Why does she send me snaps with just a :( in the middle if the night?

[Anonymous]

A girl I dated that lost interest but we still have contact through snapchat sends me a snap at like 3 in the morning with just a :( like every night she has been out at the club and gets home. I’ve asked why she is sad and the only answer I got was that she felt lonely… so I asked if she wanted me to pick her up or something but she never answered that but instead just sent a normal “wake up snap” the next day.
This have happened several times, so now I automatically wakes up at around 3 every night I know she is out and then I wait for that snap to come, and it almost always comes.

Quite often when she is out we send flirty snaps to eachother… cause she is tipsy and if I don’t have anything better to do why not have some fun sending flirty snaps. But yesterday I wasn’t feeling so great so I didn’t put an effort into snaping with her… just like sent a “looking hot” to a selfie she sent when she was about to go out… then didn’t send her more than just answering with selfies.

Then she came home at 3… sent me a :( and I asked what’s wrong but I didn’t get any response at all until today morning and that was just the normal “wake up” snap that’s a picture taken from her bed pointing at her window…

It seems she wants your attention at night when she's lonely and in bed.. and it's a pattern.

If I were in your shoes and interested in some intimacy with her, the next time she does it, shoot your shot.

Then why doesn’t she answer when I ask if she wants to come over?

Maybe another guy answered her first?

I agree, time to be decisive and shoot it. And she might send that emote to other guys as well, like this user suggests. So you better ask her out I guess, maybe not at 3 am. She is just being very, extremely bad at communication and is expecting you to do the work. If you are available, well, try more. (I would find it repulsive tbh)
If you flirt with her there is no reason to not try, you have all the chances open.

@quaranta you know, something I am just now thinking about is if she's under the influence; if she's drunk, OP needs to absolutely not engage. Getting intimate with someone who is drunk, or even just tipsy, is a terrible idea. Best to avoid if possible.
