Have you ever written to a girl you wanted to get to know better while she only replied in monosyllables? A few short responses at the right moments are natural, but it can be frustrating to carry on a conversation on your own. Here are some tips to get her to answer you in full sentences.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Responding to Messages in a Provocative Way
Step 1. Appeal to his interests
Were the last things you wrote boring or mundane? If you don't say anything interesting, you don't entice a girl to answer you. Try to spice up your messages with a topic that interests her or something she wants to talk about. This way she will be more motivated to respond and have a longer conversation per message.
Step 2. Compliment her
A good way to get her to respond is to let her know that you are thinking of her. You can write her "I really liked the dress you wore yesterday", or "You beat everyone at bowling last Saturday." Similar messages will lead her to pay attention to the conversation, to feel special, and to let her know that you like her.
Step 3. Let her know that you think of her
Talk to her about something that reminds you of it, for example by writing to her: "I'm in the park and there is a flower the same color as your eyes. Every time I see it I think of you." This way you let her know that you think about her even when you're not talking and will encourage her to write to you.
Make sure you don't say anything inappropriate. Use a tone appropriate to the level of intimacy you have achieved. If you've just met, you shouldn't talk to her as if you've known her for a long time
Step 4. Ask her a question
If you're trying to get longer answers, ask her a question for which a monosyllabic answer isn't enough. You can even choose a provocative theme. Try asking her, "What is your idea of an ideal date and why?" This will make her think about a romantic situation with you and lead her to write more. Plus, you'll get to know her a little better.
Method 2 of 2: Reply with Funny Messages
Step 1. Make fun of her
Since he answers you in monosyllables, try turning the unpleasant situation into something fun. You can say, "Did the dog eat your tongue? I hope you're not allergic:)". This way his short answers become funny and not weird or frustrating. Also you will let her know that you can joke.
- You can also say, "They must have given you an important spy mission today. Say hello to James Bond for me:)".
- Make sure you tease her appropriately. Your purpose is not to offend her or make her feel uncomfortable. Try to test her limit to figure out what kind of jokes are best suited to her personality.
Step 2. Make up a ridiculous story
If you want her to respond to your messages, you need to involve her with something interesting and fun. It starts with: "A very strange thing happened to me." When he replies, he invents a funny episode, such as: "A zombie just walked into my room, but I managed to defeat him. Luckily I'm an expert on how to survive the zombie apocalypse."
- The more ridiculous your story, the more likely she is to answer you.
- Make sure you don't overdo it. You have to make her laugh, not make her uncomfortable.
Step 3. Exaggerate your answers
When he replies to you in monosyllables, point it out in an ironic way. For example, if you ask her how your day was and she says "Ok", you can reply with: "Hey, calm down. There's no reason to show all this enthusiasm:)". Adding an emoticon is important, because it lets her know that you are joking and you are not angry about her response. If he understands the message, he may reply to you with more details in the future.
Step 4. Use self-irony
Since he doesn't answer you, blame yourself for the poor quality of the conversation. Make fun of your dialogue skills with lines like: "Wow, I'm in really bad shape today. I'm not usually that boring:)". The face at the end makes her understand that you are not angry with her and that you are making fun of yourself.
Don't denigrate yourself. Your jokes should be funny, but don't make her feel uncomfortable or make you sound depressed and unhappy
Step 5. Make up the answers for yourself
If she doesn't talk a lot, you can come up with joking answers for her to get her interested in the conversation and let her know how funny you are. When you ask her a question, think about an ironic answer as well. You can write: "What are you doing this weekend? Let me guess, you take your dog on a trip to the moon. How sweet you are:)". This way of talking will involve her, if only to tell you how foolish you are.
Make sure you don't say anything inappropriate. Don't make scenarios that are too extreme
Advice
- Don't write too much while trying to get her to talk more. Filling up his message box won't help you.
- Never reply with a short message. Since you don't like it when others do, avoid this bad habit when texting a girl.
- If she doesn't answer you right away, she may be busy. He may be too busy to answer with more than one word.
- If you try some of these techniques and she still answers you in monosyllables, she may not be interested in you. Step away for a while before trying again. If you get the same results, it's almost certain that she doesn't like you.
- Don't write them for a day.
- You can add emojis, but don't always do it; use them just enough to express your feelings.
- Don't be rude and don't take too long to respond. Don't think too much about what you mean.
- A simple "Ok" doesn't always indicate that the other person is bored and it doesn't just have a negative connotation. It really depends on the way you write.
