One of the biggest question that women ask is how to text a guy without sounding desperate. They try to play it cool thinking that texting a guy first will make them look desperate and needy and wait for the guy to text first.
So, when a guy texts first they get happy since they get to respond him what they want and not worry about what to text him. But what if the guy doesn’t text? What will do you if he doesn’t text you even after 1 or 2 days? Are you going to panic that he is not interested in you or are you going to text him first?
What To Text A Guy First?
Texting a guy first is not a problem at all. There are no hard rules saying that you can’t text a guy first. In fact, they like it when they get a text from a girl first. However, there is a right way and a wrong way of doing it. If you do it the wrong way, you might project yourself as a desperate woman craving for attention, which might make him back off. Let me give you some tips on what to text a guy first without making yourself look desperate.
Send Him Your Photo
Let’s say you are out with your friends to a movie or a restaurant. Sending him a picture of you having fun shows that you are not a desperate woman sitting at home doing nothing; but enjoying your life even without him. Sending a photo with a caption is also a good idea.
“Hey, watching this funny movie. What you doing?”
You can even send him a photo without a caption but it is better if you do. Clicking a picture and sending him just takes a few seconds. All you have to do is select a picture that shows you are busy and send him. You don’t have to do something crazy like sky diving just to show him that you are having fun. Now, that would make you desperate.
Ask Him A Question
Put some thought before you ask him any question as this one can be a little tricky. Asking the wrong question might make you look desperate for his attention.
One of the best ways to tackle this is by asking him some light-hearted question which will give you an opportunity to start a conversation. If he is good in computers, ask him which is the best laptop that you can buy for a certain budget. Ask him the pros and cons of each laptop and then finally ask him to join you to visit some local computer store to check out a laptop for you. This could become a date for you without even asking him.
You can also ask him for some advice related to a problem which he is good at solving. Guys feel good when they are helpful and will be more than ready to help you out.
Continue A Previous Conversation
Still having a hard time thinking how to text a guy first without sounding desperate? Why not continue your previous conversation over text? This could be a bit hard if you have already discussed the topic via text or if it’s been a while since you have talked about it. In such cases, bringing up the conversation again might make you look desperate.
But if you had the last conversation face-to-face, then it is one of the best and easiest to start the conversation again. And if the guy is also happy to continue the discussion, it is a good sign showing you that he is interested in you.
Don’t Go Overboard With Texting
Don’t text him every day in the morning, afternoon, evening and so on. Give him a chance to text you first. And if he still hasn’t texted you by the end of the day, you can then send him a picture or say something that will make him smile.
But what if you have texted him but he hasn’t replied you yet? The worst thing that you can do is text him repeatedly until he replies. This will easily make you look desperate. If he hasn’t replied you, just stop worrying and get back to your work. Be happy that your guy is a busy person who must be doing something productive and not some jobless person. The last thing that you want to do is put him off. And if the guy is really interested in you then he will respond to your text as soon as he gets free.
