Decoding the texts everyone gets
A dry text — one-word answers, no questions back, no energy — is someone giving you the bare minimum to not technically be ignoring you. It's effort withdrawn, and on a dating app it usually means you're an option, not a priority.
Dry isn't neutral; it's a signal. Match it once to test the water — if they don't pick the energy back up, they've told you where this is going. Don't chase a dry texter into a conversation they're not having.
Read YOUR match's interest → freeThese are the patterns — but the same word means different things from different people. Sided reads your actual conversation and tells you what THIS person means, and what to say back.
