Here’s the Real Deal About Texting Him

Listen, I’ve given you over a hundred texts, but here’s what actually matters: the best text is the one that feels like you. Because that’s what he’s falling for – not some perfectly crafted message you found on the internet (even though these are pretty good if I do say so myself), but the actual person you are.

Don’t stress so much about saying the perfect thing that you end up saying nothing at all. Some of my best texts to my husband have been random observations about stuff I saw during my day, or admitting I was thinking about him at a totally random moment. It’s not about being smooth all the time, it’s about being genuine and letting him see that you’re into him.

And yeah, spicy texts are fun and flirty texts are great, but don’t underestimate the power of a simple “thinking about you” when he least expects it. That’s the stuff that really sticks.

Also? If he’s not responding to your texts with the same energy you’re giving him, that’s information too. The right guy will match your enthusiasm, even if his texting style is different from yours. You shouldn’t be doing all the work here.

So go ahead, pick a few of these texts that feel right, make them your own, and watch him light up when your name pops up on his screen. You’ve got this. And if you totally bomb one? Just laugh it off and try again. That’s what makes you human, and honestly, that’s pretty attractive too.

Now stop overthinking and go text that man already. 💕
