Smiling at + talking to girl (mid-20s) who's nice but only answers, never asks = worth it or no use?

Question

If I'm in my mid-20s and so's the girl, or early 20s, and I talk to her, and she's nice and all but doesn't ask me anything just answers my own questions, should I leave it be because she's not interested in me or is it something else, like playing hard to get?

The reason I ask is because this happens very often to me. And then I think that the girls aren't interested and leave them be after talking to them for a few minutes if they don't show a lively kind of interest. So I wonder if I should put a little more effort into talking to them and asking them out because even though I "next" them, they are actually interested but shy or whatever.

Answer 1

Some people just aren't really good at conversation. It's called being "reactive" - they need someone to instigate something to get them going. If she's at least putting forth the effort to answer your questions and not giving you single answer responses, than maybe that's just the way she is.

Answer 2

You can see from her body language, you should know whether she's shy or just uninterested. Another way to tell is to ask her friends.

Make yourself funnier and unpredictable. The result might be different. Next time say,"Let's play interrogation again." or "I'll let you be the police this time."

Man, be creative.

Answer 3

Could be either. It's difficult to tell without knowing how you look like. Does the girl have a boyfriend?

Answer 4

I know what you mean. I have found that there are people who are very slow to open up or warm up.

Answer 5

maybe she's tryna to answer all ur questions and see what you two have in common. basically tell her bout ur self u don't need questions. yes in ur case she's playing hard to get.

Answer 6

she could just be shy, or she might be uninterested but trying to be nice.

Answer 7

She's an introvert
