Get ready to make your crush more interested and entertained through your texts. Let’s dive in and master the art of flirtatious texting!
It’s quite simple to do it if you follow these tips and these unique text messages:
1. Let him get a glimpse of who you are
While you flirt to some extent before the first date then you trigger him.
It’s like a boost that helps you to know him better and to understand how he will react during the first date.
It’s true that through texting someone can act differently from what he is in person.
Hence, the energy that comes from him over text can let you know a lot about him.
At some point, you will know what to expect.
- You can let him know about any specific trait that you don’t want to come out weird during your date.
“Be ready. You’ll bet that I will order a pizza and a sandwich at the same time.”
“I think that you will be amazed by the speed I finish a bowl of pasta.”
2. Be mysterious and flirty simultaneously
Flirting over text doesn’t mean that you need to be an open book before the first date.
It’s important to be vulnerable but oversharing might penalize you later on the first date.
You don’t need to be sharing too much because then you will be left with nothing to talk about when you meet.
Let him be attracted to you, open the way for him.
You can give him hints that you like him but still keep some things to yourself.
- You can inform him about your hobbies and your likes and dislikes. Still, you can spare some info to tell him when you need it.
To be more clear, you need to surprise him because otherwise, the conversation will be boring.
“Omg, I love camping but if you wanna see my survival skills then let’s try it in person.”
3. Try to avoid sexting
Flirting is good before the first date but what would make it awkward is sexting.
Especially, if you don’t know one another in real life.
That will give him the wrong impression because he might think that you’re just looking to hook up.
Indeed, you can be flirty just by teasing him with words and making him crave you more without sexualizing it.
You want to communicate with him as much as you can but not make it look awkward or put too much pressure on him.
Hence, nowadays using dating apps flirting can turn easily into sexting.
It depends on you what type of dating you’re doing.
Yet, if you use sexting too much before the first date will make him not take you seriously.
You can text something like:
“It looks like that smile of yours can brighten everybody’s day.”
“With that body of yours, I would run up to ten mountains.”
4. Compliment him and appreciate his effort
If you don’t know what to text before the first date, try complimenting him.
It helps you both to flirt and build some type of emotional connection.
Let’s be real, everybody loves compliments especially when they’re honest.
- So, instead of complimenting him on his physical features and sexualizing him, try to do it the other way.
- You can compliment him on what he says because you haven’t met him yet in person to compliment him on his personality.
For example, try to compliment how you appreciate his perspective about something in particular.
“I really like the way you think about the current condition in our state.”
The way you choose to compliment him depends on how the conversation is developing and on your topic.
5. Send something funny
Trust me, funny is the new sexy.
Indeed, if you are funny and flirty then you will give him a brief description of who you are.
This will attract him more than just being overly sexy or constantly using sexting.
Try to send him some type of meme or some brief jokes that both of you will understand.
If you want to get a grip on this situation, then you should create an inside joke.
This will increase the chances to have more things to talk about on the first date and get closer.
- Avoid sending memes about first dates or dating in general. Try more flirty ones.
6. Make him curious about you
Creating scarcity and suspense will be the perfect way to flirt over texting before the first date.
Make him guess about you. Yes, in the meantime you can tell him things about yourself but you can leave some space for him to wonder.
The psychology behind oversharing lies in past trauma.
If you have had a hard childhood or toxic relationships then you tend to overshare.
I can understand that’s not easy to overcome it in a second, but you should start somewhere.
If you want to let him know that you like the color red or dress in a sophisticated way, you can do this:
- “Let’s take a guess of what would I be wearing the next time we meet?”
- “Do you know what I will do as soon as we get together?”
To know exactly how to overcome oversharing try to contact a relationship specialist or any therapist.
You will go digging deep to find the root of this issue.
7. Reminisce on something that you’ve talked about earlier
What can help your flirting game before the first date is to connect more emotionally.
That’s the key to keeping things balanced before meeting in person.
Let’s say that you have talked about eating Ben and Jerry’s ice cream weeks before then use it as an example.
- “Do you remember how we talked about the new flavor of Ben and Jerry’s weeks ago? I just tried it and it’s amazing.”
- “Guess what? I just tried that pineapple pizza place that you recommended to me. That place is 10 out of 10.”
8. Don’t build up fake expectations
Texts to send before the first date should be based on how you feel about him at that moment.
Ask yourself whether he is making you feel this way or the version of him that you created in your head.
It’s hard to distinguish, particularly if you haven’t met him before because you don’t know how he acts in person.
It is very easy to create a fake version of him or romanticize him while texting because that’s the power of texting.
It allows access to him but not full access.
A clinical psychologist, Selena C. Snow claims that having false expectations is really damaging.
You are expecting one thing and then when you meet might give you a different vibe.
That’s why flirting before the first date should be done within some borders and be real.
9. You can tease him just to get a glimpse of his humor
Teasing a person might let you know a lot about that person.
You’ll get to know how he reacts and how he will be able to manage the situation or how he will take a compliment.
Let’s say that you say to him “I bet you look better in person” or “Imma bet 100 bucks that I will look sexier than you. Wanna compete?
Just try to be subtle with your words and challenge him to some extent.
This will keep high the adrenaline until you meet on the first date.
10. Keep your texting balanced
I know that is hard to know how long to be flirtatious until you have the first date but try to keep it balanced.
You can set some type of plan to just check up on him and behave the same as you did until now.
- Don’t try to text daily or disappear for that period. Being too clingy or using radio silence before the first date it’s never a good idea.
- If you constantly flirt and use sweet and funny jokes every day, you will lovebomb him and nobody wants it.
It’s okay to be cool, sweet, compassionate, and sexy ver text before the first date but try to not do it excessively.
11. Keep looking forward to the date
One of the texts that you should send before the first date should be the one to keep the communication going.
This text shouldn’t make you look like you’re desperate and your world revolves around him.
Just show appreciation and let him know that you’re looking forward to this date.
- This text message should be sent just a few days before the date.
- Let him breathe and give him space to reflect on what he will expect from you in the future.
This flirty text before the first date might be a voice note if you feel more comfortable doing it.
It will be more sensual and you will make him crave more of what’s next.
12. Mirror his behavior
If you’re considering using flirty texting before the first date, it mirrors his behavior. This allows me to find the right balance in my texting style.
When I don’t know the person well, it’s wise to establish a connection beforehand. I can playfully tease and be flirtatious to gauge his interest, but I should match his level of engagement.
It’s worth noting that some guys might not excel in flirting, but if he consistently ignores my texts or shows little effort, it’s a sign that he may not be very interested.
Constantly flirting over text while he rarely reciprocates puts him on a pedestal. This dynamic can greatly influence his behavior during the first date.
If he perceives that I’m more invested in him than he is in me, he may believe he has the upper hand in manipulating my emotions.
Of course, this varies depending on his personality, but to increase my chances of success, I need to master the art of flirtatious texting.
