The Rules of Flirting Over Text
- Be playful, not pushy. If they don’t respond in kind, ease off.
- Be specific. A compliment about something real beats a generic one.
- Ask something. A flirty text with a question gets a reply.
- Match their energy. If they send short texts, don’t send paragraphs.
- Keep it kind. Tease the situation, never the person.
