If youâve initiated a conversation with a match and have exchanged a few friendly texts or maybe even gone on a date, and now youâre dreading that next phase of dating (the flirty textual exchange), then this article is for you. Flirty texts are a practiced artform, and itâs not easy to strike that balance between casual, flirty, and interested, vs. boring, overbearing, and desperate. Here are 8 creative ways to kick off a flirty text chat that donât just start with a âwydâ or âwhatâs upâ, ranging from playful and flirty to mushy and serious.
1. Truth or dare?
An oldie but a goodie â catch them by surprise with a classic truth or dare. Just make sure you have some good questions and dares lined up, because thereâs nothing worse than a last minute scramble to come up with a bold challenge if they surprise you by choosing dare.
2. Memes to the rescue
Sometimes you just need a solid meme streak to kick-off an interesting conversation. Being able to keep up with each otherâs memes means that you share a similar sense of humor, and the memes you choose to share with tell you a lot about each otherâs interests.
3. âSaw this and it reminded me of youâ
Let them know youâre thinking about them, and use it as a chance to reference something theyâve told you about them! It shows that you listen to what they have to say.
4. A good emoji is worth a thousand words
Spice up your conversations with a generous use of emojis! Without IRL cues to work with, emojis serve as little clues to help land the right tone with your texts. Plus itâs easy to make your texts seem flirtier without getting cheesy.
5. â
I wish last night didnât have to endâ
Throwback to your last hangout by talking about how you had a great time, complimenting them, or hinting at wanting to spend more time with them soon.
6. â
Being with you feels like homeâ
Donât be afraid to really let them know how you feel. Itâs always nice to know that someone likes you enough to straight up say it, with a little romance sprinkled in for flair of course.
7. â
I just got the best news and youâre the first person I wanted to tellâ
Translation: youâre important to me and I want to share all the important things in my life with you!
8. Cut to the chase and ask them out!
