2 Save This Number. It’s the Most Important One You’ll Ever Get
Start off flirty by saying something along these lines.
When you get a guy’s number, it can be exciting but also nerve-wracking. You want to make sure you send the perfect text that will intrigue him and make him want to respond. The key is to be flirty without being too forward. Start off by sending something like “Hey, I’m so glad I got your number. I just had to text you.” This will let him know that you’re interested in getting to know him better.
Once you’ve initiated the conversation, keep it light and fun. Ask him questions about his interests and hobbies, and make sure to keep the conversation going. If you’re feeling bold, you can even send him a funny meme or GIF. This will show him that you’re interested in him and that you have a sense of humor.
When you’re getting to know each other, avoid talking about serious topics like religion or politics. Instead, focus on getting to know each other better and having fun. Ask him about his favorite movies or music, and share some of your own interests. This will help you create a connection and deepen your bond.
