What to text on Tinder when she says she's bad at keeping a conversation going

A line like bad at keeping conversations going usually means she writes short, answers in bursts, and may go quiet mid-thread without meaning anything by it. It can also be a light way of saying she's shy over text and would rather meet. Read it as a note about pacing, not about interest. If her bio also says she likes asking questions in person, the signal is clearer: she wants to get to a date faster than a long text thread would allow.

That means you should not expect her to carry the conversation. If you send three questions, you will get one answer. If you send one question she can answer in a few words, you have a better chance of a real exchange. Pay attention to how she answers your first message. If she gives a full sentence back without being asked, the pacing is fine. If she gives a single word, she is telling you the chat is going to run on short replies, and you should adjust.

A good reply does three things. It acknowledges the bio without making a point of it, so she doesn't feel teased or corrected. It keeps your message short enough that she doesn't need to write much back. And it gives her one clear thing to answer, something concrete from her own profile or from something you have in common, so she can respond with a single sentence and feel she's done her part.

Avoid replies that ask her to explain herself or defend the bio. Also avoid replies that are so casual she has nothing to grab. The right amount of effort is roughly what she put into writing her own bio. If she wrote one line, you can write two. If you go much longer than that, the imbalance will show up in her reply.

If she's described herself as slow to reply, a message sent late at night will sit unanswered until the next time she checks the app, and then it looks like you were chasing. Send during a normal part of her day, usually mid-afternoon or early evening, and let at least a day pass before you send anything else. A single follow-up after roughly 24 to 48 hours is reasonable if you have a new, specific thing to add. Anything more than that without a reply is a signal to stop.

If she answers briefly and then goes quiet, do not pile on. Wait a couple of days before you try again, and make the next message something she can answer in a word or two. If two follow-ups get no response, let the thread end. She told you her pacing, so the silence is consistent with what she said and does not need a fix.
