Getting your crush's number is a huge deal. Of course, the stress isn't over as soon as you get his digits, because you still have to come up with a clever opening line. But don't waste too much time thinking about what you should say, and just talk to him! If you need ideas, here are a few "first texts" to send him after you get his number:
1. I Know I'm Breaking Code by Not Waiting at Least 24 Hours, but I Couldn't Wait to Talk to You
Why force yourself to wait to talk to him? If you want to hear from him, send that text.
2. Save This Number. It’s the Most Important One You’ll Ever Get
Start off flirty by saying something along these lines.
3. Just Wanted to Text You, so You Had My Number, Too
This is short and sweet and to the point. It'll make you sound casual.
4. How do You Expect Me to Have Fun if You Aren't Here?
This is an adorable way to say hello to him. Plus, it'll start a conversation, because he'll be wondering where you are.
5. Why do I Have This Number?
If you like to play mind games, you can ask him this question to throw him off.
6. I Enjoyed Our Conversation Today. We Should Continue It Next Weekend
