Does dry texting mean a lack of interest?

[pajamasam]

I matched a girl on tinder. We had a good chat about movies and stuff we like. Got her snap, asked her on a date, set a time and place all that stuff. But now I'll ask her questions here and there through the day and she always gives dry responses like "yeah true" or "ohh yeah" or "definitely" she's basically treating the whole conversation now like I'm a child that she wants to just go away and it's seriously making me lose interest. Which sucks cuz she's really cute and for a brief period we actually were communicating well. I didn't say anything rude, I haven't brought up sex at all like not even a dirty joke, im trying to be a complete gentleman and I feel im putting in 90% of the effort to her 10% Is she losing interest or trying to play games wirh my head? Or do some girls text dry like this but then really open up in person? Ladies please? Some help would be appreciated

Can't speak for myself, but my guess here is that she scoped out your 'snap' and lost interest. It's what girls do. They survey a lot before they dive in.
I wouldn't guess that she's trying to play games with you. It's more likely she doesn't want to be direct and say she just doesn't want to invest much in this further.
If I were you, I'd just back off and see if she comes around again. If not, you've got your answer.
If she's legitimately busy and is just delayed in getting back to you, she should eventually mention something specific. No words = avoidance.

It is off-putting when someone responds that way. Some people don't know what to say, or they aren't good at having a convo via text message, especially with someone knew who they hardly know.

I tend to take it as a sign of indifference or disinterest. I feel they're only responding out of politeness. That may not necesarily be the case, but that's my perception based on their lack of conversation.

I lose interest talking to someone who texts that way, regardless of their reason or interest in me.

You can't build up a good rapport with someone who texts that way. It's impossible for anything to develop further when there's no depth to the conversation

Sometimes. I have a friend who talks and texts like that to everyone and that's just her personality. My boyfriend also texted like that while we were still getting to know each other because he wasn't used to texting and was unconfident with his word usage. On the other hand, I am guilty of dry texting whenever I'm exhausted or disinterested sometimes. However, I usually just leave the conversation if I'm disinterested.

It just depends on the person, so don't be disheartened. It may just be her texting style or another factor that is unrelated to you (tiredness usually). Good luck!! :)

She could either be busy or she is losing interest. I don't know I always say that if one person is putting in like 90 % of the effort and the other one is putting in 10% it is not going to work.

[pajamasam]

Yeah I thought she might be busy too so I left her alone for a couple hours before I messaged back and she is still doing the dry responses. I asked her if she was excited for our date and she said yes but I kinda wanna cancel I really don't wanna end up chasing somebody who isn't serious about wanting to start a relationship

[Miserablegirl]

I had experienced that before in my life and the guy was soooo dry like he displayed 0 personality and I just dropped him.

[pajamasam]

How do you tell someone who you've made plans with that you've completely lost interest

[Miserablegirl]

I'm sorry about this because I know it can make the person feel like shit but at the same time this generation of guys and girls are kinda bad quality tbh its more like the " hooking up " era.

[pajamasam]

I know and I hate hook ups I want someone around for the long run

[Miserablegirl]

Just be like hey I have some important stuff I need to do that came up so I won't be able to make it I apologize.

[pajamasam]

And then just like ghost? Or should I tell her that her lack of effort to talk has made me lose interest completely?

[Miserablegirl]

I can help you or at least try

She’s probably overwhelmed or tired.

Even when guys initiate a conversation/text with me, while I’m either tired, overwhelmed, or just sad. But I don’t want to scare guys off with my emotional feelings. That I just respond with “nice,” “that’s cool,” or “very nice.” Then some guys ask me “how are you?” And I’ll just say “oh, I’m alright just here.” Or “I’m okay.”

[DizzyDesii]

Im a bad texter. I text like that if im busy, no longer interested, or we lack common interests. You should call her. Im more of a talker and more lively than through text

Maybe movie on. Loose interest in her too. Sometimes too much effort isn't a good thing especially on a failed connection. It might just seem like a waste of time on your side. And for that I'm sorry. U deserve better. ❣️😔
