Are you dating someone who won’t respond to your texts? Or maybe you’re in an argument, and you want to make up but don’t know how to start the conversation? Text messages can be very powerful, and there are so many ways they can be used effectively to win people over. In this article, we’ll explore several different scenarios and explain how you can use text messages to your advantage when communicating with others.
Break Out of Your Routine
One night, I was going through my usual texting routine when I ran into the same person. Zegbeg. Zegbeg. Zegbeg. Why is he always so mean? I asked myself, finally giving up and sending a short text that said bye. To my surprise, he replied back with I’m sorry. And it wasn’t just a simple ‘sorry’ either, but one with an explanation of why he was rude in the past and how his issues were still affecting him today. He seemed sincere enough for me to give him another chance and we ended up having a pretty deep conversation about our lives for a little bit before continuing on with our nights.
Pay Attention to Their Body Language
The most important thing you can pay attention to is their body language. If they’re sitting or standing, they may be open for conversation. If they look at you with a smile and slight nod of the head, it’s time for your opening line. It’s normal for someone to take a few minutes before replying back, but if they don’t reply at all, then it might be time to try again later.
Respond Quickly
When someone asks you out on a date and you say yes – be sure to respond quickly. It doesn’t matter what your response is, but it’s important that they know that you are interested in meeting up. This will give them more confidence and put them at ease.
The worst thing you can do is not respond at all because it makes people think that you’re not interested or don’t want to see them again. If it’s really hard for you to text back and forth as soon as they text, try setting up a time limit of five minutes so that your response is always within a reasonable time frame.
Show Some Emotion in Your Messages
The first thing you should know about sending a text message is that it’s very different from an email. It’s way more personal, and it can be done in seconds. Sending an email takes time and thought, but sending a text message doesn’t take much effort at all. That’s what makes them so perfect for flirting!
If you want to win them over with your phone, then here are some tips on what to say:
Keep Things Light
The texts that win them over are just as important as face-to-face contact. Here are a few tips on what to say and not say:
1) Avoid negative language. It’s easy to get caught up in a bad day, but try not to let those feelings come through in your texts. This will help you avoid being misunderstood or coming off as moody.
2) Keep it short! Nobody wants to read a novel on their phone so if you have something important or lengthy to share, save it for when you see them in person instead.
3) Use emojis!
Set Up for a Date ASAP
If you want a date, then make sure your text is memorable and show them that you’re interested.
Start by saying something like, Hey I noticed you were near me today and thought we should get together.
If they say they are busy, offer an alternative like I’m free tomorrow night. What’s your plan?
You can also try, My friend wants to set us up! or I think we should meet because I’m not feeling this online dating thing. If they still don’t answer back with a yes or no, send them another text with a question like, What are you doing this weekend? or You sound cool. What do you do for fun?
Let Them Know You’re Interested, but Not Pushy
It can be tricky to know when, how, and what to text your crush. It’s easy for someone who doesn’t know you very well to misinterpret a text message as romantic or flirtatious. And if you’re not careful, texting can become a time suck for both of you. Here are some dos and don’ts that will help you avoid those pitfalls:
-Don’t make a habit out of sending more than one text per day
-Do send short texts such as What are you doing tonight? or I’m at work right now that show your interest but don’t require an elaborate response
-Do ask them questions about themselves, their interests, their plans for the weekend/holidays/etc.
