Maybe you two have an inside joke and you see something that reminds you of it. Snap a picture of it and text it to him. This is way more interesting than a typical, “Hey. "
For instance, you might send a text that says, “Want to meet up sometime this week?” It sounds confident, it sounds bold, and it doesn’t sound like you’re clutching the phone waiting for his response.
You might consider when you texted him—was it at a super inconvenient time when he might be away from his phone? Take this into account if you’re anxiously waiting for a response. Avoid sending a string of texts in a row. You don’t want him to pick up his phone only to see that you texted him a dozen times in a row.
For example, if he texts you with a vague promise to hang out, but doesn’t give you details, don’t do all the planning for him. Say something like, “As much as I like planning dates, I think it would be more fun if you decide. " He’ll either respond with date specifics or he’ll pass and you won’t be wasting your time and energy.
For example, text, “Stop looking so hot in the pics you post. You’re killing me over here!” or, “If you want to make a move, today would be the perfect time to go for it. "
Remember, you want to get him interested or curious about you. Don’t put all your cards on the table right away!
You might text, “Hey, I had a really great time with you yesterday. We should meet up after I get back in town. "
For example, text, “Hey, I assume we’re not on for tonight? I haven’t heard from you and I’ve got other things I’d like to do if not. " This kind of text puts you in charge since you’re telling him you’ve got potential plans and you won’t wait around for him to ask you out.
If he’s into you, this gives him time to wonder what you’re up to and curiosity can make him even more interested in you.
For example, don’t gossip about mutual friends or complain about your exes. You should also avoid texting about topics that are hard to talk about by text such as politics, religion, money, and sex. Mentioning past relationships is definitely off-limits! No guy wants to hear you complain about your ex via text message, so stay positive and don’t talk about them.
If he takes days to respond and doesn’t seem engaged, try to communicate more in person instead of by text since he doesn’t seem too interested in electronic communication.
If it’s too late and you’ve already done this, don’t panic. Send a short text to apologize and point out that you’d been drinking. Then, drop it and don’t worry about it anymore.
