You don’t always have to be so forward or aggressive in your approach to getting your man to like you; most especially not when you’re just starting out as a couple. You want to keep things casual, but you also want him to know that you’re serious about him and that you want him to take you seriously as well. You’ve been dating for quite a bit, and you know that he’s a great guy who is worth holding on to. You both have great chemistry, and it’s always a good time whenever you’re together. You are off to a great start, but you want to keep the ball rolling and you want to make use of every tool that is at your disposal.
And in this modern age that means one thing: texting. Texting can make or break early relationships. There’s no denying that. It’s the modern age and if you refuse to adapt to the times, you’re going to get left behind. It’s important that your texting game is on point if you want to give your relationship the best shot at surviving. And if you feel like you’re lost with him when it comes to texting, then this article is absolutely perfect for you. You want to get him to like you and stay interested in you; but you also don’t want to be coming off as aggressive and imposing. You don’t want to be pressuring him too much to the point that you scare him away. One way to gauge his interest is through text messages that show he cares. Pay attention to how often he initiates conversations and the effort he puts into his replies. Subtle hints in his texts can reveal whether he values your connection and is eager to keep the conversation going.
But you also don’t want to be so cold so as to make him believe that you’re really not as into the relationship as you are. It’s a fine line that you’re going to have to learn to walk on. The most important thing you need to remember at this point is that you have to be yourself. The moment that you start to act fake, he’s going to notice. He doesn’t want someone who is patronizing him. He doesn’t want a girl who doesn’t feel safe about being her true self when she’s around him. So, if you feel like a lot of the items on this list just aren’t consistent with your personality, you don’t have to use them. Or you can tweak them to make them your own.
What’s most important here is that YOU believe what you’re texting him. It’s the only way to get him to believe it as well. And don’t worry if you’re not too good with words or writing. You don’t have to write like Oscar Wilde in order to get him to fall for you. Here are a few very simple and yet cute text messages that you can send him to get him to like you in a very wholesome and healthy manner. Pay attention to the signs he likes you through text; they can be subtle yet revealing. For instance, if he frequently initiates conversations or responds quickly, that’s a positive indicator of his interest. Additionally, when he compliments you or shares personal stories, it shows he values your connection and feels comfortable opening up to you.

This might be a little provocative, but it’s safe to send him these texts when you start to get deeper into the relationship. however, there are also messages to avoid sending your man, as they can create misunderstandings or push him away. It’s essential to maintain open and honest communication while steering clear of topics that might cause unnecessary tension. Focus on nurturing the connection instead of risking it with potentially damaging words. Cringeworthy texts to avoid can range from overly aggressive declarations of affection to inappropriate jokes that miss the mark. Being mindful of your tone and content is crucial, as these missteps can lead to awkward situations or misunderstandings. Instead, prioritize messages that foster connection and demonstrate genuine interest in his thoughts and feelings.

Let him know that you can’t wait to kiss him again. Show him how crazy you are about his lips.
10. “Your arms and abs are driving me absolutely crazy.”
