Ready? Let’s take a look at some flirty conversation starters.
Here's How To Flirt Over Text:
Flirty Text Strategy #1. Ask a Flirty Question
One of the easiest texts to send is a question text. However, when it comes to flirting, your question needs to be interesting, a little bit cheeky – and a little bit naughty. Here are some examples:
Wanna know a secret?
Are you naughty?
What are we doing tonight?
Are you coming over?
Did you like our first kiss?
Which emoji reminds you of me?
What’s your biggest turn on?
What’s the naughtiest thing you’ve ever done?
What’s your biggest turn off?
Are you flirting with me?
Where’s your favorite place to be kissed?
Flirty Text Strategy #2. Let Them Know You Like Them
Confidence is very attractive, and all guys and girls will go weak at the knees if you’re bold enough to let them know you fancy them.
Here are some flirty texts examples:
People say you should wait 3 days before texting. But screw that, I like you, so here I am!
I like you and you’ve gotta deal with that.
“Hi” is all I’ve got at the moment but I promise I’ll get better.
You’re hot.
Let’s date.
I can't stop thinking about you.
Wanna come to my place?
I’ve gotta admit – you turned me on when we first met.
Literally, no one has turned me on as much as you.
I pictured you naked last night.
Why can’t I sleep?! It’s your fault.
Flirty Text Strategy #3. Recall The Last Time You Hung Out
If the two of you had a great time the last time you hung out/dated, it’s always a good idea to reference it. Why? Because it puts them in a great mood and reminds them that you get along really well.
Here are some examples:
Remember that [insert memory here] thing we did last time?
Casually sat here laughing my head off at work after remembering what we got up to last time!
Oh gosh, I wasn’t TOO drunk was I?
I seem to recall you flirting with me.
I seem to remember you tried hard to get me to go home with you! But I was being good 😉
Just thinking back to what we got up to and can’t stop smiling.
Had such a good time last week/month – shall we do it again soon?
We got pretty naughty last time out. Shall we go one better next time?
My mom warned me about people like you! Seems she was right 😉
You were so hot last time I saw you.
We’ve gotta do it again sometime, if only so I can remember how pretty you are.
I just realized that the more time I spend with you, the more I fall in love with you.
Flirty Text Strategy #4. Tell Them How Excited You Are To See Them Again
Sometimes, the easiest way to flirt is to simply let them know you’re excited to see them again! This is important because it’s often the case that the other person doesn’t even know we’re interested in them unless we give them a sign. Here are some examples:
Will you be just as sexy next time I see you?
Damn, I’ve gotta up my game for next time.
I’ve been shopping for new clothes today, you’re gonna love what I bought.
Maybe next time I’ll come without underwear. Just saying.
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep my hands off you the next time we meet.
How long until our next date?
Have you got plans for this week? Is there room for me?
I’ll let you decide where we meet next time.
I’m thinking another date is due soon.
Counting down the days until we meet again.
Flirty Text Strategy #5. Make Some Plans
If you’re feeling bored or frustrated that things aren’t moving forward as quickly as planned, it’s time to take the initiative and display a bit of confidence by making some plans. Here are some examples:
I’m free for some shenanigans this week – are you?
Let’s cut to the chase and meet up this weekend.
Drinks on me tomorrow if you’re free.
Damn, I just saw an advert for sushi and now want some. You like sushi, too?
Let’s go see a movie together.
Date night soon?
This is me officially asking you out. It’s up to you whether or not you want to accept.
I like, you like me – let’s go on a date.
If we’re dating now, it’s time we went out together.
Me + you = tacos this weekend?
Flirty Text Strategy #6. Flirt With Emojis

[pizza] tonight?!
Just bought some [ice cream] – want in?
These are for you [flowers]
Are we gonna have some [confetti] tonight!?
Describe yourself in 3 emojis
