Q&A for How to Text a Guy You Like

It sounds like he's definitely interested! When he sends just an emoji, it might mean he's just not sure what to say—and he might be nervous, too. You can respond with something like, "I know, I'm soo funny (hairflip emoji)," or, "I'm waiting for you to say something to make me laugh that hard..." Keep your tone light and playful and wait for him to make the next move.

If you're going to see him in real life soon, just stat a conversation and see if he mentions the text. If you don't see him very often, wait at least a few days before trying again. Come up with a reason to text him, like "Do you have the homework assignment?" If he still ignores you, bring it up in person or just forget about it.

He could be anything. He may be excited because he thinks you will ask him out or nervous for the same reason. You have to use your own knowledge from knowing the guy. It's best to just not be nervous. Try to go with the flow and be yourself.

Now's the time to make a joke about something you have in common, something in the news, or something funny going on in your life. You could say something as normal as, "omg, you'll never believe what happened to me today... I got up when my alarm went off (shocked emoji)". Ask him what's up with him, give him a funny challenge ("I bet you can't go the whole day tomorrow without laughing"), or send him a random, funny meme.

This probably means he thought you were cute and wanted to get to know you better. If you're interested, you could text him something simple like "Hey, this is (your name)... what's going on with you?" You could also get more playful and say something like, "You have 3 chances to guess who this is.... GO".
