The art of conversation
I happen to be not so good at this, but I'll share what I can
Ok, so a woman replies to your message and continues to talk to you.
I know some of you are getting very excited, after all, it's been a very very long time and a lot of spamming and talking to dead walls, but relax. Reply slowly. As usual do not spam or rush. If a convo reply comes up, wait about a minute or two and think about what to say before you reply.
Talk about superficial stuff first, maybe if it was music that she liked, talk about your own preferences or compare the music with other types. If it was about a movie, just talk about scenes you thought were good or why u liked or did not like it. Slowly move it around different things like maybe current affairs, food and occasionally ask personal questions in between once in awhile like what she works as, what she likes to do before moving back
Don't rush this. If she's closed and wants to go off cause she's busy, just say goodbye and give her space. Then when it's morning, say good morning, when it's time to knock off, drop a small message and talk to see if she's interested to chat, just ask her how her day was... etc.
It's important that you don't over message and intrude too much into her life at this point. After all, you are new, and she still doesn't trust you and you are in the process of knowing each other. Rushing this could make you come across as needy and aggressive. When gals see this, they tend to run. The same way we would run if someone we didn't know started running towards us.
After awhile when you all finally chat like friends and there's a major event like a movie or musical coming to town, that's when you pop the question and ask her out. Or maybe she asks you out cause she wants to meet you
And while you're chatting with her, keep talking to other women and looking for them. This might sound like two-timing, but it helps you relax. Cause you know you won't only have one woman, and it isn't over cause she doesn't like you.
