Have you ever found yourself staring at your phone, trying to come up with the perfect message to send to the guy you have a crush on? We all know it’s not easy to figure out what to say, but there are plenty of things you can text to keep the conversation going. Mytour has compiled a list of useful topics and sample messages you can try to increase your chances of getting a response from him!
Steps
Bring up a previous conversation.
Recalling a topic you’ve both chatted about is an easy way to start. If you’ve talked before, try to remember some details from that conversation. Mention something interesting you both discussed to keep the mood light. From there, you can smoothly transition to another topic. Here are a few examples:
- “I listened to the song you recommended, and it’s AMAZING! How did you discover that band?”
- “Ugh, I’m so bad at English, and now we’re in the same group. I’ll need your help a lot. Where should I even start learning?”
- “I can’t believe you said pineapple belongs on pizza today. Are you a pineapple fanatic or something?? Haha”
Bring up something he likes.
He’ll be excited to talk about his passions. Pay attention to what he often mentions in conversations or check his social media to learn about his interests. Naturally bring up those topics when chatting online and let him take the lead. If you show genuine interest, he’ll likely keep the conversation going. Here are some suggested messages:
- “Did you watch the soccer match yesterday? Which team were you rooting for?”
- “So, my friends and I are trying to pick a new board game to try. Do you know any good ones?”
- “I heard you’re really into fishing. Do you know any great spots around here?”
Compliment him.
Men love it when women say something nice about them. Mention something you genuinely admire about his appearance, personality, or any other aspect. Just avoid going overboard or making it sound intimidating, as it might make him uncomfortable. Here are a few things you could say:
- “Your smile is so radiant!”
- “Just wanted to say your outfit today looks absolutely 🔥!”
- “You have such a charming way of talking!”
Ask personal questions.
Learn more about him to build a deeper connection. Try asking about his hobbies, family, work, or any topic you think he’d enjoy. Here are some questions you could text:
- “What’s your most memorable childhood memory?”
- “What are five things you want to do before you turn 50?”
- “What’s your favorite book/movie/band?”
Tell a joke.
This is your chance to break the ice and show off your sense of humor. When two people share a similar sense of humor, their bond grows stronger. So, let him see your silly side. You can share a cheesy joke, tease about something you witnessed, or say anything you think he’ll find funny. Here are a few things you could say to make your crush laugh:
- “I have a hilarious story to tell you, but while I was looking for my phone to text you, I totally forgot it.”
- “Are you tired? You’ve been running through my mind all morning!”
Ask him for advice.
He’ll feel good knowing you value his opinion. If you’re facing a challenge or just want to break the ice, approach him for help. You can ask for advice on anything, even if it’s not a big deal. Try asking for recommendations on music, movies, or places to eat if you want to keep things light. Here are some things you could text him:
- “Hey, I’m in the mood to watch a movie but don’t know what to pick. Any recommendations?”
- “Hi, I need your help with something. Are you free?”
- “I’m so hungry! Do you know any good places to eat nearby?”
Share memes or GIFs.
Make the conversation fun without saying much. When you come across something funny online, forward it to him to make him laugh. It could relate to a previous conversation you’ve had, or it’s a fun way to break the ice and start a new chat on another day.
- For example, you could send him a picture of a cat hanging from a tree branch with the caption “Hang in there!”
- If you’ve talked about favorite movies before, you could send a GIF of a scene or moment you love.
Tease him a little.
A bit of teasing keeps the conversation from becoming too serious. Teasing is a great way to add fun and light flirtation. To avoid seeming aggressive, keep your jokes and teases about small things, like typos or unimportant things he’s said. Emojis can also help lighten the mood. Here are some examples:
- “Oh, you think you can beat me in a trivia game? Good luck with that 😉”
- “Wait, what?? You were so sleepy you stopped by a ‘thinking’ spot on your way home? I thought you went there to ‘reflect,’ haha 😜”
Say something flirty.
Don't hesitate to express bold feelings if you like him. If he knows about your feelings, he might continue the conversation. Start with subtle hints or playful teasing to see if he likes you. Just avoid being too forward or bringing up anything sexual right away, as it might make him uncomfortable. Here are some examples for you:
- “It’s so lonely here! Wish someone could keep me company.”
- “I dreamt about you last night. Guess what I saw? 😉”
- “Oh, I wish you were here to share this moment with me…”
Send cute selfies.
Your pictures will make him think of you more often. Take some flirty selfies and choose the most attractive ones. You can pose in a nice outfit or simply share what you’re doing with him. He’ll appreciate seeing you and will want to keep the conversation going.
- Avoid sending nude photos. You wouldn’t want to make him uncomfortable or risk having your private images leaked someday.
Mention his name.
Men tend to pay more attention to messages when they see their name. Use his name in a few messages while chatting online to grab his attention. He’ll feel more respected. Just remember not to overdo it, as it might come off as manipulative. Check out these examples:
- “Haha, I can’t believe you just said that, Tuấn!”
- “Hey Trung, can I ask for your advice when you have time?”
- “Hi Nam! Long time no see! How have you been?”
Show excitement with exclamation marks.
He’s more likely to respond if your messages seem enthusiastic. Have you ever received a message ending with a period and thought the sender was mad at you? Use exclamation marks to avoid misunderstandings. Just don’t overdo it, as it might come off as overly excited or insincere. For example, you could say:
- “You were amazing at the concert last night!! I couldn’t take my eyes off you!”
- “Oh my gosh!! I can’t believe you haven’t watched Toy Story! It’s a classic!”
End your messages on a cliffhanger.
If you end your message abruptly, he’ll want to reply to know more. When you have a funny or crazy story to share, don’t send it all in one long message. Hint at it without revealing the outcome to make him guess. He’ll definitely be curious about what happens next and ask you about it. You could text something like:
- “Oh my gosh, my boss did something unbelievable today. Let me tell you about it.”
- “The essay topic was so unexpected that I made up a bunch of stuff. You’d laugh so hard if you read it.”
- “I have a huge secret, but I’m not sure if I should tell you… 😉”
Say something flirty.
Make him so intrigued that he can’t resist replying to your messages. If you’ve been chatting for a while, don’t hesitate to add a playful tone to your texts. This way, he’ll know you’re interested in more than just friendship. Just avoid being too forward, as it might make him uncomfortable. Here are some examples you can try:
- “I’ve had a pretty rough day. But I know a few things you could do to make me feel better 😉😉”
- “Wish I could show you what I want to do with you right now…”
- “Just finished showering. Can you help me pick an outfit?”
Suggest meeting up.
Ask if he’d like to meet in person to deepen your connection. While texting is a great way to stay in touch, meeting face-to-face can help build a stronger bond. Suggest going out for coffee, a drink, or even a casual date. If meeting in person isn’t possible, you could propose a phone call or video chat. Here are a few examples:
- “Would you like to grab a drink with me tonight to continue this conversation?”
- “There are so many new movies on Netflix! Want to come over and watch one with me?”
- “I love chatting with you, but meeting up would be even better. Are you free this Friday night?”
Take breaks between messages.
Texting him nonstop might make you seem too available. No matter how much you enjoy talking to him, it’s good to pause between messages and replies. If you’re always texting, he might lose interest or feel a bit overwhelmed. Giving him some space will make him realize how much he misses you and encourage him to keep the conversation going.
Advice
- Maintain a positive attitude when texting him! This keeps the conversations lively and lighthearted, making him more likely to text you frequently.
- Don’t get discouraged if he sends short replies or takes a while to respond. He might just be busy or not have enough time to chat.
Warning
- Avoid sending inappropriate photos. Even if he asks, you have every right to refuse if you’re uncomfortable taking or sharing them.
