20 Texts to Make Him Ask You Out

Talking to a guy can sometimes feel like playing a game of cat and mouse – and you can’t tell whether you’re the cat or the mouse!

You leave what you feel are bold hints that you like him. Flirty text messages are constantly flying from your phone to his. You send him tantalizing selfies and emojis.

Maybe you’ve even hung out a few times, hooked up, or shared other romantic moments with him. So when is he going to get the message and ask you out?

If you’ve discovered that your guy is a teensy bit oblivious, we’ll give you a helping hand. We’ve written a bunch of texts to make him ask you out that will leave your intentions crystal-clear to him.

Tips to Make Yourself Extra Desirable Over Text

The text templates we created aren’t going to make him beg to see you again by themselves. There are some other things you’ll need to keep in mind in order to ensure you’re undeniably desirable.

Here’s the first thing to remember: don’t always answer him the moment he texts you. We often want things that are harder to get and making yourself readily available to him at all times tells him you’re the opposite.

In other words, put your phone down every once in awhile and let his texts go unanswered for a bit. The suspense will leave him hungry for more interaction with you. As a bonus, this will also give you time to think of a good response.

Second thing: don’t bombard him with love. You might be 100% sure you’re falling for this guy, but opening those emotional floodgates too soon and dousing him with romantic words could leave him feeling overwhelmed. Try to corral your feelings a little, keeping your tone casually flirty.

Finally, don’t forget to have fun! Talking to him should be something you look forward to, not something you dread. We know it’s easier said than done, but try to tone down the over-analyzing and anxiety. Just let yourself enjoy the conversation!

Great For: When you want to casually invite him to your place. Who doesn’t love ordering in and having a relaxed date at home? PS: the food doesn’t have to be pizza – it can be whatever else you’re in the mood to order, but it should ideally be something he’d also love to eat.

Great For: When you’re feeling romantic. This a pretty clear invitation to him to come cuddle with you, and he’d have to be pretty oblivious not to see it.
