To make a long story short

Before we do another three-card layout, here is a short story, just to understand more the answers. 

She is in her 40s – thin, blond, sophisticated and smart. She met her "boyfriend" online they lived in a separate country and emailed regularly. Emails turned into phone conversations, phone conversations turned into flirtation.

A few months later, they got together for a romantic weekend in her country. 

But, surprise, after a few months, he’s been a little bit emotionally distant, and the relationship has stalled at this level. He still calls and texts every day – little things like “how was your day?” "What are you doing? "or “I’m really tired” – but the spark is long gone. He mostly talks to her on the phone and complains about his life and work. 

Most importantly, he hasn’t made any overtures or effort to take this relationship to a higher level, and she is desperately trying to figure out how to rekindle their "relationship". The advice would be very easy to her, just dump him, but it's easier to say than to do because he is a kind, attentive man, says things without thinking, a kind of Peter Pan type.

But she is ignoring the fact, that this guy does only one thing, texting multiple times a day, and that is just mostly boring chatter about his life.

So the big question is..."What does he want from her"?

While the tarot is more the card of the soul, gypsy cards are chatty, we can easily examine the state of mind. 

Best answers we can get from the cards if we ask three questions.

1: Do I enjoy this? Am I happy?

2: Is he making an effort to commit to her? (perhaps in our subconscious mind, we are missing something)

3: And last but not least, what does he want from her?

The indicator cards are The Lover and The Love cards because we want to examine his emotions. 

Question 1: Falsity. So the answer is a big NO. We can see there is no clarity in this relationship, both sides expect something from the other, however they don't have the same goals. 

Question 2: Merriment. This card never represents the real intention for commitment, but an easy, shallow relationship. He’s making no effort to see her, commit to her, or grow her relationship.
Question 3: Visit. In a relationship denotes uncertainty, contingency, temporary relationship.
She is his emotional booty call, he keeps in touch with her regularly to have a female presence in his life, but what is SHE getting out of this relationship? Nothing. 

So we can see, that even with few cards we can get a very accurate reading for very important questions as well.
