From the interaction you've posted, I'd say it's a positive sign that she's replying in-depth. I used to be very much the same and didn't ask questions about people at all when I was younger due to social anxiety, and because I was taught that asking questions was nosy and being a busybody. If it's an issue for you, I see no reason why this problem should get in the way. It seems like something you can work on together if your relationship is positive in every other aspect. If the lack of asking questions eventually reveals itself to be a factor of her being self-absorbed or uninterested in you, then that'll be something that reveals itself in time. I would give the benefit of the doubt for now, and try prompting her to ask you questions. There's lot of question-asking games out there for couples to play too. 

She might just need some time.

This is actually very good suggestion! I bought a book "1001 questions to ask in a LDR" and when I used to talk to my boyfriend in the early days I would ask him to chose a number and then I'd read him the question and we would each take a turn answering. That's really how we got to know each other in the beginning because he was so shy and uncomfortable and had trouble opening up to me. It got better as time went on and now it's more natural.

I kind of had that feeling too. Like effort is still being put in on her side, just not the full effort possible. I just found it weird that someone who wasn't totally interested would initiate by choice, but maybe my perception is off? My gut is telling me its either trying to keep it on cruise control for now or she is just lacking the experience or will to lead the conversation, but it always helps to hear an outside perspective. Thanks. 

I would  listen to your gut. The unfortunate thing is that LDR’s are different. They take a lot of desire to make it work on both sides. Both people need to keep up communication either through text or video chat( I think both of these things should be implemented unless there is a good reason for either person not to) . It’s too easy to be distracted by the people around you that you could easily date when you aren’t really invested in the LDR. Too easy to lose interest you’re not strongly in it.

I agree with some of the others here, take it to FaceTime and decide if you guys vibe off each other or if you don’t and hence you’re just wasting your time!
