How to deal with being ignored over text

Look at who did the work in the last few messages. If you asked a question and she gave a short line with nothing back, the conversation was already thinning before the silence started. That is different from a thread where she was sending full replies, asking you things, and then went quiet mid-conversation. The second case is more likely to mean something happened in her day. The first usually means she was never very invested in the thread.

Also check the timing. A gap of a few hours on a weekday evening means very little. A gap of two or three days after a fairly warm exchange means she has either lost interest or is holding off for a reason. Those call for different moves. In the first, a light message with no pressure is enough. In the second, be honest with yourself that she is probably not going to pick it up, and plan accordingly.

A useful follow-up is short and tied to something real, either from the conversation or from your day. It asks for nothing heavy. A question she can answer in a sentence works better than an open invitation to talk. Bring up something she mentioned earlier so it is obvious you were listening and are not just checking in. She should be able to reply whether she is interested or not, so don't make the message about the silence.

Leave out any reference to the gap, any hint of disappointment, and any second question stacked on the first. One message, one thread, one thing to answer. If it is hard to tell whether the message is a nudge or a fresh opener, it is probably too vague. If it reads as a reply to her silence, it is probably too heavy.

Send one follow-up, then wait at least two days before deciding anything. If she answers, match her energy and move things forward at her pace. If she does not, you have your answer, and a third message will only make it awkward. Don't send a closing message saying you're fine, and don't add a passive-aggressive last line. Just stop.

If you did get a reply but the conversation died again fast, treat that as the same signal in a different form. You can still see her in person, but the texting thread is not going to carry the connection by itself. If you want to try again, make a specific plan to meet, and drop the texting-only approach if it keeps stalling.
