How can you tell if a girl doesn't want to text you anymore?

Everything always starts out lively, friendly, and loquacious. But after a while, texts from them start to become hollow, barren, listless, short, and always written in a way that makes "the conversation has ended" your first instinct. But still too vague and ambiguous to decipher what. Leaving you rather worried.

And the worst part is this happens with platonic relationships. Girls you don't have any plans with other than friendship. Which makes this the most disheartening. You can afford to lose a crush. Losing a friend is a different matter.

And the harder part is that you can't be direct and clear about these things. Asking them if something's wrong is prying too much, and makes them feel invaded (plus people are rarely give you honest answers). You have to wait for the appropriate context in order to bring this up; otherwise mentioning it out of the blue scares them away; and when it *is* appropriate, it often has the worst fallout. Even so much as *attempting* to investigate the problem (if there is one) is invasive, persistent, and a violation of their boundaries and personal life one way or another. And the issue of "do they still want to be friends with me?" is very childish in a lot of people's books.

So you're pretty much left with vague, meaningless text messages to determine whether or not someone you potentially care about wants anything to do with you.
