1

“I know your secret admirer…”

Download Article

Tease and flirt with the girl to let her know that you’re crushing on her. If you’re crushing on a girl and she doesn’t know it yet, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to let her know. Start off with a message that’s a little vague so she questions who you’re talking about and continues the conversation. After a little bit, come out with the truth and tell her how you feel.
- “You want to know who I want as my Valentine? Reread the first word of the question 😉”
- “I told Cupid about someone I have a crush on. Have you seen him yet?”
- “I think someone you know likes you. I’ll give you a hint, their name is spelled M-E.”

“Roses are red, violets are blue…”

Get a little cheesy with a classic Valentine’s poem. You’ve probably seen this poem a million times, but you can change the last few lines to make your own unique message. Whatever you write at the end of the poem, try to make it rhyme so it sounds super cute when she reads it out loud. You can even change the setup to make your poem a little more unique.^{[1]

Send something short and sweet with emojis to sound extra flirty. You don’t need to write the girl a long and sincere message to let her know that you’re interested. Sometimes, the best texts are quick and casual so you can keep the conversation light. Throw in a few romantic emojis, like hearts or kisses, so your message comes across clearer.^{[2]

Let the girl know that you miss her and want to spend the day with her. Maybe the girl you’re talking to lives far away, or maybe you aren’t able to see her when Valentine’s rolls around. If you’re thinking about her and wish you could hang out, wish her a good day and say something sweet to get her attention. Some other things you could try saying are:
- “Even though we’re not together this Valentine’s, I’m still thinking of you.”
- “I’d love to see you today, but at least I can say Happy Valentine’s here!”
- “I don’t know how I can survive Valentine’s Day without seeing your face.”

Share your favorite romantic song to show her how you really feel. If you have a favorite love song or you know the girl’s favorite band, wish her a happy Valentine’s and link it in your text. When she listens to the song and hears the lyrics, she’ll get the impression that you’re trying to tell her how you feel without directly saying it to her. Some good songs you could try include:^{[3]

Question

What if you don't have a girlfriend?

Community Answer

Ask someone out! That's the best way to get a girlfriend. It might seem scary, but you'll be glad once you do it. (If she declines, wait a few weeks and ask her again, or ask someone else out.)

Do you have a phone? The way my crush told me that she liked me back was by texting me. Maybe try that!
