> you'll message a girl, and ask a question. She'll respond with the answer, and that's it.

this. Most of the interactions I’ve had go something like… “I see you like [some author that we both like], have you read [an older book or something related]?”

“No.”

“…”

I’m left with the impression that we’re in the middle of a massive societal shift whose rules are still being written, and by the time it all gets sorted out we’ll be too old for it to matter.

Hell, in 2010 when I was still single I encountered this through text/IM and all that. Worse scenario is if you end up "dating" or there seems to be a budding interest in person, but online/SMS communication still goes like this followed by "why don't you ever talk to me?" I'm so glad I'm married now heh.
