yeah, my mental hang up on the girl that checked every single box but the waistline made me feel like utter crap. I wanted to tout to the whole world who this person was and how great she was... but I felt everyone would laugh and make fun of me for dating an overweight girl. What a stupid reason, right? So I stopped texting her, not out of shame of dating an overweight girl... but out of shame of how shitty of a human being I was compared to her. She didn't even get mad at me when she found out that I didn't want to date her for that reason. She just wanted me in her life more and more. It's shameful, isn't it?

Guess what... 8 years later, she still texts me from time to time. She keeps telling me how much of a good person I am and that she wants me back in her life. It's times like that that I would get physically ill from how someone so amazing can treat someone as pathetic as me.

TL;DR: I don't text a girl who texts me for 8 years because I feel like lower than dirt compared to her.
