I have been doing online dating, and so far so good. I can get numbers...but thats where it stops..
I get the number and then the woman and I start texting ...and the conversation is INCREDIBLY one-sided. I ask a question, she answers, I ask another question, she answers. I then ask ANOTHER question..she answers..no questions back..this had happened to me several times already..I don't know why this happens. If this girl doesn't want to talk to me, then why even give me her number?
Is there something I can do to avoid this? Or are these just examples of a decent guy meeting crappy people online?
Because at the stage the OP is talking about, he doesn't have the woman's phone number yet. It's only her first response to his message to her. And women doing online dating don't hand their phone number out right away, anyway. Most need to vet the guy, first.

I can't speak for others, but I loathed texting during dating and especially OLD. I didn't typically give out my number until we made a plan to meet, but even then, if a guy started texting me it was a turn-off. I had no interest in getting to know someone that way.
You asked "If this girl doesn't want to talk to me, then why even give me her number?" Well, maybe she does want to TALK to you, but isn't interested in TYPING to you.

He says he has the number, and if it is texting, he would have the respondents number right there.
OP, stop texting and call, make some small plans to meet for a drink or lunch.
Do not call her unless you ask her if she wants you to call. I can tell you I hate phone calls. I amat work during the day and texting is easier. At home I have two kids that would be very disruptive to a phone call. Texting is all the way around easier.

Sounds like they give out her numbers to lines of people and just want to find the suckers with the most money who are willing to support them. No other rational reason to give out your number and not chat.

Yes, there is. You are being vetted by a "princess" type. Stop replying and try another "hit", and so on, until you find one that does seem more interested in you than herself.
The ones that don't ask questions will almost assuredly turn out to be failures, if you ever do decide to go out together.
