Single word texts + more

[r0fl]

I've been doing a lot of texting with girls lately and what is a good way to respond or work off these?

For example:
Me : (corny joke opener)
HB :

Me (insert funny question)
HB : idk

edit:

Logistics on a train

there's 3 girls and me, one I'm interested in.
6 seats, three on each side, attached to each other.

I'm going in first and choose where to sit. I'm not sure where. I'm obviously going to speak a lot more to the other two rather than the one I'm interested in, but I also want use to have some body contact with her so she feels more comfortable with me.

when she responds : D, you go with "haha so, [insert shit here]"

when she responds: idk, you go with "well you should know silly, i'm asking!" or something to that effect.

Fucking don't worry about texting dude. It's like slower IM.

when u write something, throw a directive in. Of course u cant do this alll the time, that be mad weird!

A directive is like a subtle command, leading into further conversation preventing it to stop. Like. So blah blah blah. Tell me ..? Haha that was great, but u know whats better?..

I added another question, any help?

[Alek]

actually, sit across from them so its easier to talk to all of them.

Or else, sit next to the one you're interested in, but talk to the one on the other side. Sit very close to the one you're interested in, maybe even put your hand on her lap if she's comf with that. Gives her mixed feelings.

I find if their not giving me anything to work off ill just say something completely random as shit, ive been using "i like your beard lately" Then she usually texts me back with something i can work with.

As far as the train goes i know mystery says ignore the girl your interested in but im not a fan. It works way better with girls youve just met but in your situation feel free to step up the heat a bit and really concentrate on her.

The position where your sitting with her doesnt really matter theres negatives and positives to both.

If you sitting across from her, you can really lock the eye contact much better.
And if your next to her you can get the kino going either non intentional like your legs touching or direct stuff. But if your sitting next to her i find its harder to make good eye contact.
