How to text someone you like without overthinking it
Good texting is mostly about energy: match theirs, keep it light and make it easy to reply.
-
Match their length
If they send one line, don’t send a paragraph back.
-
Ask, don’t just answer
End with a question or a hook so the chat keeps moving.
-
Make a specific plan
Suggest a day and an idea — it is easier to say yes to.
-
Don’t chase
If they have not replied, one light follow-up is plenty.
-
Read it once out loud
If it sounds anxious or long when you say it, trim it.
