First of all, disregard the guy in texas, even if she continually brings him up. All that is is an excuse for her to not go out with you. If you allow her to bring him up it will just reinforce her belief that she should be with him and not you. The whole thing is a DLV, so avoid it at all costs.Treat her like a girl with a boyfriend, and run your game on her accordingly. Just act as if she doesn't have a boyfriend. If you game her right, it won't be an issue.

Here's what you can do. She'll invariably say something like "I just miss Jason SOOO much and blah-fucking-blah..." Then you interupt her and with a much higher energy level say, "You know what would take your mind off that?! Let's go to the--(something or someplace fun)! If she wants to yammer on about the guy in Texas, I'm sure she's got some fat girlfriend she can blather to over the phone for four hours straight. But that's not for you to listen to.

The distant/lost lover bullshit is just a frame girls run on guys they are either not interested in, or don't know if they are interested in yet. It's just a whiney, brooding, value-lowering thing for you to have to put up with. The AFC in you will be tempted to console her and talk about her feelings, but don't do it...
