Expert Advice for Flirting with a Guy Over Text

PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Bring up a shared experience or something that you have in common. This can be a great conversation starter or a good way to revive a conversation that’s getting dry. McCurley suggests to “text [about] something that you both have in common, like a show you both like. Ask him if he’s seen the latest episode!”[10] You can also try to “reconnect over something from a previous conversation,” adds Keegan, “whether that was in person or something you were texting about before.”[11]
    • For example, if you laughed over a funny moment together the last time you saw him, say something like, “Omg, I was just thinking about when we ______ last week. I can’t get over how funny that was!”
  2. 2
    Give him a sweet but genuine compliment. “Complimenting him is a good way to renew the sparks,” says McCurley. For example, “‘You have such a great sense of humor…I miss your jokes.’”[12] Dating coach Imad Jbara agrees that “admiration is the best way to compliment a guy through text. Things like, for instance, ‘You’re so strong’ or…‘I like how smart you are,’ ‘I love the fact that you’re able to take initiative,’ ‘I like that you’re a leader.’”[13]
  3. 3
    Match the energy of his responses without going overboard. “Usually, it’s better not to show too much interest in a guy [initially],” says Mirgorodskaya. “Try to text in the same way that he’s texting in order to see if he’s interested in you.”[14] Jbara advises that, “if he’s flirting with you, you respond with flirty messages. Just don’t come off as too [eager].”[15]
    • However, this doesn’t mean to only send dry, dismissive texts. He’ll probably think that you’re not interested and stop texting you altogether!
    • Instead, “if you’re texting him, and he’s texting you back and forth, give him something to work with” so that he has an easy way to respond to you and keep the convo alive, says Jbara.[16]

When flirting over text message, ask him questions that are exciting and move the conversation forward. Jump between different topics so he's interested to continue the conversation.

If a song just came on and that reminded you of him, you can say, "Hey, I'm listening to this song and it made me think of you." Show that interest and that common ground and then it'll make the other person excited as well!

It's okay to use emojis here and there to show that you're lighthearted and fun, but don't overuse them because that'll come off as too eager.
