I would have done the same as the OP. I am busy and not needy. This is where simps are ruining the game by flooding them with attention.
OP was following traditional good game from back in the day.
I am guessing we need to account for the short attention spans of women nowadays.
I feel this.
But we all know that when a woman makes an OLD profile, soon almost every man she swipes right on will be a match and within a day or two she will be in a dozen different conversations. With guy she's actually somehow attracted to.
The irony is that when you actually know you are " her best choice regardless of any other man she matched with ", you'll have many more women, or at least better women in your own pipeline anyway. A flake from her would almost go unnoticed.
Your example is about talking a woman up in real life and leaving a good impression, and perhaps even reading she is really into you. That's gives much more space for such "games".
I should say that in real life your mouthpiece/ looks already did 75% of the work needed . On OLD it's a different story to use your mouthpiece effectively. But if you get her number why wouldn't you use your mouthpiece to feel her out little bit? There are more ways to communicate than basic dry shyte like how ya doing.
If she doesn't care about your personality she is 304 anyway and wouldn't matter if you had a speech and writing disability, she would still feck you.
