Top Tips On How To Text Guys

Man lying down smiling and texting

What with being stuck at home, we’re having to find new ways to date and get to know people.

If you’ve never tried it before, text chat can be a great way to get to know guys, and now you’ve got all this spare time, what else are you going to do?!

Here are our top tips on texting guys and getting that conversation started.

Don’t leave it ages between messages.

We’re not saying you need to reply as soon as you receive the message, you don’t want to seem overly keen! But just reply as and when you have a moment to sit and read what you’ve received.

Try and keep on top of your spelling and grammar.

You might not thing it’s important, but they might. If you’re really paying attention to what they’re saying and putting effort into your replies, they’ll know, and it’ll get you in their good books!

You can still flirt!

Even though the conversation is written down rather than face to face, you can still be cheeky and flirty. This is a good time to be using emojis so they know what your intentions are!

Text them first.

When you get up in the morning, maybe whilst you’re having your cuppa or eating your toast, send them a quick message to say you hope they have a nice day. It means a lot and will open up the communication channel for the day.

Don’t ghost them.

Vanishing off the face of the earth is one of the worst things you can do! Apart from being upsetting, it lacks respect for the other person. If you’re not feeling it and don’t want to take things further then do the right thing and tell them. (You don’t need to be rude, though!).

Ten Topics To Avoid On A First Date

You want to secure a second date so make sure you avoid talking about these topics.

 

  1. Politics.

You don’t need to know what their persuasion is on a first date. This could affect how much you like them/how well the date goes and there’s no need to talk about it. Keep conversation light hearted and get to know each other.

 

  1. Previous partners.

Do you really want to know what their last partner was like? You’ll probably just end up comparing yourself to them which is never a good thing. You also probably don’t want to know how many previous partners they’ve had or how many dates they’ve been on – it’s never what you want to hear!

 

  1. Money.

Never ask how much they earn or tell them how much you earn. Either way you won’t come across well. Keep it to simpler topics like hobbies or even just what they do for work.

 

  1. Religion.

Religion can be a very personal subject. Many people will not agree on religious subjects so it’s best not to bring this into conversation.

 

  1. Marriage/children.

This is definitely not a topic for a first date! You don’t want to scare them off so don’t bring up commitment until you’re both sure that’s where your relationship is heading.

 

  1. Work.

You can absolutely find out what each other does for a living but don’t moan about not liking your job or how much you dislike your colleague – your date isn’t interested! Also you don’t know if your date knows anyone you work with so it’s best not to moan about them!

 

  1. Yourself.

You will of course be talking about yourself when your date asks questions about you but don’t keep talking about yourself unprompted. Ask your date questions about themselves rather than banging on about yourself all the time.

 

  1. What you’re looking for.

Don’t get into a conversation about what sort of person you’re looking for, it only shows you as being high maintenance or picky (you’re allowed to be picky, just don’t let them know that!).

 

  1. Your own appearance.

If you put yourself down, your date won’t find this attractive. If you big yourself up they won’t find this attractive either. Let them compliment you if they want to and by all means compliment them but don’t mention your own appearance.

 

  1. Your family background.

By all means tell them how many siblings you have but there’s no need for any more detail than that, they’re on a date with you, not your entire family!

Top Ten Tips For Dating On A Chatline

Don’t fancy online dating or haven’t had much success? Give Gay Adult Chat a try and chat with people on your phone!
 

  • If you don’t like the sound of their voice, don’t be put off! People can sound totally different on the phone to how they do in person so if you get on and want to meet up then go for it!
  • If you do get to the point where you decide you want to meet up with them then please be sensible about it. Tell a friend where you are going and make sure you meet them in a public place at a sensible time of day.
  • Don’t give out your personal information on the chat line. If you decide you want to meet up with someone, make the arrangements through the chatline – it’s better to be safe and cautious when meeting people.
  • Set up a personal mailbox so guys can leave you messages when you are not online. It’s easy to do and you get your own account number and PIN so you can access it any time.
  • Record a good introduction message about yourself. Try not to make it too long but you want people to like the sound of you so make sure to highlight your best qualities!
  • Too shy to speak to people directly? Then send a voice message to their mailbox first or even try our text chat service. People text much more than they talk on the phone so why not give it a try?!
  • A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not upload a picture of yourself so guys can download it and check you out?! Please do keep them clean though, otherwise they won’t get past the moderation team.
  • If someone is being nasty, obscene or rude on the service then please report them to the moderators and bar them from contacting you.
  • If you call the service a lot then you might want to try setting up a pre-paid credit card account which will allow you to call the service at a cheaper rate so you’ll get more talk time for your money.
  • Remember to have fun and enjoy it. Dating shouldn’t turn into a chore. Chat and be yourself and this could help you find that special someone.
