Okay, you\u2019ve managed to do something you thought you\u2019d never do: you\u2019ve finally got hold of your crush\u2019s number.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s obstacle number 1 all done and dusted. Game over and all that, right?<\/p>\n
Well, not quite. See, now it\u2019s time to try and flirt with your crush without embarrassing yourself to such an extent that you pretend your phone was hacked.<\/p>\n
This is not easy. We all get a little bit giddy when it comes to texting a hottie, and we can easily just freak-out and send a text that was meant to be fun but which is actually just a little bit cringe.<\/i><\/p>\n
But how do you go about keeping your cool when texting your crush? Well, you could <\/i>take a look at our top 10 things to avoid when texting your crush.<\/p>\n
1. Don\u2019t Include A Caption With Your Images<\/b><\/p>\n
You probably want to elicit a response from your crush, and you know that the easiest way to do that is to send a text with words in it.<\/p>\n
Even better is a text with a question.<\/p>\n
But if you\u2019ve decided to share an image, it\u2019s essential that you don\u2019t send a picwith <\/i>words. Just send the pic and be done with it!<\/p>\n
2. Do Not Send Risqu\u00e9 Photos<\/b><\/p>\n
He\u2019s your crush, not your lover.<\/p>\n
For this reason, it\u2019s highly unlikely that he\u2019s going to appreciate a naked pic of yourself. Especially if a) he didn\u2019t even know you were crushing on him, and b) he doesn\u2019t actually fancy you back.<\/p>\n
And he definitely won\u2019t appreciate it if c) he didn\u2019t even know you had his number!<\/p>\n
Like, \u201cHey! I got your number off your pal, Joey. Here\u2019s a pic of me. Having a good day?\u201d<\/p>\n
Not cool.<\/p>\n
3. Don\u2019t Keep On Laughing<\/b><\/p>\n
If you keep on finish every single text with \u201chahaha\u201d or, worse still, \u201cLOL\u201d, he\u2019ll quickly get annoyed. It\u2019s just cringe, and he\u2019ll assume that you\u2019re just as giggly in real life.<\/p>\n
And being that <\/i>giggly is not attractive. It smacks of lameness and a lack of intelligence. Instead, keep things cool and just don\u2019t laugh unless it\u2019s really appropriate. Because laughing after saying that you \u201creally don\u2019t want to go to work\u201d is not really appropriate. It\u2019s just weird and annoying.<\/p>\n
4. Don\u2019t Keep On Texting<\/b><\/p>\n
Yeah, he might actually reciprocate your crush and he might be interested in you. But this doesn\u2019t mean that you are free to break the seal and text him until the cows come home.<\/p>\n
A rampant tester is a surefire sign of a clingy woman, and by refusing to give him any personal space you\u2019re sending out all the wrong messages. Instead, you should back-off a little and allow him time to actually get on with his day. A constant \u201cbeeping\u201d sound from his phone will just get on his nerves. Like, Oh, it\u2019s <\/i>her <\/i><\/b>again.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
5. Don\u2019t Text When He\u2019s Busy<\/b><\/p>\n
Okay, he\u2019s just told you that he\u2019s going to be real busy for the next 2 hours, so what do you do? Do you:<\/p>\n
A) Bombard him with texts anyway<\/p>\n
B) Give him his space<\/p>\n
If you answered A to this question, you need help and I\u2019m afraid even we can\u2019t help you. If you answered B, however, you\u2019re doing just great. Keep reading.<\/p>\n
6. Don\u2019t Ask If He\u2019s Received Your Text<\/b><\/p>\n
Maybe<\/i> you could ask him once if he received your text a few hours ago, but asking him more than once \u2013 and on more than one occasion \u2013 is just annoying\u00a0and really not cool at all.<\/p>\n
Yep, waiting for a response is painful, but you\u2019ve just got to fight the temptation not to over-text. If you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll come across as needy and this will be a massive turn-off for the guy.<\/p>\n
7. Don\u2019t Wait Too Long To Reply<\/b><\/p>\n
Sure, you don\u2019t want to bombard him with texts and you don\u2019t want to come across as clingy. At the same, though, you don\u2019t want to take too long to respond to his texts.<\/p>\n
If you keep on waiting too long to reply to his texts, it will only backfire. Rather than show him that you\u2019re interested and that you\u2019re playing hard to get, refraining from texting too often will only say to him that you\u2019re actually not interested at all!<\/p>\n
Which is not <\/i><\/b>what you want. So whilst it\u2019s fine to keep him hanging now and then, certainly don\u2019t make a habit of it. Okay?<\/p>\n
8. Don\u2019t Give One-Word Answers<\/b><\/p>\n
Ladies, guys hate <\/b>the one-word text. Fewer things in life are indeed worse than receiving a one-word answer to a carefully constructed text that take positivelyages <\/i>to write out.<\/p>\n
So whilst you really might have nothing more productive to say than a single word, you\u2019ve really got to make some effort here. This is a guy you\u2019re crushing on, and unless you want to seem like The Most Boring Person In The World<\/em>, you\u2019ll need to be a bit creative with your replies.<\/p>\n 9. Don\u2019t Refer To Facebook<\/b><\/p>\n What we mean by this is don\u2019t admit to him that you\u2019ve been indulging in a bit of Facebook stalking.<\/p>\n We all <\/i>love a bit of Facebook stalking, but actually saying to your crush that, \u201cOh yeah, I saw that on Facebook,\u201d is a huge no-no.<\/p>\n A little part of them will be flattered, but mostly they\u2019ll be a teeny bit wary.<\/p>\n 10. Don\u2019t Remind Him That You\u2019re Single<\/b><\/p>\n It\u2019s absolutely not cool to say to him that you really <\/b>want to be in a relationship and that you\u2019re fed up with being single.<\/p>\n Not only does it all seem a smidgen desperate, but the guy might actually misinterpret what you are saying.<\/p>\n Rather than assume that you\u2019re trying to hint that he\u2019s <\/i><\/b>the one you want to be with, he might actually get the feeling that you\u2019re simply saying that you just want to be with someone <\/i>\u2013 and not necessarily him!<\/p>\n So instead of brazenly shouting from the rooftops that this single malarkey is not for you, just focus your attention on him.<\/p>\n Stay happy!<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n Source: Beauty and Tips<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, you\u2019ve managed to do something you thought you\u2019d never do: you\u2019ve finally got hold of your crush\u2019s number.
