What to do when a text goes nowhere?

Me and my friend text like once or twice a week and sometimes the messages go nowhere or have a dangling "end".

I'll write a paragraph and she'll respond "Yeah, I hear ya" or something generic. Even when she texts me first and then we say "yeah, everything's good" "that's cool" and then the texts end.

Unless there's something dramatic to talk about like our relationships/work/friends, we don't have much to say (and I don't have any dramatic situations to go on and on about, sooo....).

Is it pointless to text if we really have little to keep conversation about?? I let her know about all the positive things going on and she just writes back (or says in real life) "Oh, that's good.." We have great convo when we're complaining LOL! What about texts that go nowhere?

    Yes, it's pretty pointless to text unless you've actually got something to say. Same goes for talking on the phone or in person. Not everyone has a super exciting life with tons to report on. So just text less and make it actually mean something.

    I have no idea why endless text conversations are important. If i want to have a conversation with someone, i call and talk with my voice or ask them to get together.

    Electronics huh? Let's bring back stationary and the US Postal Service. They hardly ever lost those messages, even if it did take a week to deliver them.
