Texting tips

[AnxietyAndIL]

So I want to text the girl I like (or rather message her on fb) and I don't know what to say.

We messaged eachother a bit late last night but it was a short convo and she didn't seem very engaged. Whats a better way for me to have a conversation with her to make us talking more comfortable with eachother?

Any help is appreciated.

It's harder to keep fb convos going in general as opposed to texting of Twitter DMs I don't really know why though. If you could switch platforms to texting that'll help right off the bat. If it's at all possible talk to her more in person when you can so your text/fb convos can have more substance. If you can't talk to her more in person...engage her in topics she's interested it, make her laugh, try to open up to her and get her to open up to you about more personal things to deepen your conversations and your relationship.

You have to find mutual topics of interest. Subjects you can both be involved in and connect with. Sports, music, hobbies are usually a good place to start. Even events and stuff like parties or school/mutual friends. Just anything to get the ball rolling and once you've gotten a couple of inside jokes that you can keep referring back to, you're basically set.

A shared class, teacher, or interest in an activity are three things that are pretty much universal conversation starters. Even if she has no real interest in you (which I'm hoping she does) it's a good start to gauge her feelings of whether a connection may be possible or not.

Kind of like the coffee lunch "date." It's friendly, and a way to tell if there might be something there without putting too much feeling into it.
