Dry texting refers to the act of replying with short, boring, and meaningless texts. It is when someone sends only one- or two-word messages or replies, or doesnt carry the conversation and just says things like "lmao" and "wyd" until the receiver wants to tear their hair out in frustration or boredom. Dry texting can be frustrating, especially during the dating stage, as it can make the other person feel like the dry texter is not interested. However, there are many reasons why someone might dry text, including social anxiety, difficulty communicating via text, or simply not liking texting.

Here are some examples of dry texts:

• haha
• lmao
• lol
• sure
• yes/ya/yep/yeah/yea
• no/nah/nope
• mmhm
• okay/kay/k
• you?/u?
• thanks/thx

If you want to avoid dry texting, you can try to ask open-ended questions, share interesting stories, or use emojis to convey your emotions. Its also important to give yourself a second and ask yourself how you would feel if you received the text youre about to send. If youre dealing with a dry texter, its best to communicate your feelings and expectations clearly, and see how they respond.
