It’s like pulling teeth to get her to ask you a question about yourself.

Conversations with her on the dating app have the same tenor ad nauseum.

You ask her a bunch of interesting questions about her life, family, friends, pets, hobbies, etc., and she responds, but never asks you a question in return.

What gives?

It has been a one-sided conversation since day one.

You have thought about giving up on talking to her, but there are so many common interests you share with her and she so happens to be attractive.

One-sided conversations aren’t uncommon on dating apps.

The main reasons why they happen have to do with the person’s personality or level of interest.

How does she answer your questions?

A woman who answers your questions with detail is a good sign.

It takes time and effort to respond to a message.

This shows that her interest level is healthy.

Her personality happens to be shy.

A woman with a shy personality treats conversation with a guy of romantic interest like she would in real life.

She isn’t talkative early on, preferring instead to have the guy ask the questions.

A person’s personality doesn’t change by being on a dating app.

A girl who is shy by nature is prone to exhibit similar behavior on a dating app.

Now, a woman who responds to your questions with one or two short phrases is the one that you need to worry about.

A one-sided conversation where you are asking open-ended quality questions and she is responding with short phrases that are devoid of substance, is when you know she has really low interest level in you.

Though she is responding, the quality of the responses are characteristic of a woman who is going through the motions, keeping you on the hook, in case she miraculous develops greater interest at a future date.

Which woman have you been dealing with?

The woman who responds in detail with well-thought-out answers to your questions without asking you questions in return?

Or the woman who responds with one or two short phrases that only scrapes the surface of the question you asked and never asks a question in return?

The latter is a waste of your time.

She is keeping you around to boost her ego and as a measly backup plan.

The former is something different.

To reiterate, there is a strong probability she is shy and is opting not to ask you questions based on that side to her personality.

It doesn’t mean she won’t ask you questions on future conversations.

Have you only exchanged a handful of messages with her?

If it is still early, exercise patience.

Shy girls warm up to a guy after while. Once there, they are confident and secure enough to ask the guy questions.

You get to this stage quicker if you are consistent in communicating.

Don’t give her a reason to doubt you through dropping off her radar for days, then suddenly popping back up out of nowhere to initiate a new conversation.

No gaps.

Communicate consistently.

Yes, it’s monotonous to be the one constantly asking the questions, but don’t be discouraged.

A guy who consistently communicates and asks good open-ended questions is demonstrating that he is for real.

This is what gets her to let her guard down over time, knowing that you have remained consistent in communicating with her despite her shyness.

Consistency is key with shy girls.
