They Replied "lol" — Now What?
You said something you thought was engaging and all you got back was "lol". The dreaded conversation-killer.
They sent
“lol”
Don't say this
“haha yeah so anyway what are you doing this weekend? any plans? want to hang out?”
Immediately trying to restart after a dead-end. Asking 3 questions after getting "lol" = desperate.
Say this instead
Power Move
“(leave it on read)”
If "lol" is all they give, silence is your best response. Protect your energy.
Topic Shift
“alright new topic. [something interesting]”
Directly pivots without pretending "lol" was a real response.
Mirror
“lol”
Matching their energy. Ball is now in their court to make actual effort.
Pro tips

- 3.If their last 3 messages were "lol", "haha", and "yeah" — stop texting
- 4.A person who wants to talk to you will give you more than "lol"
