Q&A for How to Flirt with a Guy over Text

If you want to be a little more flirty, try teasing the other person a little bit. Not so much that they'll be upset, but a little playful teasing can show that you're interested in them.

If you don’t want to go for obvious lines like “I can’t stop thinking about you” or “Hey, hot stuff,” you can still come off as flirty by sending subtle compliments or using humor. For example, say something like “You were awesome in theater class today!” You could also make him laugh by sending him a funny picture or link. When you chat, keep the tone friendly and upbeat by using exclamation points and emojis.

Most people like to talk about themselves, so asking questions is a good way to keep his interest. Keep the questions open-ended (i.e., without simple yes or no answers) to keep the conversation going. Also try to stick to topics you know he’s interested in. For example, you might say, “Hey, what did you think of that last episode of Stranger Things?”

If you want to make it obvious that you’re being flirty, try something fun, like, “Hey, cutie, do you miss me?” or “Guess what? I kind of like you.” You can also try a more straightforward approach, like, “I really enjoy spending time with you” or “I think you’re awesome.” You can also refer to the last time you spent time with him. Say something like, “You looked so great last night,” or “I had so much fun hanging out yesterday!”

A compliment is okay for any age! Say you like his smile or his favorite shirt.

You can't guarantee a boy will say yes. Whenever you ask someone out, there's always the possibility they will say no. However, if you've gotten to know the person and flirted with him, there's more of a chance he'll say yes.
