Key Takeaways
The best text you can send someone you like isn’t the one that sounds perfect. It’s the one that actually sounds like you. These questions work because they’re curious, they’re genuine, and they give him something real to respond to instead of just a one-word answer and a dead end.
You don’t need to send all of these. Pick the one that fits the moment, the conversation, and where things are between you two right now. One good question at the right time can move things further than a dozen overthought messages.
And the next time you’re staring at your phone trying to figure out what to say, remember that the simplest move is usually just to ask something you actually want to know the answer to. Start there and let the conversation take care of itself.
