Guys, do you text a hook up back if they reach out and you have zero interest in seeing her again?

If you hooked up with a girl, and it went well, ending in a way you couldn’t keep your eyes off each other even after sex, and she texts you a week and a half later asking what’s etc or saying hi, anything simple fun and playful to put a feeler out there for you. Would you always text back just to be nice? Would you text back because you want to see the girl again in the future? If you didn’t want to see her again would you even bother texting her back? Do you only text back out of being polite? Why would you text a girl back and engage in conversation if you didn’t want to see her again?

I would absolutely text back and try to convey how interested or not I am. I think that is the bare minimum to do. That is however done quick and easy and should be obvious.

If it was not obvious, a simple question about meeting again will get the answer out there. It isn't as if any guy will be upset with a girl he slept with liking him - even if just because the sex was good. Little to lose by asking.

Fair points, would you even start a conversation asking a question back about things going on in her life if you didn’t want to see her again?

Probably not. I've learned that a clean cut is often better. If I started talking and encouraging it that'd signal interest from me.

Interesting, so if a guy wrote back to me asking about my day/life etc, he’s likely somewhat interested?

[Effably]

Why would he do that if he didn't want further contact? A simple "all well?" might just be courtesy but starting a conversation shows he is willing to socialize. Which of course, if prior interaction is a hookup, would signal interest.
