Me: This is kinda awkward so im just gonna say it. Please take that picture of yourself down. You know which one I'm talking about. (Forgot where exactly i saw this opener)
(Cut the awkward part out next time. Why do you want to register that in her brain? Some women have terrible sense of humor and it's hard to convey your intention through texts, so use a 
to make sure)
Her: Lol which one
Me: i was just kidding they all look good. My names XXXX i just had to make sure you had a good sense of humor
Her: Oh haha wtf i was like who is this guy
(This was the perfect cute for being cocky and funny. Your future ex husband!)
Me: Haha im not that mean. But hey you passed the test!
Her: Haha thanks i guess
(If you haven't noticed by now, her responses are all autopilot. Don't banter useless stuffs too much, especially when it comes to online dating. It makes the conversation stale and your impression fades)
Me: So whats a girl with such a pretty smile doing online dating for? (Possibly a way to find out her values)
(Don't compliment her on her PHYSICAL quality and RIGHT OFF THE BAT. Hundreds other guys on the site are doing that. You're hardly know her at all, don't show too much interest. Make her earn your attention or compliment)
Her: My friends made this thing for me lol
Me: UH huh so hows that search for that Mr. Right that every girl wants going?
(Perfect cue to tease her. Yet you went on with another question. Learn to LISTEN to what they say and FOCUS on them or the moment. NOT YOU or WHAT you're gonna say next)
Her: Naw im done with guys for a while (bitch shield?)
(She's giving you some info to work with, you could have dig deeper and create an emotional bond with her. But again you didn't really LISTEN.)
Me: Thats a shame. Not every guys the same you know
(Now you started to qualifying yourself to her instead of flipping the switch and make her qualify to you why she hates guys)
Her:Yea thats what i heard last and it wasnt true (shit test?)
Me: Unfortunately a lot of guys have used that and been dishonest. But by you being on here id assume you havent given up completely
(And you kept qualifying. Like one of those door to door saleman who can't sell their products but stick his foot in the door so she can't close the door and has to be nice)
Her: No im just on here cuz im bored
(Her interest is relatively low at this point. And she's throwing you a hook expecting you to entertain her. I'm sure you know better not to be her personal dancing monkey)
You did OK, however you're being too technical and inattentive about the information she gave you. Your first step is really learn how to LISTEN. Take couples class on social psychology and pay attention to details. Adapt a mindset of enjoying things at the moment rather than being too obsessed with the outcomes. Your conversation with her is like one of those conversation you have with a random stranger on the subway. It has no connection, just superficial bantering.
