Whether you’re chatting with your girlfriend or a girl you’re crushing on, teasing is a great way to make her laugh and strengthen the bond you share. There are lots of different methods to choose from when teasing a girl over text, from poking playful fun at her taste, mocking her, or giving her a cute nickname. Keep reading to learn about the many ways of successfully teasing a girl over text, as well as the purpose of teasing and advice about how to tease appropriately.
Things You Should Know
- Give her a nickname that pokes friendly fun at her interests or personality. It’ll show her you’re comfortable around her and that you see her.
- Tease her about her taste or other aspects of her personality. This could lead to a friendly debate between the two of you that’ll increase intimacy.
- Joke about the two of you dating to hint that you’re interested in taking your relationship to the next level.
- Stay attuned to signs she’s not comfortable with your teasing, and be sure to avoid subjects you know will cross the line. If she seems unhappy, back off.
