There’s no magic number of messages you should go for, but in general, 5 to 10 messages back and forth is the minimum.
For instance, after he posts a meme you might say, “LOL, where the heck did you find this??” In response to a cute selfie, you might say, “Wow, you’re a sight for sore eyes. You look great!”
“That picture you took of the mountain is so nice! I feel like I’m actually there. ” “You have such a nice smile!”
“What do you get up to on the weekends?” “Who have you been hanging out with lately?” “Do you have any pets?”
For instance, if you both like rock climbing, you might say, “Heading to the climb center this weekend?” If you checked out his profile and realized that you both love going hiking, you might say, “I just saw that pic you posted on your hike! That’s such a beautiful view, where is it?”
“Wow, you’ve never been to Disneyland? Idk if I can keep talking to you, lol. ” “You got that project done early! Trying to get on the boss’s good side, huh? 😉”
“Missed you at work today! ❤️” “Your hair looked really nice today 😘”
“Any big plans this weekend?” “Are you free at all next week?”
Plus, a lot of guys aren’t used to getting asked out, so you might have to make it really obvious.
“Do you wanna go frisbee golfing with me on Saturday? We could grab drinks afterward. ” “There’s a new coffee shop downtown I wanted to try. Want to meet me there after work on Tuesday?”
You could say something like, “Awesome! So Friday at 2:00 then?”
Rejection is rarely ever about you as a person. More often than not, someone saying no to a date is doing it because they’re dealing with their own problems.
