Texting can be a flippant way of chatting. But it’s also a powerful method of sending messages straight to a girl’s heart!
Walking along the street or sitting on public transport, you’re liable to see people texting friends or partners. If it’s the latter they could be exchanging everything from chatty conversation to sweet nothings. But in the right hands, text messages can be a terrific way of sending compliments, capturing a girl’s heart within a few lines, ensuring she can’t wait to see you again. Here is everything you need to know about sending compliments to someone special in your life.
Complimenting, not flirting
Your messages need to stick in her mind. Smalltalk and abbreviations are find for when you’re sending over a suggested shopping list. But when you want to compliment her it’s important to put some thought into the communication. It’s all about making her feel very special, and letting her know how much she means to you.
It’s worth pointing out the distinction between flattering someone and genuinely complimenting them. You can do the former in a far more flippant manner, and do so with any number of people. You could even flatter your mother about cooking the best Sunday roast! But when you’re texting someone you’re in a relationship with, by all means flatter them on occasions when you’re being joky and friendly, but when you want to send a sincere message, you compliment.
So remarking about her good looks is okay but you should go a bit deeper than that. Compliment her about her qualities and those hidden personality traits that only someone who has got to know her really well can appreciate.
Timing
A text will make a really strong impression depending on what time of day you send it over. Think about those moments when she might be in bed, either early in the morning or last thing at night. Send over a discreet message to give her a sweet wake-up or to virtually tuck her in last thing. For the former, your image will be the first thing that lingers in her mind that day. For the latter, if you’re the last thing on her mind before she sinks into a deep sleep, guess who’s going to feature in some of her dreams?
Drawing attention to your relationship while she is lying down, perhaps wearing next to nothing, is also a terrific ploy for inspiring frisky thoughts. As your partnership gets deeper and deeper, your compliments could actually step up a gear and stray into more suggestive territory. From this point you could pepper your sparkling compliments with ever flirtier messages. When does texting compliments transform into sexting? Who knows? There are certainly no rules on the subject that can be referred to. Whatever you can do to get your partner blushing is fair game.
Corny? Who says
You need to be imaginative with compliments. These are messages that must do so much more than just pass the time of day. We’re not talking about using thumbs to compose lines of verse that would’ve received a thumbs-up from Shakespeare. But there’s no harm in getting a bit flowery with your language.
For instance, how about something along the lines of ‘I feel the last 8 hours of my life have been a waste because you weren’t with me. I don’t want to waste a moment more. Let’s hook up as soon as we can.’ Or you could be even more extreme. ‘When we’re apart I feel like an astronaut running out of oxygen. We need to get together so I can breathe freely again.’
It’s always good to mention sushine. Who doesn’t like the sun? So metaphors about shining lights or warmth or glowing presence are all fantastic. It’s important to show your creative side – make yourself stand out from previous boyfriends.
Perhaps your partner will giggle when receiving such florid poetry. But you can be sure of one thing. Your texts will make an impression, and each time her phone pings and she sees your name coming up in the display her heart will beat just a little bit faster.
