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.

What does it mean when a girl replies with short answers? It would likely mean that she is not interested in you especially if she shows signs of not being interested when you are with her in person. It could also be that she is annoyed with you, busy, she doesn’t like texting much or she might be doing it on purpose.
If you want to learn more about body language, a book I would recommend would be The Definitive Book of Body Language (on Amazon). It shows you how to interpret body language and understand people’s true intentions.
While texting was introduced in the digital world after calling, people exchanging conversations in words is a much older practice, dating back centuries, where communication was carried across miles through letters. In many ways, modern texts are like letters; only much quicker to reach the recipient, which speeds things along. However, just like the pros, texting also has its own cons. It isn’t always easy to interpret what a person might mean through a text, particularly when you’ve just met and have yet to learn more about them.
Take meeting a new girl you like, for instance. If you two have started talking through texts, some days might feel like sunshine, while on others, you keep second-guessing everything she says. Add to that the stress of receiving one-worded replies, and you’ll get why the pressure is real.
Don’t fret, though. We’re here to decode text messages and help you pinpoint what might be the reason behind a girl’s one-worded reply to you.
So, a girl you’ve been talking to, and are quite interested in, has been giving you dry, one-worded replies, and you have no clue of what to make of it. We totally feel you and understand how frustrating it can be if it continues for a long time.
To prevent you from driving yourself crazy overthinking about it, we’re here to help you figure out the possible reasons behind her seemingly cold behavior over texts. As you’ve mentioned in your question, one likely reason behind it is that the girl probably isn’t interested in you.
However, before you jump to conclusions and act in haste, we must tell you that her being uninterested is just one of the possibilities, one of the more pessimistic ones at that, if we’re being honest.
Do you wish to explore what else could be pushing her to resort to one-worded replies? Well, let’s get started, then!
Other possibilities behind this behavior
A pessimistic approach in life has never done anyone any good. If you’re prepared to put aside thoughts of this girl’s disinterest in you and open to exploring other possibilities, keep reading:
1. She’s not a text person
The first question you need to ask yourself is this: Has this girl been sending you one-worded replies ever since you two started talking? Or is it a new development?
In the former case, there’s a strong possibility that perhaps she’s not a text person. You know how some people aren’t that keen on text conversations but appear funny and appealing when you meet them in person?
To verify this possibility, all you need to do is shoot them a simple text like these:
I get a vibe that maybe texting is not your thing. Would you agree?
Tell me this: Are you a texting or a call person?
Her response to these will certainly clarify all your doubts. However, if these one-worded replies are a recent development, perhaps one of the next possibilities could be your answer.
2. She is busy
Another reason why a girl who has been talking to you nicely so far is suddenly sending one-worded replies your way could be that she’s actually running short on time these days.
Think about it; why can it not be the most obvious of all reasons?
She became busy and, thus, had lesser time to spare on her hands. To ensure if that’s what’s happening here, you could ask her these questions:
Have you been quite busy with studies/work lately?
I feel like we rarely get time to talk these days. Has something else been occupying your time of late?
Trust us; her answer will clarify it all for you. But if you get a one-worded reply yet again – instead of an explanation – rule out this possibility and proceed ahead with us.
1. She’s doing it on purpose
We know you’re wondering why would someone even do that? But bear with us; girls are not as easy to comprehend as you’d like. Their mind works quite differently than yours, which is why you might not always understand why they behave a certain way.

We’ve all been there: you text a girl that you like and—ugh—you get a one-word message in return. How can you craft a text that’s so good, she has to reply? If someone sends you a one-word response, they might be busy, a little nervous, or not a great texter (and in that case, you’ll just have to be patient!). On the other hand, she might want to see if you can keep things exciting, even without much to go on. Ready to discover the perfect text? Read on for more.
Things You Should Know
- Send a sweet, romantic text that’ll make her feel special (and get her to respond). For example, tell her she just popped into your head.
- Craft a hilarious joke making fun of yourself to play it cool and pique her interest. You might mention how you clumsily tripped over your own shoelaces.
- If she’s sending short replies, she might be pressed for time or shy. Sometimes, all you have to do is be a little patient!

Give her a sweet compliment. Let’s face it, everyone loves being flattered. If your convo has rolled to a halt, get her to reengage by saying something super thoughtful. Mention that you love her personality, her looks, or something that she’s done. And if you can, say it in an offhand way—that way, it’ll seem more sincere, and you’ll be playing it cool, like her one-word reply didn’t phase you.[1]
- «Oh, by the way, I meant to tell you that I loved the dress you were wearing yesterday.»
- «I forgot to mention this earlier, but you crushed it at your basketball game yesterday. You were an all star out there.»
- Or, put a playful, funny spin on your flirtatious compliment: «Man, this is what I love about you. With these one-word replies, you really make me work for it.»

Let her know that you’re thinking about her. Craft a super sweet response, and you’ll make her swoon (and refocus on your text conversation). Mention something that reminds you of her or let her know she’s on your mind. There are a couple great ways to do this—you can wait a few hours and then tell her she’s on your mind, like you’re opening a brand new chat and ditching her one-word response. Or, you can go for a casual vibe and pretend like you hardly noticed her short reply.[2]
- If you want to wait a few hours, try a message like this: «I just saw a fudge cake at the store & it made me think of you—I know you love your chocolate»
- Or, if you want to play it cool, try a message like this: «So random, but you just popped into my head! Wolf Alice came on the radio, so naturally I thought of you…»
- Let her know that you think of her often in a casual way: «I was thinking about how you keep losing your house keys…have you tried Tile? Might help.»

Ask her a thoughtful, open-ended question. Sometimes, when you look back at your old messages, you might realize that the message you sent was pretty bare bones. She might’ve actually thought you were the one sending a brief message, and she just followed suit. If you want to kick the convo up again, try asking her questions that require a full response. Focus on trying to really get to know her.[3]
- Ask her about something you know she loves: «So you’re obviously an MVP tennis player, but I’ve never asked how you got into it. What’s the story?»
- Ask her a deep question: «I just remembered you mentioning that you want to be a novelist—that’s amazing. What draws you to writing?»
- Ask her a flirty, romantic question: «So anyway…it’s clear that I like you (I mean, what’s not to like?). But what do you usually look for romantically?»

Share a beautiful song or book and tell her you think she’d like it. Not only will you get to show off your great taste, but by telling your crush that something «reminds» you of her or that it «seems like something she’d like,» you’re subtly telling her that you know her well. Pick out a pretty song, book passage, or another kind of art form, then send it her way.
- «This song’s lyrics are so gorgeous, I thought you’d appreciate them.»
- «Wow, I just read this line in my book, isn’t it amazing? I feel like you have an eye for this stuff, so I’d love to hear your thoughts.»
-

Send along a photo of something in your day. Pictures are a great way to help her get to know you, help her feel engaged in the convo, and easily navigate away from a one-word response. Snap a quick shot of the niece you’re babysitting, cookies you made for friends, a nice view out your work window, or anything that shows off your sweet, intimate life. Then, just include a few words for context.
- «On babysitting duty this afternoon. But we all know Lily’s really the boss.»
- «Best batch I’ve made to date. Want one?»
- «Hard to complain with a view like this.»
-

Ask her to hang out. Sometimes, your crush might just be frustrated with the slow pace. If the two of you have been texting and texting (but you haven’t hung out in person), why not ask her when she’s free? If she’s been waiting for you to make a move, she’ll be thrilled. And if she’s not that interested, this is a great way to find out quickly. Just make sure that no matter her answer, you accept it gracefully!
- «Hey, here’s a thought. Why don’t we see a movie this week?»
- «If I haven’t made it embarrassingly obvious yet, I like you. Any chance you’d want to grab dinner on Friday?»
- «Yeah, texting can be boring. Want to catch up in person instead?»

Tease her in a hilarious, flirtatious way. Showing off your silly side can make you way more attractive to her; plus, it helps diffuse any awkwardness in the conversation. She’ll probably love to see that you roll with the punches and that you aren’t pressed by her one-word response. Make her laugh, and she’ll probably decide to keep texting you back![4]
- «Wow, my message was so interesting and profound…I’ve actually left her speechless. Amazing.»
- «If I had a little more pride I might not reply to a one-word response, but lucky for you, I’ve got super low self-esteem!»
- “The votes are in! You’ve won the Most Boring Text Response Ever award. Congrats!”

Pique her interest with a cliff-hanger text message. Send a short, mysterious message that’ll leave her on the edge of her seat. Then, when she responds, make something silly up. She’ll love your sense of humor, and you’ll have her totally engaged in your convo in seconds.[5]
- Start with: “You’ll never guess what just happened…” Then say: “I just got a paper cut. I guess God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.”
- Or, say: “The craziest thing just happened at my house!” Then follow up with: “My sister actually apologized to me for once. This is groundbreaking news.”
- Send her: “Omg, Sarah, guess what just happened!!” Then, follow up with a silly response: “A zombie just ran into my room, but I took care of it. I’m tough like that.”
-

Make fun of yourself to make your crush giggle. When you lightly make fun of yourself, you actually come off as more confident than when you’re speaking highly of yourself. Jokingly blame her one-word reply on your texting skills and make fun of yourself for getting “rejected.” Just make sure to keep it light so that you don’t go from seeming casual and funny, to genuinely hurt.[6]
- “Wow, a one-word reply?? Man, I must be off my game today.”
- “Oof, a one-word response…that cuts deep. Obviously I’m going to need to strategize, make a game plan, and get back to you if I’m gonna get your attention.”

Challenge her to a silly game. When the conversation has come to a crashing halt, why not start up a random game to get her engaged while making her laugh? An out-of-the-blue invitation will totally take her by surprise, which will show off your silly side. Plus, playing a game can be a great way to deepen your connection, so when you start, make sure to throw in some playful trash talk, too.
- Download the GamePigeon app and send over a random invitation to 8 ball, checkers, 20 questions, you name it.
- If the game is getting close, send over a hilarious, jokingly competitive text: «Better watch out. I’m definitely about to have a comeback here.»
-

Send her a meme or funny link. So, she hit you with the one-word reply. No worries! If you wait a beat, then send over something completely hilarious without more text, you’ll make her laugh in a super casual way. Plus, you won’t have to navigate a text response to her short reply; your funny content does that for you!
- For example, send over that hilarious TikTok you saw this morning. Bonus points if your video is super tailored to her (maybe it’s about a movie she likes, for example!).
- Or, send over a funny news article or meme that made you laugh. Pro tip: when you come across a hilarious link, save it to your notes for times like this.

Question
I like this girl but she doesn’t like me back and bullies me. Should I try these tips on her?
No. If she bullies you, then she does not respect who you are. You should not waste your time on someone who has no regard for you.
-
Question
What topics should I start a conversation with?
If it’s a new text relationship, start with things you have in common, such as family pets, friends or school life. If it’s not brand new, dig deeper. Ask about past experiences she’s had at places, or if she’s been to a place — and if she has, ask her about it. Bring up more personal things the longer the relationship goes on.
-
Question
How do I have a text conversation with a girl without getting confused?

About This Article
Article SummaryX
To reply to one word texts from girls, ask her a question that can’t be answered in a few words, like “What is your idea of a perfect date, and why?” You can also try to liven up the conversation by asking her about something you know she’s interested in, like her favorite TV show or hobby. Alternatively, try laying the blame for her short responses on yourself to show her your funny and playful side. For example, text “Wow, I must really be off my game today. I’m not usually so boring.” Then, at the end of the text, add a smiley face to let her know you’re not mad at her but are simply poking fun at yourself. To learn how to make up ridiculous stories to get a girl to text you back, keep reading!

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:

#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:
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.

Enjoy.
