I'm talking to this girl that I'm really trying to escalate things with, but it's been a little difficult. She has her guard up, but isn't dismissing me just yet. I can save this interaction from falling out still.

I opened with a question relating to her bio, and that got her to open up a little with a double text back. I then texted back with some small story I had that related to what we were talking about, but also a somewhat flirty response. She only responds with one word. I try getting her to open up about her passions with another question relating to her bio, so I assumed that she was into x that lead to her passions or whatever. I'm hit with a "Nope".

At this point, she just feels cold towards me. I then texted her "Okay, I guess we're not gonna click. Have a good night". She texts back goodnight, followed by a question like ten minutes later so I'm just surprised she hasn't unmatched.

How am I supposed to bring her guard down enough to talk openly with me? At this point, I'm willing to just do a hail mary play for kicks and see if she'd bite on it. Is this convo a lost cause?
