In this article, we’re providing the ultimate list of cute texts and quotes, whether you’re looking for something flirty, funny, or romantic.

Steps
How to Send Cute Texts to Your Boyfriend
-
1Wait for the perfect time to send your message. Timing is everything when it comes to sending cute texts, so consider your boyfriend’s mood and the vibe of the conversation before making your move. You could send a text when he’s having a bad day, or just when he least expects it. Surprising him is guaranteed to have him staring at his phone like a teenager with a crush!
- Alternatively, you could get into a habit of texting him a good morning or good night text every day. Just make sure to be consistent!

2Send a genuine text that’s specific and personal. To make your partner feel special, you need to “be genuine about something you love about [him]…and let [him] know in a very authentic way,” says relationship coach Zach Pontrello.[3] Think about what you truly admire or appreciate about your boyfriend, whether it’s his kindness, patience, or the way he lights up the room. Then, weave that into your message to come up with something meaningful.
- If you want to touch his heart, bring up his interests, inside jokes, or small details from previous conversations. For example, if he’s into soccer, you could say, “Neymar has nothing on your nutmeg, babe.”
-
3Mix up your messages to keep things exciting. The trick is to send cute, romantic, and flirty messages to keep your boyfriend on his toes. Subtle flirtation can be more intriguing than overly explicit messages, since it leaves more to the imagination. You could say, “Thinking about our next date” or “I can’t wait to see you,” to build anticipation for the next time you see him in person.
- If possible, send a mix of shorter and longer messages so he doesn’t know what to expect from you, and add an occasional image, GIF, or emoji!
