What to Text Your Crush in 2023: 7 Examples that Work All The Time

Start a playful debate that could end up being a conversation that lasts hours. Sometimes, all you need is a random question that intrigues your crush and encourages a fun and interesting chat.  The most important thing is is that you don't go too controversial and keep it fun.

Here are a few examples of texts that will start a good text conversation.

• Pineapple on pizza, yes or no?
• Cats or dogs, which are better?
• Italian or Mexican food – what’s your favorite?
• Sunrises or sunsets, what would you rather watch?

Is your crush a really great hockey player, or amazing at chess? To make sure your crush replies, show them you’re paying attention to them by giving them a compliment on their talents. This is also a great way for you to propose hanging out and learning to do what they do best.

Here is how you can compliment your crush on their talents in a text:

• You were amazing at the basketball game tonight! Maybe you can teach me how to shoot a three sometime.
• Congrats on the hockey game win! We should go out on the rink together soon and you can show me your skating skills.
• You were great at the baseball game today! You’ll have to show me how to swing a bat on the field sometime.

Pickup lines can be cheesy, but that’s not always a bad thing! Send your crush a flirty pickup line to show them you’re interested. Flirty texts are the best way to send that first text that will definitely boost your love life.

Your crush will also appreciate that you don’t take yourself too seriously, and are keen to have a bit of fun flirting over text. 

• Hey stranger! Wait, why are we still strangers? Let’s fix that.
• You’re single. I’m single. I feel like this is a problem we can fix together.
• I’d rather do nothing with you than do something with somebody else.

Make your crush swoon by showing them your romantic side. Rather than being too forward or making your crush think you just want to hook up with them, let them know you’re serious about them with a romantic message. This will get them talking and could even make them laugh.

Here are romantic and flirty texts to send to your crush.

• I have a big, warm hoodie with your name on it. 
• Serious issue: I just can’t stop thinking about you.
• I adore you and miss you. That’s all.
• You’re the missing piece to my puzzle.
• I can't help but think about you at night before I fall asleep.

Lay it all out there for your crush by being confident and forward. They’ll appreciate you breaking the ice and taking the pressure off of them. Rather than leaving things unknown, let your crush know how you feel about them and that you’ve been thinking of your crush. 

Here are some great examples:

• Instead of missing you, I could be kissing you.
• I’m into curves, and my favorite is your smile.
• My love language is physical touch. Want a present?
• I can’t wait to feel your arms around me again.
• Thinking a lot of things about you I can’t say…but I could text.

If you’re nervous about talking to your crush by starting a conversation that stalls and doesn’t go anywhere – ask your crush a flirty question. With a question, you can nearly guarantee that you’ll get a response, and it could lead to an interesting conversation. 

• What is your favorite kind of adventure?
• Guess which emoji I put next to your name in my phone?
• What’s your biggest turn on?
• What color is your pillow? I may need to check to verify.

Rather than awkwardly asking them on a date, why not include them in your plans and see if they want to hang out? Girls love a guy who’s confident, and they’ll know you’re being genuine about them if you’re thinking about them enough to include them in your plans.

Here are a few examples of what to text your crush:

• I’ve been craving sushi all day! Want to go grab a roll?
• The new Tom Cruise movie is out today and it looks amazing! Want to catch a late night show?
• A new poutine place just opened down on my street and I’ve been dying to try it. Want to go get a snack?

When you're not sure how to start a conversation with words, send your crush a funny meme. You'll be sure to make them laugh, and will easily break the ice without doing too much talking. They may even send a few funny memes to you which you and your crush can share, laugh and talk about together.
