(#1) Show Your Sense of Humor
Guys love a girl who know how to take a joke, but who also know how to make one. If you have a sense of humor, show it! Don't be afraid to play around. -
(#2) Make It Clear You're Interested
You don't want to come off as desperate or needy, but you also don't want to come off as an aloof snob. Regardless of who you are talking to, chances are they're afraid of being rejected. If you are interested in getting to know them, don't be too stand-offish. -
(#3) Compliment Him
Guys need to be complimented, too! This is especially important to do if he has paid you a compliment. But don't shower him in them. You don't want to sound insincere. -
(#4) Be Yourself
If you're funny, be funny. If you're sassy, be sassy. But don't try too hard to impress someone over text message by acting like someone you are not, or pretending to like something just for the sake of conversation. -
(#5) Find Common Interests
Even if this common interest is that you both hate Kanye West, find something you can agree on. This will be especially useful if the conversation gets dull. -
(#6) Show Them You Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously
It helps to show a guy you know how to laugh at yourself. While you shouldn't constantly be bashing yourself, it's good to laugh off something embarrassing you've done, like drunk texting him the night before. It gives him permission to do the same and makes him feel more comfortable. -
(#7) Give Them Time to Respond
It's easy to let your anxiety take over when you've just started texting with someone you are interested in, but try to be as patient as possible. A lot of people (unfortunately) wait a while on purpose to respond to make it seem like they're busier than they actually are. -
(#8) Leave a Little Mystery
Leave a little to the imagination – if you've just met the guy, he's probably not ready to hear about the cramps you're experiencing today, or how bloated you're feeling, or how your cat gave you that really cute look it always gives you every morning... -
(#9) Ask Them About Themselves
It's just common courtesy. He should be given just as much airtime as he gives you, and you should pay attention to what he says. -
(#10) Don't Be Too Available
Coming on too strong may scare him away a bit. Hang back a little and see how the relationship progresses before you voluntarily clear your schedule to make sure you will be there for each and every one of his needs. -
(#11) Don't Drag the Conversation Out
Know when to leave a conversation. It doesn't mean you two are done talking forever, just for right now. There is a reason it is dying out. Let it. -
(#12) Pick Up on Social Cues
If you sense that he is hinting at wanting to ask you out, take notice. Maybe he hasn't asked you out yet because he isn't sure if you are flirting back. Pick up on his cues and reciprocate. -
(#13) Use Emojis Wisely
Don't overdo it with your emojis. Using them sparingly is okay, but using your words is a much better way to ensure your guy is going to understand how you feel or what you're saying. Plus, using too many images can make you seem immature or as if you're not taking the conversation seriously. -
(#14) Check Grammar and Spelling
Hopefully, you have a phone with autocorrect that takes care of this for you. But as any phone owner can probably agree with: sometimes autocorrect fails us. Even if you don't make an embarrassing mistake, at least make sure you're using the right instance of "there" or "their." -
(#15) Be Reliable, Not Flaky
If you've promised to text him at 7 PM after you get home from work, do it. If you're in the middle of a conversation over text, respond in a timely manner. Flakiness and the inability to hold true to your word shows carelessness and could cause him to lose interest. -
(#16) Don't Drink and Text
It is never a good idea. Ever. Just don't do it. You will regret it. -
(#17) Keep It Simple
Don't try to get overly complicated in your conversations via text message. Save the gritty, intricate details for when you spend time together in person or for phone conversations, where things are more likely to be conveyed correctly. -
(#18) Be the One to Ask for a Date
Nothing is more refreshing to a guy than having a girl be the one asking them out. It is a nice change of pace, and it shows a level of confidence and security with yourself, which most people find attractive. If you ask them out, be prepared to foot the bill as well.
