Hey guys,

So I have noticed this several times and want to get your guy's imput on it.

Like for instance lets take messaging (i.e. texts , chats ,social networks etc). Question for the ladies...

What if the guy that you have a crush on messages you saying you know the usual "hey wats up and what are you doing?" How would you reply?

1. Would your reply be a one liner
2. Or would it be put with a little more thought (i.e. 2-3 sentences).

Its confusing but my point here is that would most girls (if they are interested in the guy) do in this situation. Write 'one line phrases' (i.e. not much u?') or would she write a little more.

Because I feel like sometimes a girl might write one liner even though she might be interested to put the 'hard-to-get' kind of image.

Hope I did not confuse you guys, but I really wanted to know your guys' inputs.

Hey, if you already have something started, the best way to find out is to keep the conversation going! I don't even think the one-liner vs. 2 sentences has any significance at all. The very nature of social networking and texts are casual so don't expect serious thought in the opening move.

Keep in mind the person may be busy or may have all kinds of conversations going.

Just keep that conversation going.

In most instances where a girl or a guy is interested for friendship or a deeper relationship is that they reply. If not, they aren't.
It is difficult to gauge by the word length of their reply because there are those who were born flirty and those who are cynical...

In my experience they were playing hard to get or, liked you but didnt want a relationship.

Like auto said, if they just give you a one liner like:
--Hey how is your day going
-Good

Then try to continue and see if they respond a little better. Try to picture in your head if you were in her shoes. If she said that, would you just say "good" or would you elaborate?

It also helps if you give them a question or something you know they like to talk about. Its hard to respond to "oh thats cool".

Quick question for the ladies. I was on the phone with this girl, and she said, "I really like cheeseburgers"... Does this mean she likes me? Am I, metaphorically speaking, a cheeseburger? Or, was she telling me she doesn't like me, because it's clearly obvious that I am NOT a cheeseburger, so she really likes someone who is not me. Also, there was a slight inflection in her voice during the second half of the "really", but then it went back down during "cheeseburger".....

YOU

ARE

OVER-ANALYZING!!!


Get a quick convo going, then get her on the phone ASAP (look, you can't talk about feelings and stuff like that over txt), and then set up a time to get together that evening or whenever. Don't read into things like txt messge length. She probably sent it while playing tennis.

and in general, do NOT initiate a conversation if you have nothing to say. Don't message or call someone out of the blue and say "What's up"? It's like saying "entertain me please, I'm bored." Asking them what they're up to is fine, but HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY AFTERWARDS!

^yea I agree with that also.

And what does it mean if the girl also keeps the convo going. I know it means she might be interested also, but would she do that if she is not interested just to be nice?

It's called probability. You can't know for sure. Probability rules the universe. You can't avoid it. The only way you'll ever know is if it leads to something eventually. That's intrinsic to the process of finding a girl. Keep going and see what happens.
