Why do people reply with one word response?

Me: Hey. Don't you see in college these days. Where did you disappear?
Classmate: Home.
Me: Okay. When did you go?
She: Saturday.

I don't even know what I'm supposed to say next lol. These one-word replies are so annoying. Put some effort into the conversation :|

They may be indicating they don't want to talk. I'd put money on it.

@beingawesome: if she's always short with you? It's time to move on.

Not always, but too often 😐

@beingawesome: back away and see if she initiates with you. If not? You have your answer.

Maybe she doesn't want to have a conversation right now?

@NorthernRoses: It's happened more than once. I thought of her as a friend. We have gone out together twice. But her indifference while texting confuses me.

They don't want to talk?
Socially inept?
Just a rude person?
You decide how it makes you feel, then decide what you wish to do to deal with it.
Remember this person may always choose to behave like this.
I can't speak for your friend, but I tend to use one word answers when I don't want to give any more details than that.
