5 Ways To Spice Up Your Text Messages To Keep Your Relationship Exciting
Want to keep your relationship exciting? Texting can be the perfect way to do so. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s flexible, allowing you to connect any time, from anywhere you have your phone.
However, if you don’t know how to text, or you get bored with your usual back-and-forth, things can start feeling pretty stale pretty quickly. Here are five conversation starters that can help you keep things interesting when texting someone you like.
Do you have any pets?
Everyone loves talking about their pets, especially if they’re funny or cute. It’s a great way to open up a conversation, and you get to know someone intimately when you ask them questions about their animals. It also shows them that you have a real interest in what they have to say. Who knows? Maybe it will inspire them to text back by bringing up your pet as well.
What are your top 3 favorite music genres?
If you can learn about your partner’s music preferences, you can use them to spice up your text messages. For example, if he or she loves heavy metal and you love hip-hop, you could say something like I saw that new Metallica video — totally awesome or I just heard my favorite song on Rap City — have you heard it?
It’s incredible!
Or maybe one of your partner’s favorite singers is Ke$ha and she just released a new album; saying something like Ke$ha has a great new single out, we should go to her concert together. This will get his or her attention.
Do you prefer working with people or by yourself?
My biggest pet peeve is when I have to work with someone who hasn’t put in any effort. On a scale of 1–10, how much energy do you bring to your job?: One thing that I always remember my dad saying is that an idle mind leads to all kinds of trouble.
What are some ways you keep yourself busy and active? If you had one sentence to describe yourself as a worker, what would it be? My natural inclination has always been toward being alone, so working by myself doesn’t bother me in any way. That said, there’s something magical about seeing a team of people come together toward a common goal.
If you could choose the perfect weather, what would it be?
This question is a great way to find out what types of activities are most enjoyable for your crush. There’s nothing worse than planning an outdoorsy weekend getaway and discovering that your love doesn’t enjoy walking around in 90-degree heat or watching bad TV all day in front of a fireplace.
If you really want to bond over something that you both like, ask questions about activities that you both enjoy or tell them how much fun you had doing something together, even if it was just sitting on your couch binge-watching Netflix. Make sure they know they are always welcome to come back and spend time with you again.
Do you watch TV shows or movies more? Why?
When you’re watching something, don’t hesitate to discuss it with your partner. This can be a great way to kickstart a dialogue about what one of you is watching, too. Instead of turning on Netflix and then going straight to bed, try asking your partner how they feel about a current show or movie that has aired.
This can help draw them out and get them thinking about ideas or opinions they may not have voiced before, which is an easy way to build lasting memories and strengthen bonds between you two. We already know that lack of communication leads couples to break up.
Final Thoughts
Hopefully, by now you are starting to see some of these tricks in action. I can honestly say that I haven’t come across any other product or tool like this. Anytime you find yourself being asked a question but you don’t have an answer, or anytime someone says they want to get better at something, you should ask follow-up questions and learn more about them.
This is a tried and true formula that has been used by thousands of successful people all over the world. Take some time today to try it out on your friends, family members, and work colleagues — You’ll be surprised at how well it works.
