What are some flirty texts to send to a guy?
Playful and Teasing Texts
Teasing is a classic flirting move because it feels light and fun, not heavy. The key is to keep it affectionate, not critical. For example: 'You're trouble, aren't you?' or 'I can't decide if you're a bad influence or my favorite one.'
Another approach is to send a mock accusation that invites him to defend himself playfully. 'I'm pretty sure you're trying to distract me on purpose' works if you've been texting a lot. It gives him an easy opening to flirt back.
- You're trouble, aren't you?
- I can't decide if you're a bad influence or my favorite one.
- I'm pretty sure you're trying to distract me on purpose.
- Stop being so cute, it's distracting.
- Are you always this charming, or is it just for me?
Compliments and Direct Flirts
Compliments work well over text because they're clear and flattering. Focus on something specific he can control, like his sense of humor, his taste in music, or how he makes you laugh. 'You have the best laugh' or 'I love how you always know what to say' feel genuine.
You can also be a little more direct if you've already been flirting. 'I had a dream about you last night' is bold but common. Or 'Thinking about you' with no explanation can be surprisingly effective. Just make sure it fits the vibe of your conversation.
- You have the best laugh.
- I love how you always know what to say.
- I had a dream about you last night.
- Thinking about you.
- You looked really good today.
Questions That Invite Flirting
Asking a flirty question puts the ball in his court and makes it easy for him to play along. 'What's your type?' is a classic. 'If I asked you out, would you say yes?' is more forward but can work if you're both clearly interested.
You can also use hypotheticals: 'If we were stuck in an elevator, what would you do?' or 'What's the most romantic thing you've ever done?' These keep things light while giving him a chance to flirt back.
- What's your type?
- If I asked you out, would you say yes?
- If we were stuck in an elevator, what would you do?
- What's the most romantic thing you've ever done?
- Do you flirt with everyone, or am I special?
Common mistakes
- Sending overly sexual texts too soon can make him uncomfortable or give the wrong impression.
- Copy-pasting generic flirty lines without personalizing them often feels insincere.
- Flirting nonstop without ever suggesting a real meetup can leave things stuck in text limbo.
