7 Ways To Text Your Crush And Win Them Over

Texting is usually the easiest way to start a conversation with someone. For many people with social anxiety, texting is a huge relief. But here’s the thing, texting is somewhat of an art form. Though it seems easier, it can be tricky since you try to get to know them without seeing their facial expressions. But that doesn’t mean you cannot succeed if you know how to text your crush.

You just need to be more aware of what you say and how you say it. So, learn these tricks of the trade to get you the master texter.

Now, at the end of the day, there are no strict rules that you must follow, since you’re the one in the conversation and not me. However, use these tips and tricks as a guideline if you’re not sure how to text your crush.

They help you put yourself on the right path to success with your crush. Who knows, maybe you’ll even get yourself a first date out of it. So, before you freak out, just follow these tips to help you find the happy texting balance.

# Send one text

If you send the very first text, just send one. Whether you just want to talk or ask them out, start out with one text. Don’t make it an essay long, just a simple and sweet text which lets them know that you’re thinking of them. Now, if there is no reply from them after a day or two, you can send them one more. After that? That’s it, no more texts.

# Go meme easy

Listen, I think you can send memes to your crush, just don’t swarm them with every meme you find hilarious. Social media is a great tool to use if you want to communicate with someone. You don’t want to come across as annoying. If you’re always sending memes then you’re annoying. Only send them the gems.

# If they aren’t texting you, don’t ask them

There is nothing more desperate than asking someone why they’re not replying. There’s a reason why: they’re just not that into you. I know you want them to reply to you. I know the feeling, but not everyone is going to like you. Of course, it’s rude of them not to reply, even to tell you they’re not into you. But if they were into you, they’d reply. It’s that simple.

# Ask them questions

Now, don’t go on this interview-type conversation. Try to get a flow going and insert a question every here and there to get to know them. Of course, the best way to get to know them is to actually spend time with them, but you can also do this virtually through texting or FaceTime. So, do ask questions but not to the point where it looks like you dig for information. Slow and steady wins the race.

# Leave out talks about the ex

We all have baggage, but that doesn’t mean you have to talk about it right now. You’re trying to get to know your crush, so if that’s the case then leave out exes. Sure, you can talk about past relationships. If they’ve had any, for example. But you’re trying to keep the conversation fresh and about shared interests.

# No midnight texts

It’s just not a good idea, I mean, don’t you have things to do? Not only does it look like you have nothing to do if you’re always texting them, but it also can give off the impression that you’re looking for a booty call.

Simply avoid texting your crush at times of the day where it comes off as a “casual sex” type of text. That is unless you work night shifts or have crazy schedules.

# Keep the goal in mind

Your goal isn’t to spend the rest of your life talking to your crush. Your goal is to land a date with them. So, yes, text them, but make sure that you eventually achieve the goal of asking them out on a date. You want to get to know them but you want this to happen face-to-face.
