Okay, let’s be real—texting can make or break a connection. If you’re tired of sending dry “Hey” messages and getting nothing but crickets in return, it might be time to switch up your game.

I found this article with some solid ideas on how to text in a way that actually gets a guy thinking about you (and not just replying out of boredom): Texts to Make Him Want You

A few takeaways:

Be playful, but not too available.

Tease him—just enough to keep him curious.

Drop a little compliment with a twist. Like: "You’d probably look hot even in a hoodie and messy hair." (Instant visual. Instant interest.)

Anyone tried this kind of flirty texting strategy before? Did it work? Or did it backfire?

Let’s swap stories.

Totally agree with you—texting really does set the tone early on. I’ve tried the playful + teasing combo and honestly, it works way better than overthinking or sending generic stuff. That little compliment with a twist? Gold. I also think knowing your own vibe makes a difference—like, what kind of energy are you actually putting out? For me, doing a bit of self-check through things like sexuality tests has helped a lot. They give insight into what kind of connection you're actually craving. This article has good pointers too: https://flirtingcrush.com/texts-to-make ... t-you.html. Anyone else try these flirty strategies with success?
