<human>: Some background, my ex and I text every now and then. She has a history of not answering my texts after a certain point. Like she is just toying with me. 

Today, she texted me saying that the only real time she misses me is when people disappoint her, even though I disappointed her a lot in our relationship. 

I took this negatively, and thought she was trying to use me as an emotional crutch. So at first I typed out "I am not your crutch. Shut up. I miss you until you say shit like this." And then I decided to be the bigger person and say

"Don't lash out at me for something I didn't do, Derperina. I don't wanna fight." to which she responds: 

"I wasn't lashing out."

So I assume she wanted to say she missed me, but didn't want to fully expose herself, so against my better judgement I said

"I miss you sometimes too when times get tough. We'll hang out sometime."

and of course she doesn't fucking even acknowledge my response, even though she was just texting me back quickly.

I know this is a game girls play. And I fucking hate it. Don't fucking text me and play this fucking game with me. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

How do I best combat this? I want her to feel like I do when I don't get a response. I don't want to play the same game, but I figure ladies would give me some insight as to what to do in those situations that would be in my favor.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Ex texts me starting conversation and then completely ignores me when she gets a response or two. How do I combat this?
