What Does It Mean When You Dream About Someone
Starting and maintaining a successful conversation with a crush could be an intimidating task. There are those who start and breeze into conversations with ease. For others starting and maintaining a conversation with the opposite sex is an uphill task. You might even get stomach indigestion. Your intestines tie up in a knot. You get a headache. Fear not – you are not alone.
So, where do you start? What do you say to this new person you met online, on social media, or on a dating app? How do you make the first contact to start flirting over texts?
You might be lucky to have prior knowledge of the other person’s background, hobbies, likes, dislikes, and what they do for a living. In most cases, however, you don’t. And that is where starting and keeping a conversation going gets complicated. In the absence of a quick-fix-it solution to the challenge, you need some expert opinions to stay on top of the dating game. Let’s take a look at 5 tips and 50 cool flirty texts to use on the go without being creepy.
This is how you show your intentions and flirt over text.
1. Show you’re interested
Body language will give you away even if you have difficulty expressing that you are into the other person. Unless the other person is blind and stone-cold deaf, showing and expressing affection is the first step towards keeping a conversation going. But what if you don’t have the chance of face-to-face contact?
You can’t rely on your body language and eye contact over text but you still have your words and those playful emojis.
- I have a stomach full of butterflies thinking about meeting you for the first time.
- How am I supposed to work when I can’t stop worrying about you? You must be breathless after running through my mind all day.😷😷😷
2. Use your imagination
With all the talking and chatting going on around, it’s a real challenge to be original nowadays, especially when texting. So, your fruitful effort will be appreciated even higher. Reaching out for your mobile to text your crush, remember to pique their interest and curiosity by saying something unique instead of the flirting cliches. This increases your chances to hit your target and hear the exciting incoming notification.
Laughter is a key to most people’s hearts, so you might use it, too. Give it a go with a short humorous comment.
- Hey, I can’t find my phone. Can you call me, so I can try to track it down?
3. Ask the right open questions
A Yes-No question is a kill-joy statement in a conversation. Ask open-ended questions to generate steam in keeping the conversation going. For example, ask, “Tell me about you,” instead of “How are you?” Debra Fine in her book Fine Art of Small Talk, argues that open-ended questions require more than the one-word answer yes or no.
You are lucky if your crush includes “I am,” before “fine,” in response to your question “How are you?” Why? Simply because open-ended questions seek explanation and clarification, and open a space for a lengthy conversation.

4. Keep it small and sweet
Let’s face it. Your attempt to make small talk in a conversation might fall flat on its face, before you’ve even started flirting with a crush over text, not to mention making it to a romantic relationship.
The inability to start and maintain a conversation is not a sign of worse things to come in the process of establishing a relationship. A number of factors steamroll the challenge of making small talk. You are tempted to cut the other person off mid-sentence. You’d better not. You might end up, “getting too personal before the other person is comfortable with you,” cautions Christopher Gottschalk, author of How to Start and Make a Conversation. So, just go with the flow and try no to go too strong.

5. Stay focused
