I've tried witty openers, cocky-funny ones, mild negs.. but the response rate from Indian girls is not as good as I expected. Out of curiosity, I've messaged a couple of girls from western countries, and they responded reasonably. But the Indian ones either are not responding, or if they did they act all offended.

This method used to work well for me couple of years ago, but now seems like a dead-end. I just need the girl to reply to my text, since I'm good at manipulating the conversation the way I want. So, any tips on openers?
