“Make your crush laugh. Start off with a short, funny statement about something you both saw recently, or that references a previous conversation.”— Sean Jameson, yourtango.com
“Eventually the conversation is going to wind down, don't be the one trying to find reasons to keep it going! This could come across a little desperate and nobody wants that.”— Jordin Keim, love.allwomenstalk.com
“Text flirting is a lot of fun, but the problem with texting is that fact that you can't convey tone. Make sure that all of the words you chose can be easily understood as a flirty message and not taken too seriously.”— Jordin Keim, love.allwomenstalk.com
“There's no better way to text flirt than to compliment each other on what you like best. Compliment your man's good looks, his athletic abilities, his personality features, or what he was wearing earlier in the day.”— Jordin Keim, love.allwomenstalk.com
“Don’t text naughty with a guy directly. Always make him ask the questions. Text him about what you’re doing when he asks, but text something personal or intimate like ‘I’m trying my new clothes on’, ‘I just had a shower’, etc. Make him think dirty without really talking dirty.”— Sarah Summer, lovepanky.com
“Using his name while texting him makes the exchange of texts so much more personal and intimate. Every few texts, use his name especially when you’re saying something complimentary or cute. He’ll start liking you a lot more. And if you do have a pet name for him, make sure you use that often too.”— Sarah Summer, lovepanky.com
“Use a lot of smiley faces. Smiley faces are flirty and fun, especially when you use them in texts. Sometimes, all you need is a smiley face and a wink to say ‘hello’ to begin a conversation. Use smiley faces in your texts almost all the time, and you’ll bring a smile on his face too.”— Sarah Summer, lovepanky.com
“Don't go overboard with abbreviations and acronyms. Things like "MTFBWU" (May the force be with you) and overzealous "LOL" usage should be reserved for texts with your tween cousin or BFF, not to a PBF (potential boyfriend).”— Olivia Baniuszewicz, glamour.com
“Text him back within 24 hours. Anything beyond that reads "I'm just not that into you—or your texts.”— Olivia Baniuszewicz, glamour.com
“Don't just text "Hi." Even if the only reason you're texting him is because you're thinking about him, this kind of short and shy flirtexting typically leads nowhere.”— Olivia Baniuszewicz, glamour.com
