Do you just poke her back? Freind request her, message her or what?
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Yea I messed up she did message me back but only to tell me what her boyfriend had got her for Valentines day.Johnnyventana said:"How to respond when a chick pokes you on Facebook?"
Explain to her how poking is very 2006. Also, after you poked her back, the later message was a no-no.
Now she knows she's got you. You're already behind the 8-ball.
So tell her she can poke herself from now on.timmylivingalie said:Yea I messed up she did message me back but only to tell me what her boyfriend had got her for Valentines day.

Just kidding...or AM I?
Seriously though, if you don't particularly wanna "put yourself all the way OUT THERE" by messaging her, you could try poking her back just to see of you can bring HER "all the way OUT THERE".
If you can pull that off, you can get past a lot of the romantic judo that some women will pull in order to get YOU to come across as being the one whose interested in THEM.
