How often to text girl

I have known this girl for around 4 weeks, met once only and not sure how often to keep in contact with her? Message her daily or every few days?

Just text her whenever you want to. There's no point in limiting yourself to texting once every few days if you think of something you want to say to her more regularly than that. Obviously don't text her every minute of every day but a few texts a day will make sure she keeps thinking about you and show that you're interested.

Also the conversations never move forward in terms of they are always about work, plans for weekend. Whenever I try and move the conversation forward she ignores it.

Take a hint

Message her with some big news, to start a convo. Maybe mention to her that "Lady Thatcher has died. Hope will we get a bank holiday now! lollolololol"

If she ignores you, move on. But I hazard a guess that she ain't gonna ignore you.

I have tried a similar thing in the past with her, she will reply most probably in a couple of hours, she will then ask me questions etc, I will reply thinking the convo is starting then no response.

In a couple of days I will send another message and this feels like one big circle. How can I change this?

Mate, I don't think you can. It may be hard to take if you're into her but the reason her texting is infrequent and you haven't met up more times is probably because she's not as interested in you. Instead of wasting your time with a girl who's not responding, best to focus your attention elsewhere!

I understand what your saying but if she was not interested in me, then why would she reply? If I don't send her a message for a few days she will message me off her own back starting a new conversation. Confused now as to why she would do this if not interested?

Hmm, what does she say when she initiates the convo?

Asking about my work, family, plans for the week. Then what she has done during the week, her plans for the week, lets me know how her nieces and nephews are doing. Nothing detailed but you know just enough to keep me interested

Well from that, I'm sort of picking 2 things: 1. she probably does want you to chase her a bit and 2. the more you keep talking about family, nieces and nephews, the further you're going to get into becoming good/close friends.

To change that you might want to make your texts a bit more flirtier, it doesn't hurt to be a bit cheeky and naughty, see how far you can push the boundaries, start a bit of banter, see how she responds and ask her out for another day/evening out. I don't know your situation fully but those would be my suggestions.

Tried that kind of, we were talking about how good the weather has been over this weekend gone and how she had to work on the Sunday so I said I hope your going to think of me sitting in the garden enjoying the sun while your at work. Personally think I could have flirted a bit more with the text but she doesn't seem that kind of girl that would flirt back and she didn't even reply to that basic text.

I asked her a week ago if you want to meet up again... her "excuse" was she was busy with work but will let me know when shes got a day free.

Don't really know what I am doing wrong. Trying my best with her and can't figure out if shes not interested then why doesn't she just say "lets stay friends for now etc".

What's the point of incessant texting? Either you like her enough to ask her out or you decide you're not that into her and stop texting. Strike while the iron is hot. She might well lose interest if you don't make a move.
