"We Should Text More" - What Do I Write?!

Post Reply New Topic

The guy I've admired for the last two years, with whom I've made little more than casual small talk with, previously, asked for my number. I'm not going to lie - he's got a girlfriend - but they've always been pretty rocky, and even as just friends, I'm still pretty happy. We've been talking more for the last few weeks and even text every now-and-then outside of class.

On Monday he wrote to me and that lasted for about an hour, possibly more if I did not have to go help cook dinner. Later that night I realized I had somehow missed his first message, saying that it will be hard for us to get together until he has his own car (we're both fresh out of high school) and he wants to text more to "keep our friendship fresh", which I assume is a good thing. I wrote to him Tuesday (the following) morning mentioning I could always arrange a ride for him, need be. Haven't talked to him since.

I've been dying to say something, and that is hard because he always initiates everything.

What should I write to him? "Hey, how's your week going?" Is that alright? What are other options? It doesn't have to be flirtatious, we are just friends, but even so I'm still unsure of myself.

Questions are always good. Share your interests, ask him about his?

Just start a casual conversation. The how's your week going one is fine.

Texting is really confusing for me to. People often say just "hey" to me, which I think is really annoying. I would include some sort of question in there, like you suggested.

I have a guy friend (there's *something* going on between us, don't know what) and when we haven't talked in a long time, one of us just says something random. Sometimes he'll say "You still alive?" I say all kinds of crazy things to start conversations, but I'd stick with something more easy to figure out (what you're talking about I mean) since you don't know him extremely well.

It can be tricky figuring out if something like that is recieved positive or fake positive but if you don't send the same "hey" all the time with the implied job of making the other person choose a conversation topic there shouldn't be any issue like that (meaning once is definitely ok. Probably any degree of ever having your own thing to say up front makes it ok.)

tell him what youve done. like i went climbing or i maid lasagna or the funyist thing at work happend.

tell him there's a party in your pants, and you'd made out several invitations, but on the way to personally deliver them you were struck by lightning and that not only has it miraculously given you AS and otherwise left you completely unharmed, but that also every invitation but his seems to have been incinerated in the blast and that you'll be damed if you're going to print out more because they were professional grade on quality paper with gold leaf and those things are damned pricey, and so that you guess he's the only one who'll get one, and that you expect to see him at your dwelling place for said pants party around 8 o'clock sharp and no excuses

hahaha, j/k
