You’ve been crushing on that guy for as long as you can remember, but you’ve never quite managed to get his attention?
Well, don’t worry, today I will teach you the 10 best texting tips to get out of the friend zone and make him see you in a romantic way!
1) Don’t be shy to flirt
There is no need to be shy when it comes to texting.
I know, sometimes women are scared to flirt because they don’t want to come across as needy or desperate, but trust me when I say that flirting with a guy will actually get him to like you!
You want him to like you right?
So don’t be shy to flirt, even just a little.
How?
Well, guys are always looking for a girl that is confident and you can use this to your advantage.
If he says he likes you, then respond with something like “It’s about time you said that.”
You can also flirt with him by texting things like “You should text me more often” or “I miss you, let’s talk soon,” etc.
The idea is to show him that you are interested in him and want to take the relationship further.
You see, if you never flirt with him, then he might only see you as a platonic friend because he can’t imagine anything else.
Once you flirt, you open that doorway and he will realize that there is a chance for you two to be more than friends!
After that, he will be in a position where he can choose how to proceed.
2) Don’t use friendship language, be more bold and flirty
The way you communicate with a guy can make or break your chances.
If you want to get out of the friend zone, you will need to change your language from friendship to a language of desire, boldness, and flirtiness.
For example, instead of just confirming a hangout with “We’re still on for Friday?”, you can change your tone and say:
“Our plans for Friday still stand, right? I can’t wait to see you.”
This immediately puts the vibe out there that this might be more than just a hangout between friends.
If you keep being more bold and flirty, then he will eventually ask you out.
Don’t be afraid to flirt with him, it’s what women do in the friend zone!
It will get him to see you as something more than a friend.
Change your tone and he will stop seeing you as just another “bro”.
3) Give him a compliment
One of the best ways to make a guy like you is by giving him a compliment.
Men love receiving attention from girls, and compliments are one way to do that!
I know, lots of women are afraid of giving a guy a compliment because they don’t want to be too pushy, but believe me, guys love to receive compliments from time to time.
You see, due to the nature of dating, men are usually on the shorter end of the stick when it comes to compliments.
So, not only will you make his day, but he will also start seeing you as more than just a friend!
Here are some compliments that will definitely get him to like you:
“You look great in that shirt.”
“That was a great speech you gave at school today.”
“You’re such a good writer and I’m so impressed by how much you’ve improved over the years.”
“Your jeans fit you so well. They make you look hot!”
These types of compliments will affirm to him that you see him as attractive, which can be an ego boost for him.
You see, some guys would love to ask their friends out, but they are scared that they will not like them back, so a compliment might be all he needs in order to gather his courage!
Plus, compliments are very effective when it comes to starting conversations with guys.
Don’t be afraid to give him a compliment here and there, it will pay off in the long run!
4) Mention how compatible you two are
One of the most important things to mention when texting a guy you like is how compatible you two are.
The key here is to not come off too strong.
When you happen to agree on something or are on the same page, casually mention how crazy it is that you like so many of the same things.
For example, if you both like to play sports and like watching the same type of movies, then mention how it’s crazy that you guys are on the same page when it comes to those things and how you rarely ever meet guys who are so similar to you.
This will really show him that you’re not just trying to come off as a pushy friend, but also want him to see you as someone who has similar interests and is compatible with him.
He will see that you’re not just talking about how things are compatible between you two, but also how great he is too!
Guys love it when they know that they can talk about anything with a girl and that she will understand them, so be sure to mention this!
5) Let him text you first from time to time
One of the best texting tips, and one that really works, is to let him text you first from time to time.
Guys love a woman who isn’t too eager and waits for him to make the first move.
And the best part?
If he texts you first it shows that he might be interested in you on some level.
Texting can be hard because it’s so easy to misinterpret someone’s intentions through their words and phrases.
If a guy texts you once or twice, chances are he likes you as more than just a friend and is trying to see how you feel about him.
But if he only texts when he wants something or needs something from you, chances are that friendship is all there will ever be between the two of you.
The thing is, something deep down in men’s nature makes them love the chase, so, although I’m not a fan of playing games too much, letting him “chase” you a bit by waiting for him to text will make things a lot more interesting for him, believe me.
6) Talk about your love life
Don’t be afraid to talk about your love life with him in texts.
I know, this one might be confusing. Let me clarify: don’t necessarily tell him how in love you are with someone you went on a date with, that will only discourage him from asking you out.
However, don’t be shy to mention your love life and say things like: “Oh my god, I went on the worst date of my life last week.”
This will actually do two things:
If he isn’t already, it will make him see you as not just a platonic person, but somebody who dates and is a romantic possibility
and
It will show him that you are available and in the dating world right now.
Both of these things are important in order to get out of the friend zone.
You see, when he hears about how terrible your last tinder date went, he might be more inclined to ask you out, because he knows that you aren’t seeing anyone right now.
The moral of the story?
Don’t be afraid to talk about your love life just a little bit, or he will never see you in a romantic way or won’t know if you’re taken.
7) Wait a bit before you reply to his texts
This is one of the best texting tips for guys to get out of the friend zone.
And trust me, I am not a fan of playing games, but sometimes, it can help speed the process up.
If he texts you, don’t answer right away. If you reply too quickly, it will seem like you’re always available, and guys don’t always like that, especially not in the early stages.
You can wait a few hours before responding, and then make your reply light and happy.
This will help him realize that you’re interested in his texts, but he’ll also be curious as to why you’re not replying right away.
Now: this technique will not work for everyone, some people prefer to just be upfront and reply as soon as possible to the people they like (me included), and that’s okay!
However, doing this just a couple of times, while replying immediately every other time might give him that little element of “what is she doing? when will she reply?”.
Think about it: once a guy starts to have those thoughts, he already likes you as more than just a friend, which is exactly what we want.
8) Try to keep the texts about the two of you, not bringing other friends into it
This is a really important point because it doesn’t help to be constantly asking him how his other friends are doing.
Keep the texts about you and him – not your mutual friends.
This also goes for hanging out.
If you always hang out in a group, maybe it’s time to ask him to do something just the two of you.
When he likes you, he will get the hint right away. However, if he asks: “Should I invite John?”, you could give him one last hint, saying something like: “Oh, I thought it might be fun to hang out just the two of us!”
And if he still doesn’t get the hint or wants to invite other friends?
Then you have your confirmation that he doesn’t want to be with you, I’m sorry.
But at least it’s not an awkward situation and you know where you stand!
9) Be confident and assertive
One of the things that will help you get out of the friend zone is to be confident and assertive.
Men are attracted to confident women, so by being assertive, you can show that you’re self-assured and that he should be too.
Being assertive means not apologizing for what you want.
Now: if you are feeling really bold, this could also mean texting him something along the lines of:
“I think we’d make a great couple”
or
“To be honest, I’ve always felt a spark between us”
I know, this might be scary and uncomfortable, but if you feel ready to get out of the friendzone, a text like this might be the way to go!
10) Ask him out!
The best thing you can do to get out of the friend zone is to ask him out.
Now, while this may seem like a no-brainer, the thing that most people don’t realize is that asking out the guy you like can be hard.
You’ll want to act cool and nonchalant about it, even though you’re obviously nervous.
Be straightforward about it and tell him you want to go on a date with him – it’s ok if he says no, but it will make things easier if he says yes!
There is a big misconception that it always has to be the guy who asks the girl out, but in reality, a lot of guys find it attractive when a girl takes the initiative.
So, if you’re feeling bold and ready to get out of the friend zone, you could text him something like:
“I’ve always had a crush on you and I was wondering if you’d like to go on a date with me sometime soon?”
Find out sooner rather than later!
The sooner you find out if he reciprocates your feelings, the better.
This gives you the chance to either go for it or move on and find someone else.
But if he still doesn’t reciprocate your feelings, I can help you out.
In fact, James Bauer can help you out.
According to him, men don’t actually need a lot to feel content in their relationships. What’s more, what they need has nothing to do with sex. It has everything to do with their Hero Instinct.
The truth is, once you understand how it works, you’ll get out of the friend zone with any guy you want.
Actually, that’s the whole point of James Bauer’s free video. In it, he reveals the exact texts and phrases you can use straight away.
And no more playing games. Not for you and not for him.
