How do you deal with dry texters?

We all know this person. The bland texter, or messenger. The person you have a hard time talking to because they provide bland responses, leaving you wondering whether you should respond or not. I've had some conversations with people on this site which have made me ask this question. I've been messaging with people I'm just now meeting for the first time but have been unsure of how to deal with their messaging habits. So... here's what I mean.

I got a message from someone I hadn't met before but seemed familiar. Here's how the conversation went.

Her: Hi

Basix: Hello, hello.

Her: Hru

Basix: I'm doing pretty well, thanks for asking. How are you?

Her: Good

Now, after this, I ignored her for a little bit. I thought that since she had messaged me first, she had something to ask me, or something. But after a while, she hadn't said anything at all. So I continued to wait for something, until she said "hello" again. Now, in times like these, I strongly believe that I am not obligated to carry a conversation that I didn't start. I feel that if I am messaged to, the sender should have a topic in mind, and we can go from there. I think it's common courtesy to expect the sender of a message to not say "hello, how are you" and move on with a "good". After this, we had a decent conversation about school and other things. But for the past few days, I've noticed the same repeated cycle.

Hi.

Hello!

hru

I'm ok, thanks for asking. How are you?

Good

2 hours later.

Hello

Hi.

Nothing much. What are you up to?

Nothing rn

So I ask again. How do you guys deal with dry texters and messengers like such. They come up so often, and it feels rude to just ignore them all the time.

Dry.

Now dry your eyes

It was a typo. I meant to say “tears” instead of “texters”. Autocorrect is always weird. But anyways, I need more tears! They’re getting too dry.

I can only cry-cream. But they aren’t dry at all.

Or you could cry diamonds. More lucrative

Some of us don’t have special super powers to be able to do that. Crying out soda would be cool.

Ask em a question that forces them to write something longer, like how far they are on a school project

That could be good. But don’t you think that if they say hello, they’re obligated to have an idea of what to talk about?

That's a good point. Usually when they say hi out of nowhere and then don't attempt to make any complex conversation, it just means they're nervous or forgot what they were going to say
