Genius tips on responding to an “I want you” text!
If you’re wanting to craft your response to an I want you text, then you’ve got some things to consider.
Here’s how you respond to an I want you text in style!
A playful and cute approach that will bring a smile to his face!
If you want a more light-hearted and not as straightforward approach to his text, then consider responding in a playful and frisky way.
This is good for when you’re a bit shy to just blurt out the words “I want you too.”
Respond playfully by not taking it too seriously.
Don’t hesitate to use emojis here and there to lighten the mood and add that subtle hint of playfulness!
Tease and seduce him at the same time. Ask for more details and use humor to your advantage to get him all riled up.
Be bold and daring: make him raise his eyebrow.
A study on men’s views reveals that men do in fact prefer assertive women.
Not only that but the fact that he already told you that he wants you is pretty much a green light.
Now I’m not saying overdo it, however, being bold will be effective in this case.
Tell him you want him to and that you don’t mind taking action: be confident and straightforward.
Something like “So, are we going to do anything about it?” can do the work in ways you don’t even expect!
Be seductive and compliment him.
If he texted you that he wants you, then that means that he’s attracted to you and filled with desire for you.
How about we intensify his already-existing feelings?
Respond to him in a seductive and alluring way: show just how much you reciprocate his feelings!
Imply that you’re into him as well and subtly compliment him by hinting at how irresistible he is: “I’m all yours, so come and get me.”
Tell him just how hot and bothered he makes you feel and how you can’t refuse his offer.
Use those sincere and sweet replies to show him the mutual feeling.
Sometimes all you need to do is be genuine: it truly is the best way!
Text him back telling him how you feel about him and that the feeling is mutual.
Don’t be afraid to speak your mind and heart: be charming by being yourself.
You can tell him “I feel the same way about you,” or “I want you too, [his name].”
Being told “I want you” by someone you like can be nerve-wracking, and even more nerve-wracking is not knowing what to do or say.
Being sincere is an option, arguably the best one!
Don’t hesitate to ask him about what he means.
Telling someone you want them is no small deal, it’s quite a risky thing to do, so it’s only natural that the other person would want some more clarification.
Ask him about what he meant when he said that.
Is he serious and has he given it a long thought?
Or is he just messing around, in which case, you need to tell him the weight of his words?
Normally, you might want to further question his intentions and how they might impact your relationship—especially if you two aren’t in one.
Make sure he’s being serious and not just trying to push your buttons: clear up any misunderstandings.
Don’t feel obligated to give him a positive answer.
When a man says that he wants you, chances are he means he’s sexually attracted to you.
That can be unnerving coming from someone whom you’re not romantically involved with.
Don’t feel pressured into telling him “yes”.
You don’t owe him anything and he has no right to be making you feel uncomfortable.
Although by now it should be known how not to make another person feel uncomfortable, some people can be clueless.
There’s a chance he might not know he’s bothering you and you should be straightforward about it.
Communicate your boundaries and don’t compromise your comfort.
If you’ve been told “I want you” by someone you have no special feelings toward (e.g. a friend, co-worker, classmate, acquaintance, etc) that can be very uneasy and awkward.
We can’t exactly ignore people that are already a part of our lives the same way we would a random stranger.
However, this doesn’t give them the right to pressure you and make you feel uncomfortable.
- Tell him that he’s making you feel uncomfortable;
- Express that your feelings toward him aren’t sexual/romantic;
- Ask him to stop himself from saying things like that ever again;
- If necessary, cut all contact with him.
Your boundaries are what you’re comfortable and okay with, do not allow anybody to come between you and your comfort.
Set boundaries that you think fit in a situation like this.
How to turn a guy down after he says “I want you”?
It’s normal to feel awkward after a guy you aren’t involved with expresses his craving for you.
Rejecting someone is, in general, really hard and everybody reacts differently to rejection, however, you must always prioritize your happiness.
In situations where you’re thinking of turning somebody down, it’s important to keep in mind that you should:
- Be honest and straightforward about the way you feel;
- Not sugarcoat things to cater to him;
- Not lead him on;
- Avoid giving him false hopes with no actual intentions.
Here are a few examples to demonstrate how you can respond to an “I want you” text when you’re not feeling the same about the other person:
1. “I am flattered that you think that way about me, however, I am not interested in pursuing a sexual relationship with you.”
2. “As flattered as I am that you find me attractive, my feelings and intentions toward you are purely platonic.”
3. “I feel uncomfortable with you talking to me that way and I would appreciate it if you stopped.”
4. “I’m feeling a little uncomfortable knowing that you view me that way. As flattered as I am, I’m going to have to reject your advances because I do not feel the same way.”
5. “I don’t believe we’re compatible in that aspect. I only see you as a friend.”
6. “I don’t see myself pursuing a deeper relationship with you than what we have right now. I am flattered, but I can’t accept your offer.”
7. “Wow, I never knew that and I appreciate you telling me that but I cannot accept your feelings as I don’t view you as more than a friend.”
8. “I have a partner/I’m already interested in somebody else and they are my priority right now. I don’t see you that way.”
9. “I respect your feelings, however, I do not reciprocate them and I would appreciate it if you respect mine as well by not bringing this up again.”
10. “My feelings toward you aren’t romantic/sexual, so I can’t accept your advances. I hope you’re able to understand that.”
You can try being considerate and understanding, however, there’s no need to apologize for prioritizing yourself and your feelings—you didn’t do anything wrong.
If anything, regardless of his reaction, you’re being the bigger person by being honest and fair with him instead of leading him on.
You do you!
Oh, the excitement of getting an “I want you” text!
Regardless of what your reaction and decision will be, make sure it resonates with your soul.
The most important thing is being happy with your decisions and what opportunities you decide to pass on.
So, responding to an “I want you” text won’t be difficult as long as you stay true to yourself!
You do you!
Sincerely,
Callisto.
