What do one-word text messages mean?

Honestly, it can mean many things.

She could be too busy to tell you more. It could be that your last text was difficult to answer. And it could mean she’s done with your shit.

Yup. More often than not, a one-word text is a negative sign.

But it doesn’t have to be.

So don’t jump to conclusions. It’s not good for your back or your relationship with that girl.

The only time you need to be worried is if you get one word replies a lot.

Then the odds are that you’re doing something wrong.

Find out what you’re doing wrong in the next tips.

#1: Take a breath

One of the most important things to do after you get a one-word text is to relax.

Take a chill pill, dude.

Because if you grab your phone with a heart full of rage, you’ll probably say something you’ll regret.

Something you can’t undo.

So don’t let your emotions get the better of you.

Take a deep breath and put the phone away.

Then do something fun or productive.

Go for a walk, hit the gym, or hang out with a friend.

And remember: her one-word reply may not mean anything.

#2: You’re texting her at the wrong time

Sometimes one word replies make a lot of sense.

You just caught her at the wrong time.

She’s working. Hanging out with friends. Or she’s done talking with you after you blew up her phone with text messages.

So timing is of the essence.

In this next 2-minute video, I tell you exactly what the best time is to text a girl.

#3: The best mindset to deal with one-word texts

One-word texts usually rattle us for two reasons.

• We like the other person so much that their lack of interest hurts
• We have a negative mindset

Story time!

One of the students from my TextGod Mentoring Program was at a girl’s house on a date when he saw something bad.

A trash can with two empty pizza boxes.

“Oh no…” he thought “she probably had a date yesterday and had sex with him!”

Now he felt like a cheap manwhore and the whole vibe of the date was ruined.

Let’s hit rewind.

Did the two empty pizza boxes mean she had a date?

How else could we interpret that?

• She’s had a couple pizzas by herself this week
• She had pizza with a platonic friend
• She’s into modern art and this is her latest art installation (probably not)

In short: there are plenty of innocent reasons why she has a trash can with two empty pizza boxes!

But because my student had a negative mindset, he assumed the worst and was a real Debbie Downer.

So be careful, my friend.

Don’t assume the worst. Instead, assume she likes you and all is good.

#4: How often does she send you one-word texts?

Don’t worry if you get a brief reply every now and then.

That’s normal.

And more importantly, it’s probably not a bad sign.

Does it happen more often?

Now it’s time to put on your thinking cap, because we may have found a pattern.

Check your convo. Do the one-word texts have anything in common?

Were they perhaps sent at the same time of day (work hours) or after you said something with a unique flavor (something she didn’t like)?

Look carefully.

Because if you’re the cause of her short replies, you have the power to stop them.

You just need to find out what you’re doing wrong.

Here are some questions to help you identify the problem:

• Was your text easy to reply to?
• Were you talking about the same subject for too long?
• Was the vibe of your text very different from the texts that came before?
• Did you ask a question out of necessity rather than curiosity?

#5: Ask more open-ended questions

A HUGE reason why people struggle with online dating is this.

They ask bad questions.

Closed questions.

And, of course, this zinger of a question.

What’s the trouble with asking these types of questions?

They lead to one-word answers.

Yes and no.

Sure, she could reply more.

But if you want a rich and fulfilling love life, you need to take responsibility and be proactive.

So start writing texts that lead to long and fun answers.

An easy way is to start asking open-ended questions.

#6: Be clear in your tone of voice

If you don’t take care of your tone of voice, you’re torpedoing your love life.

Even the most innocent texts can turn off Tinder matches or start fights with your significant other.

Why?

Because unless you clarify the vibe of your text, she’ll interpret the text based on her mood and what she knows of you.

If she barely knows you and she’s in a foul mood, you can guarantee an ambiguous text will go down badly.

So don’t just type up a joke and think she’ll laugh.

Read your text out loud to yourself and ask yourself: “Can I interpret the text in any other way?”

If so, delete that mothatrucka and send it to hell.

Or rewrite the text in a way that it only has one clear meaning. Sometimes the answer is as simple as adding an emoji.

So drop the linguistic puzzles and be clear.

#7: Don’t be too hard-to-get

Playing hard-to-get definitely has its place in seduction.

But it usually backfires harder than a sumo wrestler’s backside on enchilada night.

Why?

Because most people do it wrong.

They’re not hard-to-get. They’re cold.

• They wait forever to text back
• They never ask questions
• And they never give compliments

What type of reaction do you think that type of behavior promotes?

MORE cold behavior in the shape of one-word answers.

So don’t be hard-to-get.

Be warm.

Which starts with smiling in your online dating photos. Click this link for 11 Tinder profile photo tips on how to triple your matches.

Anyway, being warm also means being friendly, genuine and curious in your text conversations.

• If someone actually says or does something you like, tell them.
• Don’t constantly hide behind jokes and witty remarks, be your relaxed self.
• Lastly, be interested in their opinions and who they are.

But be careful you don’t simp for her.

That’s a big turn off.

#8: Stop selling yourself

If you’re a guy, you’re in trouble.

You see, when it comes to dating guys are born with a handicap.

A donger.

I’m joking, but only slightly.

Men are genetically wired to procreate and shoot babies into our better halves.

Although we can override that instinct, most dudes don’t even bother.

So the instant they see a pretty lady, they think: “I must have her!”

And all standards fly out the window.

The problem?

They’re already decided they want her and will do and say everything to get her.

Which often turns guys into a pushy car salesman.

Like so.

One simple text turned this guy into doggy listening to its master.

Which communicates to her:

“Man, I really like you. Here’s what I can do for you. Please say it’s enough and like me back.”

Not all girls will be turned off by this behavior.

But to many it’s a buzzkill.

Which they’ll show you by sending you one word texts.

#9: Why you’re getting one-word texts from your girlfriend or boyfriend

This is a serious topic which deserves a quick and serious answer.

First of all, remember that one-word texts aren’t an issue unless you’re getting them regularly.

Are one-word texts common for you?

Here’s what might be going on.

Warning, it’s not pretty:

You like her and the relationship a lot more than she currently likes you and the relationship.

Because you like her so much, you’re likely showering her with texts and affection.

And because she’s in need of some space, she’s being curt over text in the hope that you’ll take the hint.

Does that mean the relationship is over?

No.

Just that you and your partner CURRENTLY have different needs.

So slow down.

If she’s suffering from a you-overdose, you want to give her a little less and give her the opportunity to miss you.

Once your loving strangle-hold loosens, she’ll likely start typing in full sentences again.

#10: Stop typing like your uneducated

If this title didn’t trigger you, then you need to read this tip.

Did the title make you cringe? Great.

Now you know how she’s feeling.

Anyway, the title has a big grammar mistake that will shrivel up a girl’s eggs.

Not all girls will have such a strong reaction. But many of the good ones will.

You know, the girls with diplomas, big ambitions and next level tongue and throat skills. (The last point is made up, but I feel like it makes my point more convincing.)

So while you may scoff at grammar mistakes, others wince at them as if they were hearing the sound of nails on a chalkboard.

And it makes sense.

Proper grammar communicates that you’re smart and probably live the life of a smart dude.

Nice place. Decent job. And a big d- oggo for her to cuddle.

So get your grammar right.

It doesn’t cost much effort and the rewards are big.

What to text after a one-word text

One of the most effective ways to get a woman to open up to you over text is this.

Clickbait.

If you get it right, clickbait is irresistible.

As long as you choose the right topic to get the clicks.

Your safest bet is talking about her.

Why?

Because it’s her most favorite subject in the world.

So to get a good answer, hit her with some questions like this:

Or:

IRRESISTIBLE.

She won’t be able to stop herself from replying.

Texting has become an inevitable part of our everyday lives, in relationships, jobs, you name it.

To be more exact, texting has replaced eye-to-eye conversations, and that is why we should never underestimate its importance.

But, not everything is black and white. Sometimes you will get “seen”; sometimes he will ignore your texts altogether, but you know for a fact that he has seen it.

And, sometimes you will get a famous, one-word text which is by far every woman’s biggest nightmare.

If you’ve ever been in a situation where you’ve received a one-word reply from a guy and you’ve freaked out because of it, I must confirm that you were right.

In the majority of cases, when a guy sends you one-word reply, there is something deeper behind it. Actually, there are 7 possible hidden meanings behind it!

1. He may be stuck in traffic

Let’s start with positive hidden meanings. Sometimes, he will send you a one-word text because he’s in a situation where he shouldn’t really be texting; for example, risking his own life and the lives of other people.

The best examples of it are being stuck in traffic, texting while driving in general, and some other situations where long replies are considered dangerous.

The best way to find out if this is the situation and to prevent yourself from freaking out about it is to ask him later whether this was the case.

If that is the reason why he one-word texted you, then it is totally acceptable, and you have no excuse to be mad at him.

2. He could really hate texting

This one’s debatable. It is both positive and negative in one (it just depends on your perspective of things).

We are all familiar with the fact that guys are not as into texting as women are. They tend to use texting only to exchange necessary information and move on.

And if your guy really hates texting, chances are that he will send you one-word replies often because he’s genuinely not interested in texting.

But, don’t get confused here. Him not being interested in texting is not the same thing as not being interested in you.

He probably likes you a lot, but he simply sees texting only as a basic exchange of information and nothing else.

Now, the main question is should you really blame him for that or just accept the situation as it is? It’s your call.

3. He’s mad at you

Similar to women, when guys are mad at someone, they tend to send one-word texts to let you know that there is something wrong, assuming that you will know what’s on his mind.

He might be mad at you because of something you’ve said, done or because of something that you’re not familiar with yet—something you don’t realize you did.

Also, if he regularly sends long sentence texts and all of a sudden sends only one-word replies, then you know there’s something’s fishy.

Basically, that is the main difference between a guy who simply hates texting and one who is holding a grudge against you.

Whatever it is, the best bet is to simply ask him whether he is mad at you and for what reason.

4. He’s insecure

This one’s typical when you just start dating. Guys who are insecure tend to send one-word texts because they don’t want to scare you by saying something weird, out of place or insult you one way or another.

When a guy is insecure, he starts thinking too much about his every move, and that is why he decides to keep texting at minimum (as a prevention method).

If that is the case with him, just simply ask him random questions to see whether he will start opening himself up to you.

If yes, then you know for sure that he just waited for a little bit of encouragement by you. Sometimes, you have to be the one who will help him get out of his shell and show you his true self.

5. He’s seeing someone else

I know that it’s hard to accept, but sometimes the only reason he sends you one-word texts is because he’s seeing someone else.

Because of that, he likes to keep texting with you at a minimum, so he can easily delete everything when needed. Lame, I know.

He doesn’t want to ruin his chances with the other girl, and at the same time, he doesn’t want to ruin anything with you.

By sending you one-word replies, he’s keeping you close enough to stay and far enough to maintain distance between you. It is a perfect cover for every player and narcissist out there.

6. You’re texting him too much

And sometimes the problem might lie in you.

Since we women like to text a lot—talk about our feelings, our day and what not—this might create pressure on a guy, and as a result, he might start sending you one-word replies.

It is just his way of telling you that you should decrease the amount of texting with him because it’s just too much for him, and he’s not ready to become a full time texting machine.

To keep this from happening, it is always good to find a balance when it comes to texting on a daily basis.

7. He’s not into you

And the last but definitely not the least.

If you’ve been texting with him for a while now and he’s been sending you one-word replies one after another and there are no indications that this will stop, I’m sorry to tell you but chances are that he’s not really into you.

I know that it would be easier to just say it, but sometimes guys don’t have the courage to say what they really mean, and they just want to be polite with you.

He doesn’t want to hurt your feelings by telling you to stop texting him, but neither is he willing to text you in long sentences, and that is why he choose to send one-word replies instead.
