How to tell a girl is interested/not through text messaging?

[Anonymous]

Is it possible? What are the signs that she is interested in you/not interested when sending her text messaging or Facebook?

I'm very calculating in my text messages...and how I text depends on how the guy texts.

If I like him, I will mimic his texting style. If he doesn't use smilies, I'll avoid using them. If his messages are brief and direct (which is how many guys text), I will be the same way. My replies will be thoughtful, but I will try not to make it longer than it should be.

The last thing I'd want to do is annoy him or let him suspect that I like him (especially if I'm not sure of his feelings).

If it's a guy friend that I don't feel anything for, I'd probably use my own style of texting more because I don't really care what he thinks of me.

There was one guy (I only met once) who started texting me "Good morning" and "How are you?" at random times. It annoyed the hell out of it and I started ignoring after the 3rd text.

On the other hand, if a girl not only replies but keeps a conversation going (as long as you show you're willing to do the same), then I'd say it's a good sign.

she doesn't answer, her answers are very short, no smileys, she never asks questions or tries to continue the conversation

What if she always answers, uses smileys, but I'm always the one asking questions?

probably interested.

She also told me I could talk to her anytime in her last text message and she knows I like her! But I just don't know what to think because she doesn't really seem to care about asking me about me.

My crush (who also told me she likes me - a lot) told me the exact same thing. That whenever I needed to talk to her about some issues I could and she would always be there for me. She's basically throwing herself at you and telling you she "cares for you". By saying this she is in fact subtly telling you she's in to you and/or wants to go out with you.

Keep going how your going now and surely enough you'll be going out. Just make the first move, girls expect us to.

Best of luck.
