5 Texting ideas that make you stand out

Here are some guidelines to ensure your conversations are as solid as possible.

Tattoo them on your forehead if you really need to remember them. 😉

1. Make it easy for them to reply. Guide the conversation with questions or comments that give them something clear to respond to. This keeps things flowing naturally and takes the pressure off them to create their own material.
2. Sprinkle in compliments. A thoughtful compliment here and there shows genuine interest without overdoing it. Keep it light—a little flattery goes a long way in building attraction.
3. Pace your messages. Avoid ‘text bombing’,’ especially if the replies aren’t reciprocated. Start with a steady back-and-forth to avoid coming across as needy and to keep the excitement alive.
4. Be an emoji minimalist. A few emojis can add fun, but overusing them—or using too many abbreviations like “hbu”—can come off as juvenile. Keeping things simple feels more mature and appealing.
5. Keep it playful. The goal of texting is to figure out if you have chemistry. Finding out what you have in common should be the focus of the date. For now, focus on having fun, playful banter.
6. Be interested, not bought in. Taking it slow gives you a chance to see if you click. Plus, when you express a healthy amount of interest, you become more attractive because it shows you’re independent.

If you understand these but need a little more clarity with some stunning examples, then continue on dear reader!

I won’t even judge if you copy paste them.

Step 1: Break the ice

Here’s how you start the conversation strong.

Break the ice using a good hook.

Your first message to them sets the tone of the convo, while also letting them know the purpose of your text.

Don’t just text “hey.” That’s boring and lazy.

Instead, try sending one of these fun texting ideas to get them immediately engaged.

1. Coffee or tea? You seem like the type who’d drink iced latte in the middle of a snowstorm.
2. On a scale from 1 to flipping the Monopoly board, how competitive are you?
3. Netflix binge time—what’s your go-to? I’m feeling some strong ‘The Office’ vibes.
4. If you could live in any fictional world, where’s it gonna be? I’m betting Hogwarts, maybe Ravenclaw?
5. So what grabbed your attention first—my face or my terrible spelling?
6. You look like the fun kind of trouble, like sneaking into a second movie after the first one.
7. On a scale of 1 to ‘Murica, how many guns did you fire after we matched?
8. Planning a penguin heist—need a getaway driver. You in?
9. I have to admit, I’m shocked you matched me. Didn’t expect you to vibe with dad jokes and bad puns.
10. Okay, I just had a donut and cuddled a puppy. Who’s winning at life today: me or you?
11. What’s the most random thing you’ve done on impulse? Need to know what I’m dealing with here.
12. Let’s skip the small talk and dive right into the flirting.
13. I see books, nerds rule. What’s your current book obsession right now?
14. What’s an appetizer people order that you think is highly overrated?
15. Let me know if work isn’t feeling that fun today. Happy to call in a bomb threat so you can get the day off and join me for shenanigans.

Now, these are all great messages to start the convo strong.

But where do you take it from here for the rest of the convo?

Step 2: Keep them interested

The conversation has started, so it’s time to keep the momentum going!

The goal here is to show off your personality and make them curious to learn more about you.

These are some general ideas, so feel free to adapt them to suit your own personality.

1. Playing some Hearthstone behbehhhhhhh. You ever play video games?
2. About to read a book while I sip on a lovely glass of wine. You?
3. About to watch a spooky Korean movie with my friends. If I don’t reply anymore, I’ve probably been eaten by a long-haired Asian girl.
4. What’s your go-to karaoke jam? No judgment… okay, maybe a little judgment.
5. Ever had a strange encounter with a celebrity? Do tell.
6. You’ve definitely got a go-to car jam. I’m guessing something like Dancing Queen?
7. I’m going to start cooking my famous pesto chicken alfredo fyi. The secret ingredient is love (a.k.a. Extra butter and cheese).
8. You give off “spontaneous” vibes, but I bet your schedule is color-coded down to the minute.
9. Tell me you don’t have a million tabs open right now—I can feel the chaos.
10. Being completely honest, I always need snacks when I’m watching a movie. They make it 10x better.
11. Guess what I’m doing? Hint: it involves a lot of sweaty people and some grunting and mirror selfies.
12. Random thought, as much as I love Reeses, I’d take chocolate over peanut butter if they ever divorced.
13. I’m about to go play tennis and call everyone “Love.” What are you up to?
14. You know what I realized? Not everyone likes to hug when you greet them. 🙁
15. I’d take folding laundry over doing the dishes ANY day. Wet food grosses me out.

Think of these as sending them a little slice of your life in a fun way.

Step 3: Build a deeper connection

It’s important to keep your conversations fun, but also remember to do this:

Build a deeper connection.

Although online conversations are typically light in nature, it’s important to go a little beyond the surface level.

Without it, they won’t feel connected to you and are unlikely to trust you. Here are some questions that hit the right mix of personal and fun:

1. If I could see your latest YouTube history, what would I see?
2. If I say top 5 movies of all time, what is the first one that comes to mind?
3. What’s your guilty pleasure TV show you pretend to hate?
4. You get to pick one person for a road trip. Who’s riding shotgun?
5. What’s your most ridiculous bucket list item?
6. What’s the last time you tried to learn something and failed miserably? Spill it.
7. What’s the dumbest way you’ve injured yourself?
8. What’s your most embarrassing gym failure?
9. What’s your go-to excuse when you want to get out of plans?
10. Let’s skip the bs. What’s something you wish more people knew about you.
11. Which family member are you closest with and why? Deep question I know.
12. What constitutes a perfect day for you?
13. If you could wake up tomorrow and gain one quality or ability, what would it be? And no, you can’t say “the perfect booty gain pump.”
14. I can probably guess, but what are your love languages?
15. We may disagree here, but what’s your opinion on surprises? Like, surprise parties or gifts?

Remember, even though these are deeper questions to build more of a connection, they’re still a bit playful and fun in a way.

Keep the trauma bonding for date #3. 😉

How to Create Deep Connections over Text and IRL

Step 4: Make them excited to meet you

Once they like you through your amazing texting, it’s important to show that you like them back.

This can be a compliment or something flirtatious.

And helps create anticipation and sets the stage for a potential date.

These lines accomplish that excitement factor, while still keeping things playful.

1. I feel like you’re already planning our first date. Should I clear my calendar?
2. I like to take things slow, so I’ve picked the names of just 5 out of our 12 kids.
3. So, are we more of a ‘win the lottery and travel the world’ couple, or a ‘steal a golf cart and escape the police’ duo?
4. You look like trouble. Good thing I’m not easily scared.
5. I don’t usually give away compliments so easily, but you have great taste in men.
6. What’s your ultimate Netflix-and-chill movie?
7. Boy, this could never work out. We’re like Chandler and Phoebe. Sorry, Chandler. 🙁
8. You were doing sooooo well until you said you liked (insert topic).
9. What are you getting for me on Valentine’s Day?
10. Can you stop flirting with me?
11. [When she’s sending you walls of text] You’re so falling for me! It’s cute.
12. These pictures you’re sending make me feel all hot and bothered.
13. How do you have the perfect mix of dorky and cute all the time? Teach me.
14. Is it too soon to get us matching slippers? Because there’s a sale at (clothing store). x.
15. Waking up to your good morning texts always brightens my day a bit more.

Once there’s a good vibe built and you can tell there’s mutual interest, it’s time to ask them out.

Here are some ways to do that in step 5.

Step 5: Suggest to meet up

When emotions are high, confidently suggest hanging out.

Keep it casual and fun, so it doesn’t feel like too much pressure.

Use these lines to ask them out in a fun, chill way, that makes them want to say “yes.”

1. Let’s go for some cocktails and watch the sunset.
2. I know this amazing duck pond, let’s see who’s bread they like the most.
3. I know the best place in town for caipirinhas. But I’m a bit of a lightweight, so you have to promise not to take advantage of me.
4. Let’s go to a flea market and find silly outfits for each other.
5. Ice cream this weekend? We can be gluttons and even get a triple scoop.
6. Want to join me for appetizers and wine tomorrow?
7. Been craving pizza lately from (pizza place). Want to help me satisfy my addiction tomorrow?
8. I’m throwing a party tomorrow and you and your multiple personalities should totally be there. 🙂
9. It’s Tuesday….so obviously we should be getting tacos right now.
10. Mark in your calendar that we’re getting ramen Thursday. Already spoke to your assistant about it and they said you’re free. 😉
11. Let’s grab a cup of tea this week and make sure neither one of us is a serial killer.
12. Is go-karting for a first date too extreme? Unless….you’re just afraid of losing hehe.
13. It’s supposed to be gorgeous out this Sunday. Picnic in the park?
14. Want to meet up and walk the seawall? And pet every dog that walks by?
15. If you’re as hungover as I am right now then we should probably get sushi and dive into a coma for the rest of the day after.
