What are some powerful texts we can use to take our conversation offline? Many people do a great job of acquiring phone numbers and within a couple of weeks or so they\u2019ve completely blown it by either texting far too much or trying to have conversations over text that should have been had in person.<\/p>\n
Remember your goal here is to secure a real date. Texting is a fantastic addition to flirting, but it also comes with the risk of getting boring fast. As great as they are, you can’t get to know someone on a deeper level through emojis and memes.<\/p>\n
Rule Number 2: Know How to Approach Texting Your Crush<\/strong><\/h5>\nThe most effective way to text is to keep it short, sweet, and leading to action. Concise and upbeat keep your potential lover keen. Send them a cheeky suggestion about when the two, or three+ (whatever floats your boat), of you, are going to get together; or show your interest through a compliment for instance.<\/p>\n
There is no hard-and-fast rule for how often you should text your crush, but it’s best not reveal everything about yourself all in one go; allow time and space to create a sense of mystery and charm.<\/p>\n
Leaving gaps between interactions is powerful when it comes to building attraction. Too many people exhaust every scrap of conversation and then realize they have very little to talk about when it comes to the actual date. Eek!<\/p>\n
Rule Number 3: If You’ve Been Texting Your Crush For a While and No Date Has Been Planned, Understand This…<\/strong><\/h5>\nOccasionally, for whatever reason, you might fall into a pattern of consistently texting your crush and still, they make no attempt to actually see you in person. It can be hard to tell sometimes whether it\u2019s because they aren’t that keen, they’re simply seeing too many other people or they’re just genuinely busy.<\/p>\n
But all you need to do in this scenario is make sure you are getting what you deserve out of the situation. Assuming you want them to actually ask you out, we have outlined some texts below that help move things in the direction of a date. If they fail to take the bait at least you know it’s a great time to move on.<\/p>\n

\nHey [Name], sorry I missed your call earlier, I\u2019ve been helping [Insert Name] with their [Insert Activity], I definitely do with a nice glass of wine!<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\nThis text is great because it suggests that you’re an in-demand person with lots of interesting things going on. It also drops a hint where you want to be taken to. Now your crush has an opening and can choose whether or not to take it.<\/p>\n
It’s also perfectly discreet as you\u2019ve given your crush the chance to secure the date with you, but you haven’t asked them directly.<\/p>\n

You’re praising their looks, but also poking a little fun and injecting a touch of playfulness into the conversation. You\u2019ve set up the opportunity for teasing and flirtation and you were funny and cute whilst doing it.<\/p>\n
You can add the part at the end if you want to be more direct or just send the picture message with a caption. Now the ball is in their court to send something back, playfully tell you why you are mistaken or secure that date fast!<\/p>\n

Text Template 3 | Be Bold About What You Want<\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
\nHey, I was thinking about you today. Everything’s pretty full on at the moment, but I\u2019m around this evening, perhaps you could meet me for dinner? There’s a little restaurant I’ve been dying to go to round the corner.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\nYou\u2019ve set the terms and embedded your expectations whilst expressing that you still have a lot of other things going on in your life. This is an extremely attractive and high-value way to text your crush. Sometimes there is a lot of awkwardness and pressure when it comes to securing the first date.<\/p>\n
Your crush might be concerned that they might be coming across as too forward or weird if they try to push a date on you too soon. Remember: Your encouragement helps them feel confident in moving forward with you.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to be needy and say “take me out please” you just casually put it in at the end of the sentence like it’s a logical next step.<\/p>\n

\nIt\u2019s such a rare and sexy thing when people are more about meeting up face to face. It\u2019s so funny because everyone hides behind their phones and it immediately makes someone stand out when they can hold a proper conversation in real life. I don\u2019t get why people don\u2019t realize how powerful that is. It instantly makes them much more attractive.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\nOkay, this probably isn’t that subtle but if this doesn’t make your crush suddenly take charge, we don’t know what will.<\/p>\n

It also drops a hint where you want to be taken to. Now your crush has an opening and can choose whether or not to take it.<\/p>\n
It’s also perfectly discreet as you\u2019ve given your crush the chance to secure the date with you, but you haven’t asked them directly.<\/p>\n

Text Template 2 |\u00a0 Tease Them with a Backhanded Compliment<\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
\nI suppose you’re kinda hot and that but probably not as hot as this… [Attach picture message of something completely opposite to hot, or send something funny etc.]. <\/em>Perhaps I need to see the real thing up close and personal to decide?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\nPeople love compliments even if they’re slightly backhanded. You’re praising their looks, but also poking a little fun and injecting a touch of playfulness into the conversation. You\u2019ve set up the opportunity for teasing and flirtation and you were funny and cute whilst doing it.<\/p>\n
You can add the part at the end if you want to be more direct or just send the picture message with a caption. Now the ball is in their court to send something back, playfully tell you why you are mistaken or secure that date fast!<\/p>\n

Text Template 3 | Be Bold About What You Want<\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
\nHey, I was thinking about you today. Everything’s pretty full on at the moment, but I\u2019m around this evening, perhaps you could meet me for dinner? There’s a little restaurant I’ve been dying to go to round the corner.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\nYou\u2019ve set the terms and embedded your expectations whilst expressing that you still have a lot of other things going on in your life. This is an extremely attractive and high-value way to text your crush. Sometimes there is a lot of awkwardness and pressure when it comes to securing the first date.<\/p>\n
Your crush might be concerned that they might be coming across as too forward or weird if they try to push a date on you too soon. Remember: Your encouragement helps them feel confident in moving forward with you.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to be needy and say “take me out please” you just casually put it in at the end of the sentence like it’s a logical next step.<\/p>\n

Text Template 4 | Subtly Suggest What You Want<\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s such a rare and sexy thing when people are more about meeting up face to face. It\u2019s so funny because everyone hides behind their phones and it immediately makes someone stand out when they can hold a proper conversation in real life. I don\u2019t get why people don\u2019t realize how powerful that is. It instantly makes them much more attractive.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\nOkay, this probably isn’t that subtle but if this doesn’t make your crush suddenly take charge, we don’t know what will.<\/p>\n

\nAre you as charismatic in person as you are in Messenger\/ Instagram\/ WhatsApp?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n\nAre we destined to only have one of those antisocial texting-only relationships? I usually like to date in person…<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n\nI’m all texted out – when do we get to chat in the real world?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\nThe purpose of these messages is simple. They make a point that all the two (or three) of you do is text, and they provoke your crush to finally take charge and decide whether not they’re actually interested in meeting you in person.<\/p>\n
The purpose of these texts is to be upfront about you needing more from them than just low- commitment texts all the time or else you’ll just move on. They may be kind of blunt, but they’re perfect for drawing a line when the virtual conversions have become boring.<\/p>\n
