How Do I Tell If She's Interested in Me Online?

Strong Interest Signals

She replies fast (under 2 hours consistently). She asks you questions, not just answers yours. She sends voice notes — most people don't bother for low-priority chats. She brings up earlier conversations ('You mentioned you trek — Sahyadri this weekend?'). She uses your name. She suggests a video call or meeting.

Mild Interest (Mixed Signals)

Replies in 4-6 hours but writes long messages. Asks you questions sometimes. Texts at predictable times (lunch break, evening). Reactions to your photos / messages. Slow but steady — could become more or fade out.

Lack of Interest

Single-word replies ('haha', 'nice', 'k'). Always 24+ hour gap. Never suggests meeting or even calling. You're driving 80% of the conversation. She doesn't ask follow-up questions to anything you say.

The Test: Suggest a Specific Plan

After 4-5 days of conversation, suggest a specific plan: 'There's a new cafe on Hill Road, want to try it Sunday afternoon?' If she says yes or counter-suggests a time/place, she's interested. If she says 'maybe' or 'let me see', she's lukewarm. If she ghosts, she wasn't into it.
