Flirtexting.\u00a0At some point you\u2019re going to have to do it, but if you don\u2019t know where to start or what to say, here are some pointers for tapping out a teasing text that\u2019s sure to get his attention.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve been dating someone for a while and are comfortable enough to talk about new positions over brunch, you can\u00a0send him X-rated stuff. But if you\u2019ve been dating for less than a month, it\u2019s best to keep it PG-13. The point of these texts is to tease \u2014 you want him to snap that phone shut with a little spring in his step because you\u2019re starting to be more forward about your interest and attraction. The point is to be fun and outgoing, and leave him wanting more.<\/p>\n

DO start simple.<\/strong>\u00a0If you haven\u2019t talked in a few days and you\u2019re ready to get a conversation going, a simple \u201cHi :-)\u201d lets him know you\u2019re thinking of him and are ready to flirtext. DON\u2019T say, \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d That comes across as though you\u2019re stalking him or accusing him of something.<\/p>\n

If you want to plant a sexy seed that can bloom at your date later,\u00a0DO let him in on the sweet way you\u2019re spending your afternoon<\/strong>. \u201cJust doing a little shopping at Victoria\u2019s Secret!\u201d or \u201cAbout to relax with a glass of wine in the tub.\u201d Anything that gives him the idea that you\u2019re doing something sensual is a good idea. DON\u2019T overshare. He doesn\u2019t need to know you\u2019re naked or pleasuring yourself.<\/p>\n

DON\u2019T underestimate the power of your camera phone!<\/strong>\u00a0But leave a little something to be desired. DO try a \u201cWhat do you think of my new skirt?\u201d text that shows your skirt from a sexy angle that reveals as much as it conceals. DON\u2019T do this if you haven\u2019t been dating for very long.<\/p>\n

DO flirt by being indirect.<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re stuck at a lame work event, make a joke that lets him know you\u2019re thinking of him. \u201cAll this super interesting talk of upcoming projects and outreach almost makes me miss you less.\u201d<\/p>\n

If he\u2019s leading the conversation,\u00a0DO ask questions<\/strong>. \u201cOh yeah??\u201d \u201cHow come?\u201d \u201cWhy\u2019s that?\u201d He might be trying to flirtext you; questions will give him the green light.<\/p>\n

DON\u2019T use 2 many abbreviations<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s hard to find a text sexy if it\u2019s heavy on the symbols, numbers, and shorthand. \u201cWant 2 do u\u201d is trashy. \u201cI want you tonight\u201d is hot. DO use emoticons to keep it from sounding like an old-fashioned romance novel.<\/p>\n

DO make flirty promises as you\u2019re making plans.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI promise I won\u2019t keep you up all night.\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t make you work too hard.\u201d Texts like that are going to make him want you to do all those things.<\/p>\n

DON\u2019T be too serious!<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re out and about and want to meet up with him \u2014 on the town or in bed \u2014 the word \u201cplay\u201d is a great go-to. \u201cCome out and play with me!\u201d is sure to get his attention, and it\u2019s good for a new relationship or if you\u2019re shy.<\/p>\n

DON\u2019T state that you\u2019re drunk.<\/strong>\u00a0You can say \u201chaving a cocktail\u201d or \u201cat the bar,\u201d but starting off with \u201cJust did a body shot!!!! Where u @??\u201d is\u00a0going to lead to trouble.<\/p>\n

If you are a little bolder,\u00a0DO ask him what he\u2019s up to<\/strong>. Follow up with, \u201cThat\u2019s no fun! Wouldn\u2019t you rather come out and take advantage of me?\u201d The answer to that is always going to be YES.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s getting late in the evening and you\u2019re chatting with the intent to score an invite to his place,\u00a0DON\u2019T send a blatantly sexual text\u00a0<\/strong>laced with words you can\u2019t say on TV (and you\u00a0will\u00a0<\/em>be tempted after that third glass of wine). DO say, \u201cAll my friends are ready to leave, but I\u2019m not tired yet.\u201d Done and done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
