If you’re a little shy when it comes to flirting, it’s totally okay to go slow and stick to a more subtle approach. Similarly, pick up on his vibes to get a feel for what he’s into. If he goes quiet after you poke fun at him, he might not be into that, but if he laughs really hard, you can keep teasing him that way.
“Hey. . . ;)” “I can’t wait to see you. . . " “I keep thinking about you 😉” “You are 🔥🔥😍”
For instance, you might say, “Hi sexy pants!” Try coming up with a nickname that calls back to an inside joke between the two of you, like “Old lady slayer” if he told you he always gets hit on by cute little old ladies at the grocery store. Or, give him a nickname to tease him about something he did, like calling him “James Bond” because of his skill tracking down your number.
“Who said I want to see you?” “You’ll have to work harder than that to get a date from me!” “I mean, I guess I can make a few minutes to talk to you. . . " “Everybody knows you think I’m cute!”
A good guy will love knowing you’re out there being your best self instead of sitting by the phone waiting for his text—even if he secretly can’t wait to hear from you again.
“Oh come on, you can’t pass a mirror without checking yourself out. " “I’ll see you for dinner. I bet you’re planning to wear that purple shirt again—you pick it every time we go downtown!” “Will you and your Dodgers hat be at the party tomorrow?”
For instance, if he says, “I can’t, I have a game Saturday,” you might say, “I have a game Saturday :)” If he says “I like your smile” you could say, “I like YOUR smile!”
“You’re the best listener. " “I can tell you’ve been hitting the gym extra hard lately. Your abs look amazing!” “Ugh that shirt looks so good on you!” “I love your arms. You’re so strong!”
“I wish you were here to make me feel better. " “I had the toughest workout. I wish you could come give me a massage. " “Ugh work was so stressful. I really need a hug. " “I need some cuddles to get my mind off of things!” “I’m so bored. . . I bet you could entertain me, though. "
Add a little detail if needed, like “This one with knee-high boots” or “This shirt with an extra button undone. " If you’re heading to the pool or beach, send him a snap of your bathing suit! Get a little extra daring by including the undies you plan to wear with the outfit. Or, maybe mention that you aren’t going to wear any at all!
If you’re bringing him a snack, try teasing something like, “It’s something tasty!” If it’s something you’ll be wearing, you might send him a close-up picture of one lacy detail or a single strap. If your surprise is something you want to do to him, you might simply hint, “🤐😉🔥”
“Wondering what you would do if you were here. . . " “How great you looked in that shirt last night” “Just remembering that time we were in the hot tub. . . " “That I’d really like to be kissing you right now”
Try saying something like, “I just took a shower and now I can’t decide what to wear!” Or you could say, “Sorry I didn’t answer right away. I was in the shower. " To really step up the teasing, send him a picture of yourself wrapped in a towel before you get dressed.
Try saying, “We were on a beach and there were these people in boat costumes dancing on the sand. You looked super cute in those board shorts though. " You could also say, “It was so sweet. We were in this market and you were holding my hand the whole time, then you kissed me. " Or you might say, “Well, I’ll just say it was really memorable. . . "
Anything that airs on HBO is probably a pretty good start. Or, quote some sexy song lyrics—then say something like, “I love this song!"[17] X Research source
