Send a message about his favorite topic and see if he’ll respond. The fact is that men feel clueless and don’t know what to say about a topic in which they’re not particularly interested. On the contrary, if you bring up a topic that he feels passionate about, he’ll be more than willing to engage in a conversation. “I saw it on TV” or “I heard that your company released a new model” will definitely prod him to respond. Be prepared, however! He may come back with a technical response, and you’ll need to maintain your interest in the topic.
