Ok please help, serious suggestions of what a guy would like to hear from text for the first time from a girl? I have a crush on this guy and I'm feeling brave enough to text him first. but what should I say?
+1 y"Hey there, this is [insert your name here]. You know me from...[insert place here], figured I'd drop a line. :-)"
Him: "Wait... you're?"
You: "Remember? The salad joke?"
Him: "Oh, that! I was wondering when I'd hear back."
You: "You made quite an impression yourself. Figured I should get to know you better."
Him: "That could get long, drawn-out, and complicated. But... I'll try not to bore you."
You: "Take your time. I'll let you know if anything sounds interesting."
Several texts later, him: "I feel like there could be something more here."
You: "If you're thinking about a date, I'm available Tuesday. If not, forget I mentioned it."
Him: "The Monkey Parrot Brigade is performing at the mall. There's karaoke after. Sound like a plan?"
You: "I have no idea what they're all about, but I can meet up. Karaoke? Not the worst plan. Sure, let's do this!"
Woofta poofta. You're on your way to a new boyfriend. l

+1 yAsk him about a topic that interests him, such as, do you like golfing? Biking? Chess? Fishing? Sharing boating expenses? Than suggest an event. It does not have to be expensive, you could suggest a hike to see the salmon run in the lakes, or a cultural festival or religious event etc…

Absolutely NEVER say "I'm so and so from xyz class."
You don't want to come off as insecure, that you're afraid you're so boring that he wouldn't remember you. The key is to assume the premise. You text him enthusiastically, assuming the premise that he has been excitedly anticipating your call.
If he seems confused, you feign insult that he doesn't remember you. Or you call him out on his neg. Or you can give him a flirt compliment, "I guess you have beautiful women ask for you number all the time, huh?" See how I snuck in self aggrandizement in there? See how it assumes the premise that you're beautiful?
Sure, this is a bit of a masculine approach cocky and self assured, and maybe that's not you, maybe you're shy. Maybe you can be good at playing the virginal shrinking violet, and that's fine, and I supposed encouraged, but like you say relational context matters.
And generally speaking, a sort of voice that comes from a confidence, that already assumes the premise is good and can be used in either archetype.
After all, everybody gets nervous with the prospect of this dating game, so a little help and encouragement can go a long way to really get your target to warm up to you.
Opinion Owner+1 yI don’t think the guy knows her
- +1 y
What you think she pulled his phone number from his facebook? Or you think she means like a dm text?
Could be, could be. Oh okay, so that changes my interpretation of your script. So your "Hi I'm Anna", is more of an introduction than a reminder. Ok.
I'm just kinda trying to imagine the scenario. Are girls really going around sliding in random dude's dms? I thought that was something that only guys do. Then again, it seems a chick is trying to slide into my dm's right now...

u +1 yWhy are you texting? Afraid to actually talk to him?
10 Reply - 3.2K opinions shared on Dating topic.
+1 yThink of a pretext to text him something that will catch his interest. Maybe ask him a question about his fave hobby. Guys love to talk about that. If it was a little later in the school year and he was a jock I’d say congratulate him on his team winning.
20 Reply I like the idea of you not coming on here to ask strangers on the internet what you should say to your crush.
Say what you want, anything, just make sure it's an original thought that shows that you're doing yourself rather than some b. s. that anyone here would give.00 Reply
+1 yYou say for the first time so I assume he doesn't know your interested. But just say "hey whats up" you know... Be yourself if he is feels the same he will at least try to respond back. Just like let him know you exist (assuming you've already met or at least mingled with him) don't overthink it! ✌️

+1 yTell them this poem,
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."00 Reply
+1 yit depends on the guy. if he is handsom a coment on his looks will be lost in the hundreds of similar texts he already gets from basic bitches. if you really had a crush on this guy you would habe noticed something the others have not. that is what they will respond too.

Anonymous(18-24)+1 yGirl if you don’t know what to text your crush , it means there might not be any chemistry between you two so if you converse with them it’s going to feel forced. You’re already double thinking it.
If you really want to talk to your crush then be yourself, how would you start a conversation with a friend? By saying hello, hi, hey first and then from there you go along.
Otherwise, save yourself your own time.01 Reply
