I tend to go with they may have other things going on.
I tend to view conversations on any medium a two way street.
it’s not just about question answer it’s about how it all flows.
the question sets the topic, then you might have a long conversation about say ‘Favourite dessert’.
now if that is drying up and it’s singular closed answers, it gets awkward.
this now depends who they are and what they mean to you.
Often it’s a case of giving them some space and time, making sure they are still okay.
other times, it’s cut your losses.
It’s always a juggling act

To me it's either: disinterest, selfishness, lack of self awareness, lack of social skills (having a conversation) or some sort of ugly mix of these.
In other words, thanks for comin! Next.
Yes, if I’m talking to a guy, and he isn’t asking questions, but rather he's just parroting back to me my own words, I’ll eventually begin to believe that he just isn’t feeling anything for me, and he’s just not that into me! Either that or he’s just a really shitty conversationalist, and to me you better be more than just unbelievably sexy, you better be able to hold my attention during a conversation as well! So I guess I am more saying that if he’s doing that, then even if he IS into me… I just won’t be into him!
Partly, yes. I have had that experience with texting a guy that I met through a dating app. The conversation is good because I ask questions but he never asks questions in return. I sort of wonder if he's not interested or if he just assumes I'll talk about myself if I want to. Hard to tell.

I don't know. People confuse me. And then I'm not like a lot of people either so my perspective is usually skewed. I don't assume anything. You can't exactly carry the whole entire conversation so I usually let it die out a bit and just let them decide if they want. There is just too many reasons why someone is not giving effort but yes it could be because they are not interested.
Yes. If I’m interested in someone. Even if an answer or question is a dead end, I just move onto something else to keep the convo going. And if someone on the other end can’t even be bothered to TRY. I become disappointed and then become disinterested. Just feels like they aren’t trying and I’m clearly not worth their effort so bye bye.
If at first everything was chat, chat , chat,& then nothing or short chat. Yes they've lost interest, new supply, bored. They could have the decency just to tell you what's going on ✌️
I'm usually the one who isn't asking questions, but that's not because I'm not interested, it's because I usually already know what the answer will be.
the number of questions and frequency of them that a person has will be caused by lifestyle choices, comprehension skills, number of problems, financial status, etc. and who they ask is usually who they think best can answer in a lot if cases, so it's unrealistic to expect anyone to have the same amount of things to bring up as yourself, regardless of who you are.
yes i would take it as a sign of disinterest tbhh🙁🙁 if she isn’t asking questions back or putting any effort in then prolly not interested😣
It's something to be alerted to right off the bat. It's not necessarily a bad sign, but it sure isn't a good one so keep your eyes and ears open. Maybe he's a bit scared, or maybe he's self-centered and doesn't really care. If you pursue a relationship, watch this and if it's a pattern, get out because it won't get any better.
Yeah I have a trick I use when I notice guys won’t ask a question back lol. I ask a question and he answers it but doesn’t go into detail. I just wait. A few minutes pass by and they usually get the message and ask the question back or ask something else. I respond immediately. This lets them know I’m doing this if you’re doing this. I match effort. Over time their communication gets better and I usually stop doing that after 2-3 days. Works everytime ◡̈.
Not asking questions, not responding to what you're saying does feel like there's no interest or they're not putting much effort into really communicating
usually mostly yes and even if its not so its a turn off
If your a guy and it's a girl you're referring to, then I'd say you can't take it personally... They'll ask once you have stolen their interest, but that's on you to do it doesn't just happen... If your a girl wanting a guys questions, some don't know how or what to ask... Shyness could be an issue but then for most women that cuts him out the picture alone doesn't it lol
No, because even if they did ask me questions about myself they could still not be that into me.
I don't care what their reasoning might be. If someone is make an effort to converse with you, the least you could do is make the same effort. And if you are not interested, then grow a pair and tell them.
I usually find that conversations are a two way street. If I am carrying the whole thing the I figure the other person is not really interested.
Yes I do. Or they’re self centred. I stop talking to them after that lol.
Voted A. Or they might not know what to say or ask, you know some people aren't very talkative.
Nope. I would read nothing into it.
Not really. I'm really shy and I can't continue a conversation. And, when I ask it's like a dead end question. So, yeah.
Hmm. I don't think I would define it based on just that one factor.
Yes... . I prefer to be mistaken rather than annoying
