That was just an initial response, if you've been doing online dating for a while you'd know that's pretty typical.
Here's how I suggest you get her to open up more. It's worked really well for me and the guys I taught it to over the years.

Informative stuff thanks!
[–]hunterpua 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You're welcome. By the way, I disagree with the others, your opener was actually pretty decent.

Thanks ^^

That whole thread was really awesome; thanks.

You should post that as its own post. Solid stuff
[–][deleted] 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Well your approach was a little half-assed.
To be honest, I would stay away from "negging" during any sort of first interaction. The reason being is its not really "unique" anymore and women tend to sniff this out. Wonder how many other messages saying "you'd be cute if you were brunette" or something. Negging still works, but needs to be used differently.
Telling a woman what she is "like" generally doesn't work. If you're wrong at all, it ends immediately. Like in this, if she doesn't think she's shy, done. Convo over.
You're better off going for an initial approach that creates positive emotion and prompts her to smile.

Such as?
[–]hi_im_antman 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Compliments?
Hey girl you've got a smile that shines as bright as the moon. Can I cum all over it?
[–]Alpharettaraiders09 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Surprisingly this might work. Bold and upfront, playful, while giving a compliment.
Just like the naked man, this prob has a 50/50 chance.
That's where you have to be creative and come up with something to spark her interest that will get her talking to you over the 100 matches in her inbox.
Remember that online dating especially tinder is tailored in the woman's favor. She's got a million messages in her inbox, where you have maybe a few options.
You gotta stand out in your intro, do something no one else is doing. What might have worked with my matches probably won't work on your match.

sounds try hard and scripted. But besides that, with half assed text, just keep giving value, going forward.
[–]creativeoutlaw44 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You'll know more half assed texts when you see them, this was just an initial opener.
Try to text less, and meet up more. Eventually you will only have to text what's necessary or fun in order to meet up, where the magic happens.
Having full conversations over text can burn you, as people tend to read texts in their own tone of voice and may make interpretations that aren't there.

Your text wasn’t exactly a conversation starter. I don’t send compliments on appearance over text. I would have transitioned out of that
[–]LiamSi00 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
What to do?
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ignore the haters.
Keep trying hard
[–]pokemonpokemonmario[🍰] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Next girl.
[–]DontTakePeopleSrsly 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You asked a question, she didn’t answer. She’s either socially inept, or she’s flooded with male attention to the point that she thinks she doesn’t need to put effort into the conversation.
I would leave the conversation as is until she sends a proper response.
[–]antonthecad 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Plough...if she's still not engaging, move on.
[–]LiamSi00 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Plough?

You saying " throwing tantrums out of no where" must have pissed her
[–]LiamSi00 -3 points-2 points-1 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I don't think that's offensive, not an insult. Especially when I have just complimented her. Plus it was an assumption, I wasn't saying she is that.
If I pissed her off, wouldn't she be more likely to contradict me, stay silent, or say something offensive back, rather than a laugh?
[–]Bhardwaj-littlesub 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
It's a compliment from your side but she might took it in another way. You mention the response seems half ass right.
[–]Bhardwaj-littlesub 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Try talking to her again
I'll give a try! Thanks
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Seems like you're aiming for "conversation enders" with the weird introduction. On a side note, how good are you on talking to women irl?
sn’t exactly a conversation starter. I don’t send compliments on appearance over text. I would have transitione
I think I'm okay, average, or a little above average on a good day.
How is that a conversation ender?
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
You can't joke around like that over text man. It just sounds weird. It's already hard enough to meet someone online.
How would you like it if a match told you that you look like roadkill? You would be thinking "wtf"
[–]LiamSi00 -3 points-2 points-1 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That's far from you throwing tantrums, roadkill is a straight-out insult.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You still don't see how you are wrong? Good luck with finding women online. See you in the next day when you post the same question again.
[–]MonkeyMoves101 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
you look like a girl that's cute, shy, but throws tantrums out of nowhere. Did I get it right?"
Dude...why would you say that lol
[–]Mrcopeland25 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
seems kinda needy. why would you potentially want a girl that throws tantrums. instead of asking her to give you something. frame the conversation so that you ask question that set up your intent for the convo. girls with one or dry responses usually are just bad communicators or you didn’t grab her attention enough.
[–]LiamSi00 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don't. It was just a playful push.
[–]hh7139 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
First of all, that’s a horrible pick up line. A simple “hey how’s your day going” should be enough to get attention on online dating. Extra points for mentioning something in common with them that they mentioned in their bio/photos. Ex: “love your Star Wars shirt, have you seen the mandalorian?”
You haven’t even met this chick and it’s your first convo with her, I don’t think it’s a shit test lol, all she said was hi. Honestly just throw that whole shit test stuff out the window, i still don’t know what the fuck a shit test is and haven’t needed to hook up with a lot of chicks.
I don't think a simple hey how is your day going is enough. I say this out of experience.
[–]Effective-Empath-245 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I like your opener. Shows you have a sense of humour..sometimes you get unlucky with who say these things to. Problem is there’s not enough people with personality nowadays so more often than not you’ll tend to get those kinds of responses.
With the right person, your opener will illicit a positive response and hopefully the two of you will hit it off. Best of luck mate.
Thank you
[–]JackTheRipper_17 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
your opener was amazing. Perfect example of Push-Pull technique. The thing is, there might be 10 mfs texting her the same thing, so she copy pastes the replies.
Be different, tell her this in person and I'm sure you'll get a better reply
Will do, thanks man.
[–]MyName_isLame 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Why would you ignore it? Just keep the conversation going. She laughed and said hi. Were you actually expecting for her to answer your question?
Yeah ' I did respond
[–]RobertChardonnay 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Your opening text to her was shit. Telling a woman she looks like she throws tantrums is infantilizing. She’s probably looking for an adult who will treat her like an adult.
