The easiest way to pique a guy’s curiosity is by texting him. However, a simple “Hi” won’t get you far. If you like this guy, you want to get him interested and thinking about you, right?

Not to worry! You don’t have to be a pro in the texting game. Here are nine texts to get him chasing you. All you need to do is grab your phone and send one of those texts to your crush!

How do I get him to chase me over text?

You don’t have to be a dating coach to know that a good text can make him chase you in a split second, whereas a bad one can make a guy back away. Before we dive into the best texts to get him chasing you, let me give you some tips on drafting that amazing text.

If you admire someone and want to talk to him, or maybe you have been on the first date, you must be cautious about what you text. A single text message can significantly impact how he sees you.

Texting is a form of art. It takes some creativity and imagination to come up with something original and intriguing. If you want to make a guy chase you, texting is a skill that must be mastered.

“Hey, what’s up?” or “Did you have dinner?” are boring questions to ask via a text message. This has no effect, and the guy may eventually say, “Nothing!” and “Yes, I did!” These types of texts are certainly conversation killers.

Also, avoid getting to another extreme and going into great detail about your life. Keep a pleasant attitude, and don’t tell the guy about your monotonous day or text him to vent.

Do you think sending an emotional rant will interest your crush? He might be busy with work or having a bad day himself. Send him a feel-good text that makes him want to talk to you or ask him about his day in a creative yet non-inquisitive way.

Did I mention the words “Lol” or “Lmao”? If you constantly use these in your texts, you should stop! Sending too many emojis or phrases like “Okay, nothing special,” “I’m not sure,” or “Anything works” will not bring results. The guy will find you uninteresting.

He might even stop talking to you instead of chasing you. Make an effort to sound intelligent and challenge his opinion. Don’t use the old-school approach and send cliché messages. Level up and get him hooked to texting you by teasing him.

Don’t be needy, eager, or hover near your phone waiting for his reply. However, if he texts you, wait a few moments before responding. If you reply to his texts immediately, the guy may think you are desperate or don’t have a life.

Of course, don’t ignore him or wait to respond for a few days or weeks. He will lose interest in you if you do this. Try to find a balance and feel when it’s time to step aside or tickle his curiosity.

There are many ways to make a man chase you, so use these tips as guidelines and adapt them according to your circumstances.

Make good use of humor

Another way to get a man to chase you is by using humor. Guys love funny and confident girls. So, use your wit to build a bond and encourage flirting to learn more about one another.

The more humorous texts you send, the more he will enjoy chatting with you. Even if the guy texts you first, put some effort into making your answers fun. He might find it addictive messaging to you, and he’ll want to spend time with you.

Starting an inside joke is a great way to keep the conversation flowing. Send your crush a funny meme, cartoon character, or references to things you spoke about. Of course, that doesn’t mean you need to feel pressured or go overboard. Keep it simple! Show him that you are not only pretty but also witty and confident.

Here are some funny texts to send to your crush:

  • So, aside from taking my breath away, what do you do for a living?
  • If you were a vegetable, you would be a cute cucumber.
  • This may be cheesy, but I think you are grating.
  • Do you like my dress? It’s made of girlfriend material.
  • Are you sure you are not tired? Because you have been running through my mind all day.

Spark his curiosity with cliffhanger texts

Sending a guy cliffhanger text is quite exciting. These texts will intrigue him enough to make him want to chat with you to find out the answer. Leaving something unspoken is an excellent way to get him intrigued. When you text him, leave some room for interpretation.

Instead of a boring question, give him a challenging riddle to solve and a promise of reward if he succeeds. It will make a guy curious about you, letting his imagination run wild. He will find it hard to stop thinking about you.

Open-ended questions or cliffhangers will keep him guessing and make him chase you in real life.

Take a cue from the following examples of cliffhangers:

  • Do you know what I dreamt about last night? It made me take a cold shower this morning.
  • I have a great story that I can tell you only in person…
  • I am doing something I probably shouldn’t be doing!
  • Is it bad/wrong/naughty to…?
  • Guess what I am wearing right now?

Send flirty texts

We could all use a little spice in our interactions occasionally. Sending a flirty question to a guy you admire would quickly divert his attention away from whatever was on his mind towards you. He’ll take it as a green light as if you are telling him your true emotions towards him.

Whether you’ve been dating for a few months or have been together for years makes no difference. Being playful with your crush and sending flirty texts back and forth is still fun! It might lead to the first date with him. If he likes you, he’ll love receiving flirty text messages. He will be left thinking about you every moment.

Flirting can be done in many ways. The flirty text message suggestions listed below will get him chasing you:

  • I could text you all night but I would rather be with you in person.
  • I’ll be cooking dinner tonight… What should I make for dessert?
  • Sorry, I don’t have chocolate. But if you want something sweet, I’m right here.
  • You need to come over. I have all your faves- pizza, beer, and of course… Me!
  • Let’s buy a bunch of ingredients and try to invent a new kind of sushi roll! Your place or mine?

Be the last person he talks to before he falls asleep

Do you know we are more vulnerable during the night when we are about to sleep? That’s why we tend to have deep conversations during that time.

Try taking advantage of this fact. Late-night text messages can drive your crush crazy. And if you wonder what text will do the trick, I have a few perfect examples of sweet good-night texts right here. You never know; these texts might make him lose sleep over you.

Receiving good night texts, he’ll see them as a hint that he is the last person to come to your mind before falling asleep. The sincerity will touch this guy’s heart. Who doesn’t like to receive texts that make them feel special?

  • Even though we both are in the wrong place, I will be busy dreaming about you tonight.
  • I was trying to send you something cute. But I don’t think I can fit in this text box. But you know where will I fit? Right in your arms!
  • Good night, darling! I wish I had my head on your chest instead of this pillow.
  • I hope I dream of you tonight because I can’t stand eight hours away from you.
  • I’m already half-asleep, but I just wanted to text you to remind you that I’m smitten with you.

Send him cute good-morning texts

Why not let your crush start his day thinking about you? Send him a heartfelt good morning text to brighten his day and make him aware of your love. This will show him that he is an important person in your life.

Good morning texts will keep your guy thinking about you throughout the day, making him want to see you soon.

Make texting him a routine. Once he gets used to your texts, all of a sudden, skip a day or two. Not receiving a text will make him wonder, and he might phone you. This will reveal whether or not he is interested in you. If the guy doesn’t call or text to check on you, maybe he is not into you.

Here are the best good morning texts to get him to chase you. You can use these texts or create some of your own.

  • I was never a morning person until I met you.
  • I woke up exhausted this morning and spent the night dreaming about you. I can’t wait to see you.
  • Good morning, sleepy head! Missing me yet? You know my morning would be great if I was with you! Have a great day.
  • Do you want to see a picture of a beautiful person? Hold up the mirror.
  • Good morning, handsome! If I had a star for every time you brightened my day, I’d have a galaxy in my hand.
  • I had a dream where you asked me to take you for dinner. So, where would you like to go?

Tease him with your texts

The best thing about sending sexy texts is that you can tease your guy without revealing too much about yourself. And guys like to receive such texts. He might make a daring move if he has a playful conversation.

However, only send seductive texts if you have reached the right stage in your relationship. Otherwise, this strategy may easily backfire. If you send steamy text messages to your crush, you may come across as desperate or as someone interested in one-night stands.

So be playful and know when to make the right move. He will chase you even more if you decide to send him these texts. Here are a few seductive texts that will get him chasing you:

  • Wanna come over? There’s a massive sale in my bedroom – everything is 100% off!
  • Do you know what’s on the menu today? It’s “Me” & “U”
  • What are your weekend plans? If you don’t have any, I can be your weekend plan.
  • What do I have in common with hot chocolate? I’m hot, wet, and sweet.
  • Let’s play a game of Simon says: tell me, what do you want me to do?

Top 9 texts to get him chasing you

Being your authentic self, wise, and hilarious when sending texts is the golden rule to get him chasing you. Use a string of written letters to catch your crush’s attention. Just enough to pique his interest without being a tease. In other words, tell him about the treasure, but let him get to the island and seek the treasure by himself. Leave subtle hints without clarifying your intentions. Here are the top 9 texts that will make him chase you.

1. “So I just had pizza for lunch today, and guess what? I think I like you even more than pizza!”

Send your crush a sweet text like this to make him smile and show him how much you like him. As the saying goes, flattery opens doors.

But remember, a genuine compliment always works the best. Use one of the qualities you like best about your crush as your point of interaction. Sending these kinds of texts will undoubtedly make him think of you.

It’s like killing two birds with one stone: you compliment your guy while clearly showing that you are interested in him. I bet you agree that these are the best texts to receive, which no guy can ignore.

2. “Last night, I had the hottest dream about you…”

Don’t tell your crush the specifics of your dream; mention that you had a vivid dream about him the other night that excited you. Wait for him to ask what it was. Build tension with a text that would tickle his imagination. Use the right words with emojis to make the text more appealing.

The guy won’t be able to stop thinking about you as he continues to ponder on what you dreamed about. He will be left with the only option of texting you back to get answers. His curiosity will intensify if you continue to drop hints like this and become more enthusiastic over time. The point is to keep him interested, so add specifics and say something along the lines: “You kissed me in the dream. Now I am curious if you are a good kisser.”

These “guess what” text messages are the best way to get your man’s attention. He’ll be confused and want to text you soon to ask why or what happened. You might even get lucky, and he may open up about his dream about you. Or maybe texting something like this will make him dream of you.

3. “You looked hot as hell last night. I keep replaying it in my head.”

We all love compliments, don’t we? Friends and relatives frequently compliment most women. However, men’s physical characteristics or appearance are rarely appreciated.

You should know that even guys like to receive compliments. Your crush will feel admired if you say how much you like his personality, style, or haircut. Use terms that will appeal to him and make him feel manly.

Mentioning words like “hot,” “manly,” or “sexy” will make the guy swoon. Any man loves it when a woman makes him feel special, so compliment him regularly in your texts. These are the kinds of texts that will attract him to you.

4. “Words can’t explain how much I miss you, but emojis might.”

You can tell your crush that you miss him more excitingly by sending him a spiced-up missing-you text like this. Making the first move is also an excellent way to make him realize he misses you.

Regularly sending boring, uninspiring “I miss you” texts may not only cause him to stop chasing you but may discourage him from seeing you again.

Try to spice up the ordinary texts “I love you” or “I miss you.” Make them intriguing, and add some emojis to them.

5. “Well, I texted you. What are your other two wishes?”

The ability to flirt is a skill. Good flirty text is a well-rounded combination of wit and humor, something that he can’t resist. Not too much, nor too little. Remember, balance is the key, girl!

Guys love the game of a good chase. A woman who doesn’t seem approachable or available will attract guys. If you text him like this, he may reveal his genuine desire.

If you’re watching a horror movie, text him and say, “I saw something I shouldn’t have,” and he’ll think, what exactly did she watch? One of the easiest ways to flirt with your crush is by using his and your favorite movie quotes or songs to inspire playful conversations. Bring your flirty game on!

6. “If you’re cute, you can call me baby. If you’re nice, you can call me sweetie. But if you’re hot, you can call me tonight!”

Text messages containing jokes are among the most popular when you have a crush or start dating someone. Who wouldn’t want to laugh? Use this text as an example and inspiration.

Men generally think that women who text funny things are amusing and wonderful to spend time with in person.

I’m not proposing you should be the class clown or hang around to make this guy laugh with funny jokes. But if you can make him smile occasionally, you can bet it will increase his desire to spend time with you. Nothing beats light banter with humor.

7. “I’ve been crazy busy all day… Wanna come to distract me?”

This is the flirty innocent text that a guy interested in you will find irresistible. However, I advise you to send this text only to a guy with whom you have been chatting for a while and feel comfortable. Sending it to your crush, who hardly knows who you are, will make the wrong impression of you.

Inviting a guy to your place is rather daring, as you will plant an idea into his head about having a passionate relationship with you. If that’s what you want, naughty texts will do the trick. So when you’re ready to take your relationship to the next level, you can make a bold move.

8. “I have something I want to share. Can you keep a secret?”

This approach of drawing a guy’s attention can be unusual, but it may work for you! The idea is to pique his curiosity and make him feel special. 

Unavoidably, your crush will have to react to your message. He will want to know what you are hiding. It will only take one short message to kindle his interest in chatting with you. He will feel compelled to send you that text that initiates your conversation.

What you want to reveal to him when he texts you back asking about your secret is up to you, but make sure you have a follow-up text. It doesn’t have to be something serious it is even better if it’s something funny and lighthearted, which will also allow you to show your sense of humor. Don’t just type anything that makes no sense.

9. “Oops, I spilled some hot chocolate on me! I am a mess right now… gotta shower… BRB!”

Guys enjoy visualizing what they read and hear. If you tell your guy something about yourself, he will try to picture it. If you send a text message like this, he’ll visualize something seductive that will draw him to you.

He will likely imagine the hot chocolate running down your body as you shower. It’s the ideal method to have him chase you. But don’t pretend or try to say something that has not happened; you want to keep it real.

Texts that direct physically towards you, like “Guess what I am wearing,” will run a guy’s imagination wild. If you send him a text like this, you can expect him to ask you to send him a picture. You can tease him by sending a mirror selfie that doesn’t reveal your face. It’s always better to be safe.

I hope these 9 texts to get him chasing you gave you some inspiration. There is no universal approach that will work for everyone. However, the secret is striking a balance when texting your crush. Ensure that you alternate between sensual and soft, feminine messages.

Guys enjoy texts that are tempting but subtle. Anything that tickles his imagination will make him think about you. Playfully tease him, but know when to take a step back so he can show some initiative, and he will get chasing you.
