Aye, this will help you text that girls you like or even your girlfriend in middle school because the boys aren't the best texters. We'll continue!

  1. If she responds, keep talking.
  2. [1] She will jump to conclusions that she is annoying you and that you hate her, and that you don't like her right away. Some will anyway. Not all, so don't assume so.

  3. Take a minute or two then respond​
  4. [2] It makes girls feel like you actually care about what they are saying and have similar feelings.
  5. Try not to respond with just one word answers like "cool", "haha", or "lol"; it just shows that you don't care what they have just said, even if you really do. [3] Try responding with a question about what she just said to keep the conversation going.
  6. If it gets to the point where you are just saying "soooooo" then it might be better to ask a simple question like "how was your day?" or ask how her practice was. It shows you care and it keeps the conversation going, and shows her that you want to continue talking.
  7. She will love to hear it and will probably have something to tell you in return.
  8. You don't have to act all cool all the time. But don't be so random that you freak her out.
  9. Even if she starts it, try to get around it. It may sounds clichéd, but gossip is kind of messed up. You don't want to risk saying something that insults her or one of her friends.
  10. [4] Talk about your siblings or family. Talk about things you like or dislike, etc.
  11. Or "I'll brb I have to....." Never leave her hanging. [5]
  12. If she doesn't respond, just wait. She's probably busy with something.

    Expert Answer
    Do not give in to your urges or impulses. Consider the “why” behind the need, the desire, the craving, or the urge to text. Why now? Why are you feeling an urge or an impulse to text? One of the best ways to fight such an urge is to find something else to focus on. Do not combat this impulse or craving. Reengage in finding something else to occupy your mind, thoughts, and perceptions.
