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.
Did you have a good weekend?
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.
Here are two articles to give you some inspiration:
- 100+ Tinder questions that actually work
- 70+ Questions to ask your crush over text
#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.
Check my next article for what I mean:
- 7 Signs you’re a simp over text message
#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:
You know what I find so interesting about you?
Or:
I never thought about it until now, but you know what’s kinda funny about you?
IRRESISTIBLE.
She won’t be able to stop herself from replying.
For more clickbait questions and good follow-up questions, check my clickbait video where I tell you exactly what to do using actual text conversations.

Enjoy.

This topic is about why girls give you one-word responses and what to do when girls give you one-word answers. You know those answers just don’t go anywhere. It doesn’t give you anything to work off of. It’s really aggravating, right? You feel like you’ve spent all this time, and effort, and thought into what you’re saying, and you ask a question, but she not only doesn’t ask you a question, she gives you a one-word response. So, you don’t even know where to take the conversation from there and you get stuck, and at that point, it’s just irritating. You’re wondering, “Why do girls do this?”
The first thing before I get into what you can do when girls gives you one-word responses, I want for you to watch my video about when she’s not asking you questions back. I, in that video, already go over a really warm strategy to hopefully encourage her to ask you a question. That’s obviously a part of this topic. So, it is important for you to watch that video first. Once you do that and learn the strategy, then let’s talk about what to do when girls give you those one-word responses.

Don’t be Quick to Judge
The first thing I want to talk about is the why, right? Why do girls give these one-word responses? Quite honestly, I don’t know. Because I don’t know every single girl out there and what their habits are. But what I want to say is, don’t quickly judge. Don’t quickly say, “she sucks at conversations, she’s not interested me, she doesn’t care”, because the truth of the matter is, I’ve actually seen some people who are just awful texters.
They don’t mean to be but they just don’t know what they’re doing. This happens for men and women. Not just women, I’ve seen men do this too. They just don’t know. They don’t mean ill will. They don’t mean any malice or they’re not literally texting you these one-word answers while behind the scenes, they’re telling you, “I’m not interested in you, I don’t want to talk to you.” Because in reality, they could just …not match with you, right? They could just not respond.

Cherish this eBook: it contains more than a decade of proven wisdom from my vast experience with single men as a couples therapist, matchmaker, coach and previous eHarmony lead.
The first thing I’ll say is no, there is no definitive answer to why these girls are doing it because everyone has different reasons. Know to be careful of very quick judgments — judging her, and letting it go, and thinking that she’s such an awful person. We want to make sure we don’t put so much blame and negativity onto these ladies that we don’t know their stories or any of their journeys. Keep reading to give yourself the chance to understand what her story is.
Ask Open-ended Questions
So, what can you do? The first thing is to make sure you do so you can prevent girls who gives you one-word responses, and that is done by asking open-ended questions. I’ve seen it so many times where my guys will ask closed-ended questions, and it will lead to a one-word answer because that would make sense. When you’re asking someone like, “Where did you get that tattoo I see in your photo?” She says a store name, that’s it.
She just says that and that’s it. Of course, she’s going to answer in one word, because you’re just asking her where. You can’t expect someone to already expand, you can’t expect that. So, it’s important for you to make sure you ask open-ended questions. So, instead of asking, “Where did you get that tattoo done?” Instead, you’re asking, “What made you get that tattoo? What does it mean to you?” That way, she really is forced to expand on that answer. It can’t be a one-word answer. She’ll either answer or not. And if she doesn’t answer, you dodged a bullet.
At that point, she may still give you an answer with three or four words. So, you can tell, it’s still something that’s very short, and you can’t really get anywhere with that. So, what can you do from there? Well, after she consistently does that, after she consistently gives you just statements, one-word answers for three to four times (and this is only after you’ve implemented my strategy), here are the three things you can do.
Let It Go
One, let it go. Honestly, if you saw her profile and her pictures, and you already feel like it’s a kind of lukewarm match, just kind of not worth your time at that point, just let it go. So, if you’re not even feeling that initial big interest, there’s no point in continuing this conversation. At that point, you’re just dragging things along and you might not even be happy with what happens after. So, let it go.
Call her Out
The second thing you can do is call her out. Sometimes, ladies don’t even know that they’re doing this and it takes that one guy to tell them, “What’s going on here? I recognize this. I don’t think you can kind of get away with this.” Quite honestly, a lot of quality women love challenges and potential growth (when it is presented kindly) If not with you, she will learn for someone else. So, you’re actually doing not only yourself a favor, potentially, but someone else in the future.
What do I mean by calling her out? Being honest by saying, “I realize that with all of your responses, they’re very short or they’re one word, and you haven’t asked any questions back.” You make that statement. From there, you can either branch out two ways. You can ask her and say, “Is there even anything you want to know about me?” Or, you can say, “Are you interested in getting to know me?” It calls her out, right? You get an answer, either answer would be really great.
Quite honestly, what’s the worst that can happen? She doesn’t answer. But know this, she read it. If anything, she didn’t answer, it’s probably because she’s not so happy you called her out like any of us can be initially when someone does, but trust me when I say she will think about it afterward, think about her behavior, and how she wants to handle it moving forward. Now, she’s aware of that. I’m sure she’s not now changing the behavior with you, but you helped society. Not society, but I guess in that situation.
Meet in Person and Give it a Chance
The third thing you can do, if you don’t want to call her out, that’s fine. But let’s say, her photos are cute. Let’s say she’s pretty attractive. It doesn’t hurt to potentially meet her and see if she’s a good conversationalist in person. Because like I said in the beginning, some people are just awful texters. I’ve seen it actually many times where a person is awful with texting, they give one-word answers, but in person, they’re so different. They’re bright, they’re really excited to meet you, and they’re really good at conversing with you. If you see she’s doing this, but you also recognize, she seems like a pretty girl, it doesn’t hurt to potentially meet her and give her that chance, at that point, just transition. At that point, just transition to get the date.
Because once again, you have nothing to lose at this point. You really don’t. It’s only been four message exchanges, might as well try, because you never know. And how you transition is just by saying, “You know, I realize I’m not that great of a texter. I feel like it’s better to connect in person. Would you be down to just go for coffee?” And that’s it. There you go. See if she will go on that date with you, and I can tell you, there are girls who do that. There are girls who say, “Okay, let’s go for a cup of coffee,” because they’re not a good texter.
You want to understand
I’ve had clients come back surprised that after thinking she’s a horrible conversationalist, she is so great in person… but she admits her texting isn’t so great. At the end of the day, all we can do is try to understand each other, right? But you do need that motivation to understand her. You get frustrated mostly when girls gives you one-word responses because you don’t have a level of understanding. So, if you’re not even excited about her profile and the conversation, let it go. But if you potentially are because she seems great, and her profile is great, why not? Do the third choice.
But last not least, if you’re feeling bold, go with a second option and call her out. Because at the end of the day you either help the person after or for you, you get your answer, just be honest with her. Let’s all help each other grow, right? I’m pretty sure you want that for yourself. If you were doing something that a lady doesn’t like, you would hope she’s honest with you so you can get that feedback, and then change it for the next person in your dating journey.
Hope that helps you, guys. Go out there, go have conversations, and let’s hope she asks you questions and expands more.
You can prevent one-word and short responses if you know the best initial message that will get her intrigued and engage her in a real conversation. Find out here!

Steps
Answering With Flirty Texts
- Appeal to her interests. Have the last few things you’ve written her been boring or commonplace? If you are not saying anything interesting, she won’t want to reply back to you. Try to liven up your texts with a topic she is interested in or something that you know she would like to talk about. This way, she might be more willing to respond and hold a longer discussion with you over text.
- Compliment her. A good way to get her to respond is by letting her know you are thinking about her. Text her things like: «I really liked that outfit you wore yesterday.» or «You kicked butt when we all went bowling last week.» These things make her pay attention to the conversation, feel special, and know you like her.[1]
- Let her know you think about her. Bring up something that reminds you of her. Text her something like: «There is this flower outside that is the same colour as your eyes. It makes me think about you when I see it.» It lets her know that you think about her outside of the current conversation. It will also likely bring her back into the conversation with you.
- Make sure you don’t say anything inappropriate at this stage. Match what you say with how close of a relationship you have. If you just met her, you will not say the same things to her as you would if you’ve known her for a long time.[1]
- Ask a question. If you are trying to get a longer response from her, ask her a question that has more than a one word answer. You can even turn it into something flirty. Ask her something like: «What is your idea of a perfect date, and why?» This puts the idea of romance in her head and requires a longer response. It also has the added benefit of helping you get to know her a little better.[2]
Replying with Funny Texts
- Tease her. Since she is only sending you one word text messages, try turning it into something funny. Say something like: «A cat has your tongue, huh? I hope you’re not allergic :)» It makes her one word response funny instead of weird or uncomfortable. It also shows her your playful side.[3][4]
- You can also say something like: «You must be on some important spy business today. Tell James Bond I said hi :)»
- Make sure you are appropriate with your teasing. You don’t want to offend her or make her feel uncomfortable. Try to feel out her boundaries to know what kind of teasing is best for her.
- Make up ridiculous stories. If you want her to respond to your texts, you need to hook her in with something interesting and funny. Start off with something like: «Something so weird just happened to me.» When she responds, make up something ridiculous like: «A zombie just ran into my room. But I took care of it. Good thing I know about apocalyptic survival.»
- The more ridiculous you make your story, the more likely she will be to respond.
- Make sure you don’t take it too far. You want to make her laugh, not make her uncomfortable.[5]
- Exaggerate your responses. Whenever she answers, exaggerate your responses to her one word replies. For example, you ask her how her day was and she replies «Okay.» You can respond with something like: «Woah, calm down there. You don’t need to be so enthusiastic :)» The added emoticon helps her know that you are saying it in jest and aren’t mad at her reply. It will also hopefully make her want to respond with more detail in the future.[3]
- Make fun of yourself. Since she isn’t responding to you, lay the blame on yourself for the lull in conversations. Make fun of your conversational skills with quips like: «Wow, I must really be off my game today. I’m not usually this boring :)» The added emoticon lets her know that you are not mad at her and are poking fun at yourself.
- Don’t be self deprecating. You want your quips to be funny, not make her uncomfortable or make you look sullen and unhappy.[4]
- Make up answers for her. If she isn’t being super responsive, you can make up playful answers for her to get her interested in the conversation and let her know how funny you are. When you ask her a question, make up a playful answer for her. Tell her something like: «What are you doing this weekend? Let me guess, you’re going to take your dog on a rocket ride to the moon. That’s so sweet of you :)» This playful banter can help bring her back into the conversation, even if it is to tell you how silly you are.[4]
- Make sure whatever you say is appropriate. You don’t want to take your scenarios over the top.
Tips
- Don’t over text in your quest to get her to respond with full answers. Clogging up her message box isn’t going to help you.[6]
- Never be the one to answer with a short text. Since you don’t like it, you should never reply in the same fashion when texting with a girl.[7][6]
- If she doesn’t respond right away, she might be busy. She might have too much to do to reply more than just a simple word.[6]
- If you try some of these techniques and she still sends you one word answers, she might not be interested in you. Back off for a little while and try again. If you keep getting the same results, she more than likely doesn’t like you.
- Take a day off from texting her.
- When texting add some emojis, not in every phrase, just enough to not seem like a creep, but enough to make her know your expressions.
- Don’t be rude and don’t take forever to reply. Try not to overthink what you’re about to say.

You may like
Not sure why your girlfriend is giving you one word answers? One word answers are the worst thing that can happen in a relationship. No one likes it when their partner isn’t responding to them. It’s like you’re trying to have a conversation, but she’s not really saying much to you. You can tell that something is wrong, but you’re not sure exactly what the problem is.
It’s also very hard to have a conversation when she’s just giving you one word answers and isn’t showing you that she’s engaged in the conversation or has anything to say. This can be very annoying an infuriating. However, I’m sure that there’s a reason why she’s not saying much to you.
The most logical reason for this is that she’s probably mad at you or sad about something that you did. Oftentimes, you probably said something that offended her, even if it wasn’t intentional. You can never know how someone is going to react to what you say, even if that person is your girlfriend.
You are not perfect and neither is anyone. You are going to make mistakes and say things that will offend or hurt your girlfriend. If you know exactly what you said or did, you should talk to her and apologize.
Even if you don’t think you did anything wrong, it’s best to just say that you’re sorry. You don’t want to argue with your girlfriend because you’re not going to win. Also, it seems as if a woman is always right. If you want to be happy and have some peace in your life, then just talk to her and let her know that you didn’t mean to hurt or offend her.
Lastly, even if you didn’t do anything wrong and it’s not because of you. You should still try and encourage your girlfriend in any way that you can. You can do something as simple as give her a kiss or hug her and hold her. Perhaps, all she wants is your love and comfort. Either way, you should be there by her side until she stops giving you one word answers and is back to being the way that she usually is.
What does it mean when a girl gives one word answers?
One word comments usually mean the subject is getting boring. You can prepare some sensible subjects to discuss with her. Don’t be hesitant to ask her what she likes. With a good sense of humour, make people laugh and relax.
What do you do when a girl replies with one word answers?
So, here are some conversation starters.
Say less.
Don’t keep pinging till she responds.

Let her talk more.
Mention your pals and good times.
Mention your jobs to prove you’re responsible.
What does it mean when someone only gives you one word answers?
One word answers frequently imply discontent and avoiding dialogue. It often means he doesn’t want to talk and thinks fast answering your question will get you to leave. That guy isn’t always communicative.

What does it indicate when people just text one word replies? Text messages lack emotion. Either the individual is busy but wants to respond to you to avoid hurting feelings. Or he or she is not interested in continuing the conversation.
Are one word responses rude?
One-word answers are deemed disrespectful because they generally reject the person or the question. “Did you have fun today?” A yes or no is not enough.
What is dry Texter?
Dry texting is when someone gives you short, non-engaging text replies. This style of texting can be draining because when your crush isn’t contributing to the conversation, you may feel obligated to keep continuing.
What to do if a girl is being dry?

If a girl has been replying to your messages with one word then you’re probably wondering why.
This post will help you understand why a girl would reply to you with one word and why other girls might do it in the future as well.
So, what does it mean when a girl replies with one word? A girl replying with one word could be a sign that she is not interested in you especially if she only does it to you and she does it repeatedly on more than one occasion. It could also be a sign that she is seeing other guys. However, she might just be busy, annoyed with you or she might not like texting much.
Since there are a number of reasons why a girl might reply to your messages with one word it is important to consider the context of how she does it and the body language that she shows you when she is around you.
By doing so you’ll be able to get a better understanding of why she would reply to you with one word and the way that she feels about you.
Reasons why a girl will reply with one word
Each of the different reasons why a girl will reply to you with one word will likely come with a number of clues in the way that she interacts with you in person and in the way that she texts you.
Below, I will mention a number of reasons why a girl might reply with one word and the clues to look for.
She isn’t interested in you
The reason that she texts you one word could be that she is not interested in you anymore.
If she texted you one-word answers from the start then it could be that she gave you her number because she didn’t want to say no. If she initially replied with more enthusiasm and she has slowly begun to reply with shorter replies then it could be that she was initially interested but she isn’t anymore.
If she isn’t interested then it would be likely that she would not initiate any conversation, that she wouldn’t agree to hang out and that she would take a long time to reply.
It would also be likely that she would show signs of not being interested when you’re with her in person.
These signs could include:
- Smiling at the mouth but not beside the eyes
- Pointing her feet away from you
- Having tight lips when you’re talking
- Looking away from you often
- Avoiding eye contact
- Distancing herself from you
- Crossing her arms when she sees you
- Giving you short replies in person
- Not asking you any questions
She is seeing other guys
The reason that she gives you one-word answers could be that she is more interested in other guys.
If that is the case then it would also be likely that she would not agree to hang out or that she would often give excuses not to at the last minute. It would also be likely that she would show a lack of interest in person.
She might also be more responsive to you at certain times but not at others and she might avoid talking to you when certain guys are around.
She is busy
She might be giving you one-word answers because she doesn’t have the time to have a conversation with you.
If that is the case then she would be more likely to text you longer replies at certain times when she is less busy.
If she is interested in you she would also be likely to continue the conversation when she can and to agree to hang out with you when you suggest to.
She is annoyed with you
The reason that she gives you one-word replies could be that she is annoyed with you.
If she is then it would be likely that you would have had an argument at around the same time that she started to give you one-word replies. It might also be that you did something that she didn’t like or that she thought that you did at around the same time that she started to give you one-word replies.
If she is annoyed with you then it would be less likely that she would want to hang out with you and that she would initiate the conversation with you.
It would also be likely that she would show signs of being annoyed with you when she is with you in person.
These signs could include:
- Squinting when looking at you
- Tensing her jaw when looking at you
- Hiding her lips when looking at you
- Crossing her arms when she sees you
- Pointing her feet away from you
- Standing further away from you
She is doing it on purpose
Sometimes girls will reply with one-word answers or take a long time to reply on purpose so as not to seem overly interested.
If it is the case that she is actually interested in you then it would be likely that she would always reply to you eventually, initiate the conversation at times and that she would agree to hang out with you.
It would also be likely that she would show signs of being attracted to you when she is with you in person.
These signs could include:
- Having more dilated pupils than normal
- Holding prolonged eye contact with you
- Standing closer to you when talking to you than she does with other people
- Pointing her feet at you
- Ventilating her hair when she sees you
- Brushing her hair to the side when she sees you
- Playing with her hair with her palms facing you
- Sitting or standing with a straighter posture when she sees you
- Uncrossing her arms when she sees you
- Adjusting her appearance when she sees you
- Laughing and looking to see if you’re also laughing
- Mirroring your body language
It’s important to note that she might show a single one of these signs for a number of different reasons making it difficult to accurately tell why she would be showing it. But, if she shows multiple body language signs of attraction then it would be much more likely that she actually is.
You have been messaging her too much
It could be the case that you have been messaging her too much.
If you have been sending her lots of messages without her replying inbetween then it would be likely that she would be starting to get annoyed with it.
If that is the case then it would be likely that she would text you much less than you text her and that she would show signs of being annoyed with you in person. In this case, it would probably be worthwhile to reduce how much you message her.
She doesn’t like to message people
It might be the case that it’s normal for her to give one-word answers to everyone when texting.
If that is the case then it would be likely that she would also do it with her other friends and that she would show interest when she is with you in person. It would also be likely that she would agree to meet up with you when you suggest to.
She finds your conversations to be boring
The reason that she gives you one-word replies could be that she finds the conversation to be boring or that she doesn’t enjoy small talk.
If that is why she gives short replies then it would be likely that she would reply to her friends in different ways and that her conversations with her friends would involve different topics. It would also be likely that she would show a lack of interest in person.
Consider how she reacts to seeing you
When trying to understand why she gives you short replies and the way that she feels about you it would be helpful to consider the way that she reacts to you in person.
If she noticeably changes her body language and behavior when she sees you then it would be more likely that she has good or bad feelings about you depending on the way that she changes it.
If she reacts to seeing you by:
- Uncrossing her arms
- Brushing her hair to the side
- Ventilating her hair
- Smiling
- Raising her eyebrows
- Holding eye contact
- Having more dilated pupils
- Pointing her feet at you
Then it would be more likely that she has positive feelings towards you and that she gives one-word replies because she either does it on purpose, she’s busy or that she doesn’t enjoy texting.
Whereas, if she reacts to seeing you by doing things such as:
- Crossing her arms
- Squinting
- Pointing her feet away from you
- Avoiding eye contact
- Tensing her jaw
- Tightening her lips
- Distancing herself from you
Then it would be more likely that she gives you one-word replies because she is either annoyed with you or because she is not interested in you.
Consider how she interacts with other people
Another useful thing would be to consider how her interactions when other people are different to how she is with you.
If she also texts other people one-word replies but she shows more interested body language around you than she does with her friends then it could be that she naturally replies one-word answers but she is still interested in you.
Whereas, if she texts her other friends more and she shows more positive body language around her friends then it would be likely that she is not interested in you.
Consider what she does text you
It would also be useful to consider the types of things that she does text you.
If she often texts you more positive things, she asks you questions often through messaging you and she agrees to hang out with you then it would be more likely that she is interested in you.
Whereas, if she takes a long time to reply, she gives you negative replies a lot and she does not agree to hang out then it would be much more likely that she is not interested in you.
Consider multiple aspects of her body language
It is important not to judge a single body language signal by itself when considering what her body language is showing.
This is because she might show a single body language sign for many different reasons making it difficult to accurately tell why she is showing it.
Whereas, she would be more likely to show multiple body language signs that suggest the same thing for that specific reason.
