What to text back when he asks what your type is

This question almost never comes from nowhere. He's asking because he either thinks he might be your type or he's trying to figure out if there's potential. He's not asking for a personality theory. He wants to know if you see him in that category.

When you answer, he's listening for two signals. One is whether your type sounds like him at all. The other is whether you sound like someone who actually knows what she wants. Vague answers make him think you're either not interested or you don't know yourself well enough to have preferences. Either way, it stalls the conversation.

A solid reply names one actual preference and then asks him something that lets him respond. The preference should be something that matters to you, not something you think sounds good. It can be about personality, lifestyle, how he carries himself, what he values. Then ask what his type is, or ask something about him that relates to what you just said.

This move does two jobs. It shows you've thought about what you want, which is attractive. It also keeps the back-and-forth going instead of him waiting for you to perform a dating monologue. The question back also gives him a chance to hint that you fit his type.

This question usually shows up early in a conversation, so answer it in the same exchange. Waiting hours to reply makes it feel like you're overthinking it, which shifts the vibe. Just answer and move on to the next thing he says.

If he doesn't respond after you answer, don't chase it or re-explain yourself. He either got distracted or he didn't like the answer. Either way, sending a follow-up only makes it worse. If the conversation dies here, move on. A real connection doesn't hang on this one exchange.
