Texting is a fantastic way to connect with a guy that you're into, especially if you're nervous about talking in person. Sure, you can text whenever you want, but there are some key guidelines to follow so you don't overwhelm him or look desperate. Check out the following texting tips so you communicate with confidence.
Things You Should Know
- Text him when you genuinely have something to ask or share. Avoid simply texting "hey".
- Text him sparingly. Give him a chance to respond to your texts, and don't text him immediately after you've seen him.

A lot of times, guys won't see the signs you're putting out when you try to make the first move. Instead of playing hard to get and just saying "No, I'm not interested," up the stakes by saying something like "Do you really think you can win me over with that cute smile and charm? You'll need to do better than that."
