Alright, girl, let’s talk STRATEGY. You like him, but how do you make sure he’s thinking about you while brushing his teeth, scrolling through memes, or, better yet, when he’s about to fall asleep?
The answer: TEXTS. But not just any texts. We’re talking about the kind that make him pause, smile, and obsess over what you really mean.
So, if you want to hijack his brain (in the most adorable way possible), here are 9 text messages that will keep him hooked
1. The “I Just Saw Something That Reminded Me of You” Text
WARNING: This one is dangerously effective.
It plays into his ego and makes him feel special. A simple:
“Omg, I just saw [something random] and totally thought of you. ”
…will have him scrambling to decode why.
The key? Make it light and a little mysterious. He’ll be wondering, Wait, does she think about me often? (Yes, he will.)
2. The “Inside Joke Throwback” Text
Nothing builds a connection like an inside joke. Try:
“Remember when you totally embarrassed yourself at Starbucks? Still dying. ”
Now he’s not just thinking about you, he’s replaying that hilarious moment and reliving the fun vibe you two share.
3. The “Song Lyrics” Text
A well-placed lyric can work MAGIC. Send him something like:
“This song came on, and I swear it’s our vibe ”
Curiosity = activated. He’ll either:
- Google the lyrics and overanalyze them
- Ask you what the song is (and listen to it on repeat, thinking of you)
Either way, you’re in his head.
4. The “What Would You Do?” Text
Boys LOVE solving problems (even when they have no idea what they’re talking about).
Hit him with:
“Okay, serious question: If I was being chased by a pack of wild squirrels, what’s your survival plan for me? Go.”
It’s ridiculous. It’s unexpected. And it’ll make him laugh, while keeping the convo flowing.
5. The “Oops, Wrong Person!” Text
A little fake mistake? Harmless and genius. Send:
“Ugh, I can’t believe I dreamt about you last night. So weird. Omg, wait, wrong person!!”
He’ll KNOW it wasn’t a mistake, but he’ll also low-key love it.
6. The “I Bet You Can’t…” Text
Boys = competitive. Use this to your advantage.
Try:
“I bet you can’t guess what color I’m wearing right now.”
Cue playful banter and a chance to keep the convo rolling. Bonus points if you let him “win” by giving a flirty hint.
7. The “Casually Flirty Compliment” Text
Guys aren’t showered with compliments like girls are, so this one HITS.
“You know, I think you might be one of the funniest people I know. But don’t let it go to your head. ”
Now, he’s sitting there, grinning like a fool, replaying your words in his mind.
8. The “I Had a Dream About You” Text
This one? Instant mind game. Text:
“I had the WEIRDEST dream about you last night.”
The mystery will eat him alive.
And when he asks for details? Keep it vague or tease him:
“I don’t know if you’re ready for this information. ”
His curiosity = THROUGH THE ROOF.
9. The “Ghost and Return” Move
Text him something flirty, like:
“You’re kinda distracting. Not mad about it though. ”
And then? DISAPPEAR for a few hours.
Leave him hanging, wondering when you’ll text again. He’ll check his phone way more than he wants to admit.
