Responding back with a simple “Hey!” shows that you are interested in talking to him. However, at the same time, it lets him know that you expect him to put in a little more work.
“Hey yourself! :)” “Howdy, stranger!” “Hiya!” “Oh hey, ‘sup?”
“Hello” “Hi, how are you?” “Yes?”
“What’s up?” “Hey, what’s happening?” “Hello, what’s new with you?” “How’s it going?”
A heart, a wink, or a kissy face if you’re in a flirty mood. A “meh” emoji if you want to convey that you’re not impressed. A simple smile to show friendly interest. A thinking or puzzled emoji to show that you’re not sure how to respond.
For example, if you want to send back a friendly or flirty greeting, choose a GIF of someone waving, winking, or blowing a kiss. If you’re annoyed or unimpressed, go for an image that reflects those feelings instead, like a “Nope” or an “I got nothing” GIF.
“Oh, hey, cutie!” “What’s up, hot stuff?” “I was just thinking about you. ;)” “Hey, babe! I miss you!”
“So, what are some interesting things that happened to you at work today?” “What did you think about that movie you watched last night?” “How has your weekend been going?”
Say something like, “I’m not super into texting, actually. Could we chat over the phone?” Or, “It would be cool to see your face. Want to take this to FaceTime?” You could also say something like, “I’ve really enjoyed texting with you over the past few weeks. I’d love to get together in person! What would you say to hanging out this weekend?”
Occasionally liking your posts on social media, but never bothering to reach out for a conversation. Not making any effort to meet up with you or move the relationship forward. Constantly making excuses not to see you or talk to you.
For example, you might say something like, “I like you, but I don’t feel like our relationship is really progressing at this point. Can we work on spending more time together?”
If he continues to bother you, block his number.
