Aye, this will help you text that girls you like or even your girlfriend in middle school because the boys aren't the best texters. We'll continue!
Steps
-
1Get her number and just say hey to start the conversation. If she responds, keep talking.
-
2When she texts you back, don't take forever to respond.[1] She will jump to conclusions that she is annoying you and that you hate her, and that you don't like her right away. Some will anyway. Not all, so don't assume so.Advertisement
-
3If she texts you first, Don't take to long to respond but don't respond right away that will make you seem needy. Take a minute or two then respond
-
4Use lots of emojis.[2] It makes girls feel like you actually care about what they are saying and have similar feelings.
-
5Try not to respond with just one word answers like "cool", "haha", or "lol"; it just shows that you don't care what they have just said, even if you really do.[3] Try responding with a question about what she just said to keep the conversation going.
-
6If it gets to the point where you are just saying "soooooo" then it might be better to ask a simple question like "how was your day?" or ask how her practice was. It shows you care and it keeps the conversation going, and shows her that you want to continue talking.
-
7Use her name when you are talking about something serious, or saying good night.
-
8Tell a funny story about what happened to you that day. She will love to hear it and will probably have something to tell you in return.
-
9Be random and funny. You don't have to act all cool all the time. But don't be so random that you freak her out.
-
10DO NOT gossip with her about other girls. Even if she starts it, try to get around it. It may sounds clichéd, but gossip is kind of messed up. You don't want to risk saying something that insults her or one of her friends.
-
11Find things in common.[4] Talk about your siblings or family. Talk about things you like or dislike, etc.
-
12FaceTime or Skype every now and then, if you wish.
-
13If you ever have to go say, "Hey, I gotta go.... Or "I'll brb I have to....." Never leave her hanging.[5]
-
14If it's nighttime, tell her "Goodnight" (don't forget to use her name).
-
15Be patient. If she doesn't respond, just wait. She's probably busy with something.
