Introduce yourself and say why you’re texting, if you’ve never texted before. “Hey, this is Julie from econ. I’m having trouble with the homework and Zack said you might be able to help?” “Hey this is Jordan from camp :) I’m getting a head count for the reunion this weekend, was wondering if you were planning on coming?” Ask them casually about something you have in common, especially if you don’t know each other well yet. “Did you get the math homework for tonight?” “Hey, do you know who’s going to the football game tonight? I don’t wanna be the only one there haha” “Hey :) do you know the due date for the history project?” Tease or send a light joke. “OMG, your insta post. Your dog is so much cuter than you hahaha” “Good job on karaoke yesterday, you almost remembered the words by the end😂” Ask a fun question. “Do you happen to be hungry rn, because i’m starving and no one will go get a hamburger with me D:” “Have you seen the new Spiderman movie yet?? I heard it’s really good” Reference an inside joke, or something you’ve done together. “The ‘basketball lessons’ you gave me did not work, i just lost to my little sister in one on one🙈” “If we ever have another history class like today’s, you’re in charge of waking me up… that was so boring omg”
