53 Things to Text Him to Make His Day

Imagine you’re having an unbelievably crappy day. Maybe you failed a test, your boss is being difficult, you lost your phone, or your dog made a mess in your house.

Whatever the reason, you’re feel stressed out. You have a headache forming behind your eyes and you catch yourself wondering if it can get any worse.

But then the guy you’ve been crushing on sends you a text. He could say any number of things, but what matters most is he said just the right thing to make you smile. For a moment, your whole day feels a bit better.

Texting the guy you’re into is an easy way to perk him up – exactly like how it perks you up when he texts you. Finding the right words to say is the tricky part, though, so we’ve written over 50 things to text him to make his day.

Let’s show you what we came up with.

Texting Responsibly (So You Don’t Drive Him Away)

We’ve written a lot of texting guides. In every single one, we think it’s never a bad idea to cover some basic texting rules so you don’t end up ruining his day rather than making it.

The first thing to remember is to not flood him with texts. If he doesn’t answer you right away, remember that he’s likely busy with work, school, friends, or family. He’ll get back to you when he can, especially if he truly likes you. (If he never answers you, here’s our guide to what to text when a guy doesn’t reply.)

Another thing to remember when you want to make his day is your tone. Try to keep your tone in the text upbeat. In the event he’s just had a bad day, any negativity from you could make it even worse.

Finally, be sure you’re not too readily available. If you always answer him the instant he texts you, he may start to take you for granted.

Periodically, take some time to answer him, even if you have nothing else going on. This demonstrates to him that you’ve got a life outside of him and makes him curious about what you’re doing.
