  1. She’ll appreciate that you like both her beauty and personality. There’s a lot of comments she’s probably heard before, so make one up that’s totally new. When you point out all her great qualities, be specific. She’ll love all your attention. [1]
    • “I always get lost in your eyes. Every time I look into them, I feel like I’m going on a journey that’s going to change me. 🗺️”
    • “I love hearing you speak. Every word is like music to me. 🎶 Can you send a voice memo?”

Ask a curious question.

  1. Text her some questions that tackle big topics, like her values and dreams. Start off with funny subjects, then move onto more emotional ones over time — obviously, it really depends on where you are in the courting stage. Early on, texting funny things first is a great way to really break the ice and slowly build up into more emotional things. If she’s really responsive and vulnerable right away, though, you can ask more personal questions. You’ll be able to interview her on the regular and really get to know her. [2]
    • “Who are three famous people you’d bring to dinner? What would you serve up? 🍽️”
    • “What are you most grateful for?”
    • “How would you describe your childhood?”
    • If you've already been on a few dates, it's usually a good idea to touch on subjects that you talked about during the date, especially things that you saw she enjoyed talking about or her passion points.

    • “Wow. Your school schedule does sound intense. It sounds like you love your program and your teachers are great, though!”
    • “It can be exhausting to travel during the holidays, for sure. But you’ll get a lot of time to catch up with your family!
    • “Yeah, it can be hard to focus when your room’s disorganized. I bet a bookshelf will help a lot. You can get everything off the floor! 📚”

Tell her a joke.

  1. Crack a joke and see if she’s super enthusiastic. A laugh emoji or any other text that proves she digs your sense of humor also probably means she’s just into you in general. Start off with some jokes you feel really confident about, then experiment with memes and gifs that are pretty ridiculous. The more often she warms up to your silly texts, the more likely it is that she’s caught feelings. [4]
    • If she replies with a lot of emojis, she’s really excited. For example, if she hits you with this: “🤣🤣🤣”, then she wants to give lots of encouragement.
    • If you send a weird meme and she sends back an equally odd one, then she wants to relate and bond with you.
    • If you two are texting back with one gif after the other, then it’s a sign that she wants to put a lot of effort into the conversation and keep it funny.

She’ll realize she’s suddenly closer to you and want to give you all her affection. [5]
    • Start off with an attention-grabbing opener: “😲 So, I was standing by the bus stop, and a man on a unicycle came speeding over…”
    • Include details that connect to some of the five senses: “... the campfire and the pine trees smelled amazing, and the stars were unlike anything you’d see in the city…”
    • Focus on your emotions and she’ll feel really sensitive. For example, you can say, “I was raised to be really tough, and I never got to talk about how nervous I can get.”

      Tips

      • One of the best ways to help someone open up with you emotionally is to create an environment of vulnerability by sharing your own emotions. It can be hard to strike a balance between showing your emotions and making things awkward, so try to talk about your emotions without dwelling on the negatives, but really focusing on the lessons learned or on how your emotions are helping you get to wherever you want to go in life.
