How old is this person? Twelve?

Seriously ... as a 29/F I would consider this type of conversation a waste of time. Sure, when I was in my teens, I thought it was fun. I also wanted the male attention. But, really, you can just come out and ask her why she is being silly. Though it sounds like (to me anyway), you should find someone who will carry a conversation.

Time to move on.
And why are you messing around on a dating website?
I don't know where you live but there must be some girls you could meet face to face and judge on reality instead of internet assumptions and unrealistic hoped for dreams.

You are one of the lucky ones. And I wish you and your husband a long and happy marriage.
I met my wife 30 years ago in a bar. Having a lasting relationship from that is almost as rare as meeting someone on line. It has produced 6 kids and many happy years.
I'm not putting anyone down. I just think good outcomes from online or bar meetings in general don't usualy wind up as long term relationships.
There are execptions. I guess we are both proof of that.
The OP's post doesn't sound like his particular situation is going anywhere and his respondent doesn't sound like the type of person that is worth persuing.

That's not a she, that's a bot. You're talking to a poorly written computer program that was designed to attract you to some other website where you have to pay money to see "her" naked pictures or webcam.
