Well put t this way, I dated a guy and we both put effort in. His effort started to drop so I dropped mine. Now he’s the one always initialling, I just keep it friendly and follow his lead, I’m polite btnfocussed on myself now - his actions tell me what I need to know, if he wants to make an effort and be straightforward about things, he will, if not, he won’t.
Very possible. Don't waste time on a girl that never initiates. If she doesn't, it's very likely there are other guys in the picture, which is why she doesn't care if she talks to you or not, hence why she never initiates, because there's the other guys she can talk to. She might also be using you for an ego boost. She has no interest in you, besides the attention you give her. Texting or calling you first doesn't make her feel wanted.
If you’re always the one texting first and she never initiated and doesn’t really try to keep the conversation going then yeah, I don’t think she’s interested. That doesn’t mean you have to give up; try talking to her in person if you can, but if you can’t do that for whatever reason, I’d move on
Not necessarily. Could be that she is shy or that is her communication style. I'd talk to her about it and said you'd enjoy getting texted by her sometime or something like that which hints that you'd like her to do that.
Nah, I wouldn't think so much of it, most girls generally rely on the guy to message them first. I believe that this is just a natural thing. Who knows, maybe once you two become a lot closer, she'll be the one hitting you up for messages :) GL
hey not exactly all women are lazy... for example I like my coworker and I initiate the texting/whatever he very very rarely initiates it and it drives me nuts! so much that I don't text him as much anymore because I don't want 2 seem clingy/that I have nothing 2 do
Well to start off with when you've never texted before, shy girls will usually not initiate the conversation (like myself). But once you have texted before, usually if a girl likes you she will either start the conversation around half the time and try to keep the conversation going for a long time. If you feel like you're always the one starting the conversation and she doesn't try to find new things to talk about, then she probably doesn't like you.
Sometimes girls are so terrified of becoming a pest they won't text you. I would say if she doesn't brush you off, reacts positively, and doesn't quickly say "Hey I gotta go" every time, then she's into you but afraid or unsure of herself.
Some girls are afraid to make any attempt at initiating for fear of looking desperate or needy or I don't know the millions of reason but they are there.

No I don't really initiate texting or a convo online because I feel like I might be bugging that person too much or they may not want to talk to me and sometimes I just don't want to talk to that person or anyone that day... but that's just me
Hi i have this girl that i met at the gym and i have a crush on. Apparently, she never says Hi to me when she sees me, she just walks away like am invisible. But where i get confused is when she intentionally brings herself close to me and anytime i initiate a conversation, she is always more than willing to engage. Should i also start assuming her of should i keep pursuing her?
honestly, i just feel as if i text first he will ignore it and possibly think that its his opportunity to feel more powerful to ignore since i texted first. i also dont want to get too attached and thats it. i just feel like hell think "oh! she texted first might as well leave it for 20 minutes so that she can worry about me." like no. i dont like that feeling
If this girl is attractive, guranteed there's a number of lads smashing that inbox, social media has made it to easy for them. She likely has a number of options, If she's replying and doing her part in carrying the conversation then she most likely has a degree of interest. From my experiences anyway
I never initiate conversations with guys because I don't wanna make it so easy for them because then I think they'll just lazily try and get at me and be with me because I made it easy and not because they genuinely like me. ...but that's just me. not all women are like this.
She might be playing hard to get I agree. It could be possible she likes to talk on the phone or in person more as well. Try to possibly text her yourself or call her.
I usually wait for the guy to do that honestly. I would probably initiate a conversation online but probably not text. But that's just me. It also depends on the guy.
Itt doesn't necessarily mean she doesn't like you. Some girls do prefer the guy to start the convo. Like how a guys suppose to ask a girl to dance, I believe the guy should start the convo. And maybe she thinks that too. I knw most of the time I never star the convo. Juss focus on body language, and how she acts when your together.
Well, I dn't initiate the convo but it is because the guy that I text always starts the convo...so I assume that if he doesn't text me he doesn't want to...I have initiated once or twice but otherwise I wait for the man to make the move ;) If you start a convo and she doesn't text you bak theh she prbbly doesn't like u..

Judging from the women's answers I have one thing to say.
Christ, women are lazy. Not even making an effort to talk to a guy they're interested in.

:( I don't think she likes me, she never initiates
need more info, it could mean a lot of things, generally something is wrong, she should feel comfortable to say anything to you(If she's your gf)

maybe you are hard to talk to and don't give her enough to go on -.-
