Hey bros,
Ever encountered that moment, when you have got number of that cute girl you'd like to date but when texted she replies with only single word?
I have been in the same situation since 24 hours. This girl is cute but inexperience (and a lot of bore. Obviously, one would not find the person interesting and exciting to talk to if
all you are getting is "Yup","Lol","ok" etc. to your 2-3 lines messages). So what's the best way to tackle the situation?
Obvious solutions I found are:
1)Asking her more W-H questions more than yes-no questions but it turns out that's not the permanent solution of issue. As girls like this will go as far as 1 to 2 lines of answer at most or even sometimes even ignoring it.
2)Discouraging completely. For instance, last night I replied to her constant single word replies with" Exams must be doing number on you or you are blushing way too much. Either way you are being boring". Challenging her in a way. She didn't replied it (yet).
Now even if girl is not that all interested might be the reason but we as MAN always try to turn the situation in our favour. In the situation like this turning it around is exactly what will help us GROW more. If nothing seems to be working we can move on to next girl of course.
Any more tips or techniques for that?

Gauge her investment, if she sends less you send less. You should be responding to her one word responses with 2-3 lines challenging her. Telling her she is boring does nothing. A girl telling me my texting is boring would not elicit a response.

But really, you should only be texting to get her in person so if she agrees to seeing you with a "yup" or "ok" that's great news for you and you don't even have to answer.

Thanks man. As I describe in description I tried something like that already. What's your thought on that? Sending her text like "Either studies are doing number on you or you are blushing way too much. Either way you're being boring..". I didn't specifically mentioned why I called her boring or else I'd positioned myself needy so left the guess part for her.
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

I apologize, I meant to say you shouldn't be trying to challenge her like that via text.

What would you do if a girl told you you were boring over a text? Would that make you more or less likely to want to hang out with her?

You might just have point there. The main reason behind challenging her like that I actually complimented her in my earlier text and wanted to use push-pull & chase framing at the same time. It'd be great if you could go into the details and tell me what you'd do if you were in my position to get a date with this girl.

Don't try to game her over texts, just try to get her out. Gaming is for RL or tinder.

Most of your rapport building at banter should be done before you get her number, so that when you text her it's pretty much plug and play to get her on a date with you. She should already be interested enough to go on the date.

Here is what I do:

Icebreaker: "Hey XXX, it was nice to meet you. - brum" or "Hey XXx, it was nice to meet you. Looking forward to hanging out- brum"

Wait 1-3 days.. normally I give a full 24 hour day of no contact. IE: meet Friday, icebreaker Friday night/Saturday, full day no contact, attempt to set up the date Sunday/Monday.

When I make second contact, I always initiate the conversation by relating back to her something we talked/joked about when we met. It's very important because it shows you were listening and that you cared about what she was talking about(whether you do or not). A couple texts of banter, then ask "when are you free this week?", "when do you have some free time?" etc... choose the location and time and your set.

If she response with 1 word and it's not agree to a date, you lost her somewhere.

:)

Good luck
