Eager but impatient, your Aries will appreciate a speedy response to texts. Don't worry if you get busy and miss a message here or there, but do your best to reply when you can. He gets bored quickly, so if you ignore an Aries guy, then you risk losing his attention. Show the same level of enthusiasm that he'll no doubt have, and he will be yours in no time!

Aries has a clever sense of humor, so send jokes that tickle his funny bone. He'll appreciate everything from amusing quips and puns to hilarious videos you find on the internet. Keep him laughing and show him that a sense of humor is something the two of you have in common. He wants a partner who can laugh loudly and easily, just like him.

Compliments make these guys feel great since they tend to have big egos. Expert psychic astrologer Stina Garbis explains that "Compliments starting with 'you are' work best with Aries, like 'You are so strong', 'You are so great', 'You are amazing'; say these things and you will be heading in the right direction." So, it's a good idea then to give him frequent self-esteem boosts by texting these sorts of compliments. It doesn't matter how you flatter him—only that you do! Always be genuine when speaking about Aries men, so they trust your words. ^{[2]

He's driven and enthusiastic, so he wants to see that side of you too. According to psychic astrologer Stina Garbis, "An Aries man loves to channel his energy in creative or competitive pursuits, like acting, singing, theater, public speaking, social media, sport" and "he'll want to know you have complementary passions too." Show your Aries man that you're truly passionate about something, whether it's your career, a hobby, or a personal goal. He'll love hearing about your interests because it shows him that you're independent, and he'll want both of you to maintain your autonomy in a relationship.

Show compassion to your emotionally volatile Aries. Make an effort to understand and acknowledge his emotions because his mood can shift dramatically when something bothers him. Encourage him to let you know when something bothers him and listen to his feelings. Open up to him as well, and show him that you're comfortable expressing yourself emotionally. ^{[3]

Flirting comes easily to the bold and confident Aries. Some signs prefer to be more subtle or reserved, but when it comes to flirting, Aries will want to dive right in and say what he's thinking. Be a little daring with your flirts, and don't hold back. He'll love seeing your passion, playfulness, and confidence when you flirt with him.
- "If you wanna skip the small talk and get right to flirting, I'd be into that. 😜"

Aries is ruled by the head and face, so he's drawn to facial features. Show off your good looks and text him a favorite selfie, or snap a new selfie when you're in the middle of doing something fun and adventurous. The more he wants to see your face, the more he likes you! ^{[4]

Despite his temperamental nature, Aries' default is cheerful optimism. Therefore, he prefers to surround himself with equally cheerful people. Too much negativity is a big turn-off for him, so keep an optimistic and easygoing attitude when you text him. Send your Aries texts that brighten his day and make him smile so that he'll be eager to keep texting you.
- "Have a great day, handsome! Thinking of you. 😘"
- "Good morning! ☀️ Can't wait to see you tonight. I always have fun when we're together!"

Straightforward Aries appreciates texts that have a clear purpose. He isn't going to spend time texting if there's no point in the conversation. A simple "Hey" or "What's up" probably won't grab his attention, but a text with a more specific intent will. ^{[5]
