10 tips for texting your crush

 

Check these out, too...

  • Smooching secrets from real guys
Admit it. Ya totally dig him! You could not be more excited that the two of you exchanged numbers... finally! Only prob is you've got no idea what to say. No worries -- he’ll think your a total texting Q-T in no time with these tips.
 
1. Start the convo off right
We know it's tempting to start off your chat with a simple “hey, what's up?” but, HELLO, can you say boring? 'Cause your crush sure can! Try referencing an inside joke or something you guys have in common in a playful way. For example, if you guys were chatting about his t-shirt, you could text him something like, “My baby cuz is wearin the same shirt u were wearing Friday... same size too Tong”
 
2. Why so serious?
This is the total golden rule of texting. Keep your convo light, fun and playful. Leave the serious talk for real life.
 
3. Poke a li'l fun
To keep your convo fun, don’t be afraid to tease your guy a tad -- nothing that’ll hurt his feelings though.
 
4. Keep it short
Make sure your text is no longer than two sentences. Anything longer comes off too strong.
 
5. Don’t curse or be inappropriate
You want to come off as girly and cute. If you swear or say anything vulgar, your guy will find you as neither.
 
6. Switch up how long it takes you to reply
We're not talking about sitting by the clock determining an exact time to text your crush back. Be genuinely busy and check your phone when you get a free moment.
 
7. Show your funny side
You don’t have to be a stand-up comic to make a few jokes. Every text should make him smile. Remember that!
 
8. Don’t let your friends text for you
This is soo hard not to do, but you can’t let your friends text for you. After all you want your crush to have a thing for you, not your pals.
 
9. Don’t over think your replies
Okay, you are allowed to tweak a reply a li'l, but don’t overdo it. You want your texts to come off as natural.
 
10. Don’t sext!
C’mon, you are better than sexting! Don’t ever send a pic to a guy or say anything inappropriate. You don’t know who goes through his phone -- even if he tells you it's just him.

I am literally dying here! Just kidding but I do have a problem. I have had a crush on this guy since the moment I saw him (like 6 months ago) and I haven't said anything. I'm not the sort of person you would expect to be shy but on the inside I am. Anyways, he was in my class, and we sat beside each other. I got to know him pretty well and started to really like him. But then he transferred into another class( English ) and I haven't seen him for a while. Suddenly (when i had basicaly given up on him) he comes up with my number, and texts me. I answered but he hasn't replied.i donno what 2 do!!!!

Okay so this boy asked me out, and he hasn't given me his phone number in person. He got a new phone today and put his number on instagram. He doesn't have my phone number. Should I text him or should I wait until he texts me because my number is on instagram or until he gives me his number in person?

Hey girl,

I would text him if he's already asked you out and you know each other, but if you think it's too awkward I would just ask him for his number in person!
