Tips

Use good grammar and spelling. She’ll have an easier time reading and replying to your messages if you steer clear of shorthand abbreviations. For example, avoid saying something like, “heyyy, what r u up 2 2nite?” Instead, you might type out, “Hey there! What are you doing tonight?”Thanks
-
Just be yourself and have fun so you leave a good impression and show off your true personality.Thanks
-
Take the lead on most of the conversations, but don’t be afraid to wait it out and let her reach out first sometimes. If she doesn’t send you a text, you can always start a new conversation.Thanks
