The trick to online dating is listen to your gut and not to try to figure out what bugs you about something, but to keep going until you find someone who you think is generally an OK person. I did online dating for years. I probably contacted or was contacted by about 1600 women, Of those I emailed or corresponded with about 500. Of those I had multiple emails with maybe 300. Of those I met with probably 200, of of those had multiple dates with maybe 50, and out of those I liked and becomes friends with maybe 10. I probably has sex with maybe 25. Some are deceptive and outright liars, or just want a free meal and a movie or something.
What the saying about online dating is ... the odds are good, but the goods are odd.
I got very sick and tired of wasting time with women who ranged from unfit to psychopathic. You have to look at it like a job in way to try to find someone. I had some relationships and lived with 2 of them for a time.
After all of that, I would prefer to just have friends of either sex rather than looking for a wife or girlfriend. But that is a problem to, because for most women, they are looking for boyfriends or husbands, and if you are friends with them and they find someone that usually breaks up the friendship.
Get involved in activities and talk to many people and ask a few of the ones you like out when you see them and they are not crazy. I think that would work better and save a lot of trouble and time. ;-)

Maybe she's just socially awkward and not much of a conversationalist, but do you want a socially awkward girlfriend? Especially if you don't think she's a good listener, which socially awkward people can be great at?
Or are you telling her all about yourself without waiting for her to ask questions? I've seen this in young heterosexuals, they seem to think it's proper for the man to tell all about himself first, and it's something I don't understand.
