Ready to up your texting game? Here are a honey bunch of texts to keep you on his mind, spark a little excitement, and maybe even make him count down the minutes until he sees you next.
Let’s get into it.
Good Morning Texts (Start His Day Your Way)
Your goal: be the first thing he thinks about—right after “I need coffee.”
-
“Good morning to the hottest man on the planet! Just thought you should know.”
-
“Woke up smiling today… totally your fault.”
-
“Rise and shine, handsome. Got any dreams you wanna share?”
-
“I hugged my pillow this morning and pretended it was you. 0/10, would not recommend. Need the real thing.”
-
“Morning! Can’t wait to make some trouble with you later 😘”
Flirty Compliments (Because Who Doesn’t Love a Boost?)
Don’t forget that men love compliments too, especially when they’re unexpected and a little flirty. Not sure what to compliment him on? Think about what makes him special? Does he have killer eyes? A great bod? An outstanding personality? Dig a little deeper and be specific.
-
“You in that shirt = unfair advantage to every other guy today.”
-
“How are you real? Like… is this a prank? You’re too good.”
-
“Not only are you sweet, but you’re a total snack. Dessert vibes.”
-
“I think your ambition is super sexy. And your smile? Whew.”
-
“Just so you know, I brag about you a lot. Hope you’re okay with being my favorite subject.”
Sweet Dreams Texts (So You’re His Last Thought)
He’s lying in bed. Help him drift off thinking of you—not emails, football, or whether he left the stove on (or if forgot to walk the dog after dinner). Good night texts might be corny, but they are pretty great for any stage of a relationship. I still send them to my long term partner every time we are forced to be apart at night. It’s my virtual kiss.
-
“You were the first person I thought of this morning and the last tonight. Not mad about it.”
-
“Sweet dreams, babe. I’ll be seeing you in mine tonight 😉”
-
“Wish I could fall asleep on your chest tonight. Until then, this pillow will have to do.”
-
“Cuddling with you > everything else. Just saying.”
-
“Sleep tight, handsome.”
Playful Texts to Keep Him Guessing (Curiosity = Chemistry)
Mystery + humor = an irresistible combo. Let’s face it. Guys like girls who can be cute and playful. When you let your guard down and goof around you let your feminine light shine through. These are guaranteed to put a smile on his face.
-
“Guess what I’m wearing right now? ”
-
“Want to know a secret?…”
-
“You left something at my place…my heart. Ugh, cheesy. But still true.”
-
“Serious question: Why are you so freaking cute? It’s distracting.”
Teasing Texts (A Little Sass Goes a Long Way)
A good tease isn’t mean—it’s fun, flirty, and just vague enough to keep him intrigued. Don’t be a bully, instead, showcase your wicked sense of humor.
-
“Do you always look this good, or is it just when I’m watching?”
-
“I have a little surprise for you… and no, I’m not telling. Yet.”
-
“I dare you to guess what I’m thinking about right now. Spoiler: it’s not tacos.”
-
“You’re trouble. The fun kind.”
-
“You should really stop being so adorable. It’s giving me heart palpitations.”
Fun & Games (Because Who Says Texting Has to Be Boring?)
Inject some lighthearted energy into your convo with games that will make him want to play along. Sure, texting games aren’t for everyday. But, throwing in a little game now and then can help you beat the mundane text exchange trap. It can also help you learn more about him.
-
“Guess the song lyric I’m thinking of right now… winner gets a kiss.”
-
“Pick a number between 1 and 10. I won’t tell you why. Yet.”
-
“Would you rather: pizza in bed or breakfast in bed (with me)? Choose wisely.”
-
“Truth or dare—but texting edition.”
-
“If I say a color, and you say a memory, what comes up when I say red?”
Romantic Texts That Go Straight to the Heart
Sometimes you’ve gotta drop the flirt and just feel the feelings. Obviously, don’t send overly romantic texts to your partner every single day and nothing else. Sweetly slide one in from time to time. It will let him know how much you appreciate him…and that you see him as more than a friend.
-
“You make my world better just by existing in it.”
-
“There’s literally no one else I’d rather be weird with.”
-
“I feel safest when I’m with you. Even if we’re just texting.”
-
“You’re my favorite notification.”
-
“Just wanted to say thank you for being you. Also for being ridiculously hot.”
Nostalgic Reminders (Bring Back the Good Vibes)
Revisiting your shared moments? That’s bonding on a deeper level. Did you know that every time you bring up a past memory, it’s like reliving it again? Had an amazing first date? Remind him. Went on an exciting vacation together? Don’t let those memories live dormant in your photo gallery. Send him a random reminder. Or, you could send:
-
“Remember that time we stayed up way too late just talking? I loved that.”
-
“I keep thinking about our first date… I knew you were a keeper.”
-
“Do you remember what I wore that night? I bet you do 😉”
-
“That sunset we watched together? Still one of my favorite memories.”
-
“Every time I see [insert inside joke], I think of you.”
Future Plans That Make Him Look Ahead (With You)

-
“Let’s plan our dream lazy Sunday—go!”
Bold & Sexy (For When You’re Feeling Extra)
Only send these when you’re in the mood and the vibe’s right. But when you do…

“Just got out of the shower… wish you were here to help me pick a towel.”
-
“I have a confession: I’m crazy about you.”
-
“The thought of you just made me…”
-
“Every time I see your name pop up, I…”
