Expert Answer

Avoid starting a text with the full force of your feelings. Don't say things like, "We haven't talked in months, and I really miss you." Instead, keep your opening light and soft by starting with something that reminded you of them, or a conversation you had a while ago. Going too strong with your emotions can be too much for some people.

Think about his personality and his sense of humor. You could try sending him a compliment (like “I thought you killed it with that presentation yesterday!”) or something funny, like a silly meme or video. You could even send it with a note saying something like, “Hey, I saw this and thought of you!”

Staff Answer

If you’re looking for an excuse beyond just checking in to see how they’re doing, you could try asking a question. For example, if you’re in a class together, you could say, “Have you heard when we might be getting those quizzes back from last week?” You could also text them about a topic you know they’re interested in. For example, “Hey, check it out, the new Star Wars trailer just dropped! :)”

Question

How often should you text your crush?

Staff Answer

Start by sending just one text, and see if they respond. Give them at least 1 day before sending another text. If they do respond, a good rule of thumb is to send just one reply per text from them until you get comfortable enough with each other to send larger groups of texts. If your crush is willing to converse with you, you might try texting them every 2-3 days at first, then work your way up to more frequent chats if they seem into it!

I texted a girl and she replied that I shouldn't text her. What should I do?

Community Answer

You should stop texting her, unless you think she's kidding. If you keep texting her it could really annoy her and she might block your number.

Question

Someone likes me a lot and I like them a little bit but I want to get to know them first. What do I do?

Community Answer

If they like you, then ask them questions about themselves first. That way, you can learn more about the person, and they would be excited to hear from you and they'll most likely answer those questions because they want to talk to you.

Question

What if you're talking to a guy, and then he doesn't respond to your message, at all? The guy I fancy keeps doing this, and I just want to at least think I'm on his mind.

Community Answer

Let it go. Don't keep texting him back. If he is interested in you, he will eventually text you back. If he's not into you, the silence will be a useful way of telling that you fancy the wrong guy.

You cannot be completely sure unless he tells you. There are many signs, such as if he acts flirty or slightly bashful, then he probably likes you.

Question

What topics can I discuss with my crush via text?

Community Answer

You can ask them what sports they like. If they don't like any, try to get to know their hobbies. You can discuss hobbies, sports, school, favorite bands, mutual interests, or basically anything that makes both of you comfortable.

It all depends on the girl. But most of the time, just be more flirty with her, and if she's being flirty back you're in the bag!

Question

What do I text a guy to look like I'm cool, not liking him and not desperate?

Community Answer

Just ask him about his favorite hobbies or sports, and he will think you want to become friends, but if you start to get to nosy he will think you have a crush on him. So, keep it simple and ask about stuff he likes, and he may like you but not knowing that you like him.

You should try to find someone else. That way you both save tears and time. Just continue to be her friend, and if something naturally happens later, so be it.

Question

How do you tell a girl that you like them?

Community Answer

First, you get to know them. Once she gets comfortable with you, then you might start emailing or texting. And then, once you know each other well enough, just say that you like them. If she starts kind of blushing, or showing signs of flirting, then you know she will like you back.

Just be patient; she might have gotten busy with something, like work or class. Give her a few days before texting her again. If it's been a while and she goes to your school, consider talking to her in person.

Question

How do I get a boy to ask me out?

Community Answer

Flirt with him first, and see if he flirts back. If he shows clear interest, ask flirty questions like "So, who do you like?" and "Are you ever going to ask me out?" If he's still too shy, you may want to try asking him out yourself!

Question

What should I do if a boy asks "Who is this?"

Community Answer

It depends on the situation. If you got his number through one of your mutual friends, then it might be fun to play a little guessing game with him and make him guess your name. If he gave you his number, then he's not worth your time since he can't even remember that he gave you his number or who you are.

Question

When in the flirting process, should I flirt first? Will it make her want to like me?

No, you should get to know her first, and then once you know you two will feel comfortable around each other, then start flirting with her. It will not make her want to like you if you just start flirting out of the blue.

You can't force someone to like you. If they don't like you you have to accept that and move on. But if you're unsure, ask her how she feels, and respect her words.
