Generally, Yes! If she's playing games or not putting in equal effort, it's because she's not that into you. If she's giving you 20% she thinks she can do better. When a girl is really interested she will through herself in front of you and trip over babies to do it. =P
Yes 🙌 ! Well in my case. If I don’t initiate communication, it means I am not interested at all. Unless I told you beforehand I’ve been busy lately and I’m going through somethings. If there’s a will, there’s a way for me. I will not let the guy I like think I’m not interested in any way.
If she's a classmate, go to the same school as you, the same parties etc. She probably would've found a way to initiate contact online, if she was interested - it is so easy nowadays, and girls seem to always find a way, either through a like, a message or a follow.
I tend to initiate a lot of contact if I like a guy and if I just see the guy as a friend or I don't like them I tend not to say much
however girls like it when a guy initiates conversation (I know I like it) so she could be waiting for you to initiate or she might not know what to say. I also worry the guy won't have credit or won't respond
You'll have to look for other signs to determine whether she is interested. Or be direct and ask her :P good luck!

I would start the convo 2-3 times in the beginning and if she does not start the convo the 3-4 th times then I would leave her and I would go and find another one...SIMPLE...
I know a girl can be shy and she might not start a convo the first couple of times , so I may start it the first couple of times but then I expect her to start a convo else I would feel like a Jerk...
Shes probably trying to play hard to get. It seems like theirs an unwritten rule for girls that guys are supposed to initiate everything. Girls enjoy being chased. When guys initiate things we presume their interested so its easier this way. Then worrying that were annoying a guy by even talking to them.

Not necessarily. She might not want to seem like she's bothering you or desperate, so she'll wait for you to get in touch with her.
If she seems interested when you see her in-person, go by that. Actions speak louder than words and in-person interaction trumps online communication any day.
No true at all. If she is responding to every communication intiates by the guy, she is somewhat interested. A girl usually don't respond if she's not interested at all. Don't take lack of contact initiation as a sign of disinterest.
For her to finally initiates communication, it will take a while when she's comfortable enough with you and know for sure of your intention.
But real life, I like this guy and when he jokes I just laugh, don't say anything. It could be because she's shy. I am shy and I don't initiate conversations with my crush. Later I think that I probably should have but whatever

Its not always that the girl doesn't like you if she doesn't start the conversation. With me, I rarely ever start the conversation with a guy because I'm sometimes afraid I'll come across annoying if I do. Girls like it when a guy will pursue them, and initiate the conversation. So yeah. (:

well I initiate it too much... every time so I'm just not going to talk to her anymore
nope. Immature girls that like to play games do that. And end up single due to lack of effort and complain why can't they meet a nice guy. Ummmm because you haven't shown any interest that is why.
I'm absolutely scared to initiate calls and stuff! At the beginning of a relationship I might call first, but after a while I don't like to seem really clingy or pestery. Cause in past relationships I've been this awful, insecure crazy girlfriend who's just so clingy, and I don't want to be desperate so I like to wait for him to call.
Honestly I’m not much of a texter. Even when I text friends it’s to just do shit and that’s it. I prefer having conversations in person or over the phone.
That being said if a girl consistently doesn’t initiate or contribute, I move on. It shouldn’t be 100% my responsibility to carry the conversation.
If a guy is really really hot, she won't STOP trying to get his attention.
If the guy is eh, then she won't put much into it, if anything.
You know, it's a continuum. From the ugly as hell guy who gets charged with crimes for talking to women All the way up to the extremely good looking guys who don't have to do anything at all to slay.

Not at all. There’s no general rule that fits all. I myself really like this guy for example, but do I trust him? Not enough yet, no. Hence why I’ll respond to him to see what he’s all about, but I won’t make myself too vulnerable just yet. Guys lie all the time! Sometimes you just have to take things slow and test the waters.

I could be wrong since I don’t know enough details, but my thoughts are that if she feels you’re genuinely into her, she’ll initiate too. If she’s not interested enough because she doesn’t know your true motives just yet, then no she likely won’t.
She wants you to be "the man" and initiate the talking. Try calling her, it'll surprise the crap out of her. Texting is the easy way out. When ever I get a phone call, I find the guy much more attractive. I think that's the way it should be.
i have no clue why anyone voted you down. prob these wimps who are too scared to call her. its like two scaredy cats who like each other but no one will take the brave role. these guys expect the cute nervous chick to do it for them!
Calling is so personal. I don't call a girl unless she's my girlfriend. If I'm just dating you sorry but you're just going to get texts saying when and where to meet up with me.
Unless she takes the initiative and calls/texts me every once in a while. Then I'll up my phone calls.
Call me old fashion, but men today are complete p******. Never thought actually calling a girl would make guys so scared. People have been calling each other for decades before texting was even thought of. Texting just gave guys the easy way out. Sad, really. No balls.
@lucyloo2 you're right. Calling a girl will surprise the crap out of her. So much so in fact she won't pick up because she's too nervous to talk to a guy she only just started dating or texting. When I've called a girl early in the dating phase it goes to voicemail and they'll message me straight away saying "Did you just call me lol". Girls are too shitscared to talk too soon.
im doing that right now actually.. I like having him think.. but I do start some conversations so he stays around and doesn't think I don't like him.. so my guess is she's either playing hard to get or doesn't like you.. there's one way to find out... don't talk to her for couple days and see if she talks to you ::)
No it doesn’t mean she doesn’t like you. Could be she’s shy and heard that a guy should be chasing a girl. And making sure you’re really interested before she does something. But if she likes you text her a lot and stop for like a few days and see if she texts you. One thing is if she likes you back she wants you to be kind to her
Yes and no.. it just means she’s a girl.. girl feel entitled enough to never have to initiate a conversation. They want to be equal, and what not, but still cling to the ways it was then they were seen as lower (I. e. traditional, where the man doesn’t everything for her). It’s sad, but at the end of the day they have to learn that actually starting something with someone will get them further in life!
Usually when a girl doesn't initiate conversation with a guy it's because she does like him. ahha for a lot of girls it's the two extremes. talking to you all the time, or not at all. she'd rather you work for her than she for you. I'd say she likes you.
Means she could care less if she talks to you or not or probably likes someone else better who she is talking to. That looking desperate is bullsh*t, if she liked you she would initiate at least sometimes. Take it for what it is.

It depends on how well you guys know each other.
If she's a classmate, go to the same school as you, the same parties etc. She probably would've found a way to initiate contact online, if she was interested - it is so easy nowadays, and girls seem to always find a way, either through a like, a message or a follow.
I don't actually know.

I would figure either that or she’s shy.

lol, ty lucy for saying that
lol p******? Why don't you be in our shoes once? all you have to do is look decent, and wait for guys to come to you.
You're a pretty arrogant ***** to have the audacity for guys to do everything for your ass.
