Texting your crush is a great way to get to know them better, but when it comes to telling them how you really feel, how do you do it? The good news is you don’t need to be Shakespeare to express your feelings to your crush. We’ve made a list of different templates to help you share your emotions over text or DM, whether you’re looking for inspo for a sweet text message to show you care, a cheerful good morning text, or a message that will tell your crush how you really feel about them. Feel free to mix and match, tweak them to suit your needs, or just use them as a jumping-off point! Check them out, below!
Steps
Customization Tips
- Tailor your text to your crush’s experience, if possible. They’re sure to appreciate a friendly, supportive text message, but your message will be especially meaningful if you know they’ve got something particularly hectic or stressful planned, like a job interview or a math exam. The more you can tailor your text to your crush’s situation, the more meaningful they’ll find it.
- Customizing your text to reflect your crush’s mood, personality, daily schedule, upcoming plans, or life experience will show them you’re paying attention to them—a subtle way to show you care for them that they’re sure to appreciate!
- Keep your message surface-level if you don't know them well. Whether you’ve only just begun chatting or you’re tiptoeing towards relationship territory, everyone likes to get a friendly, encouraging text message, but the depth and vulnerability you display in your text message will depend on how close you are to your crush. If your crush gave you their number yesterday, it’s probably best not to send them a block of text about how you’re both soulmates. Take it slow!
- Start with a cheerful, lowkey good morning text instead that makes it clear you like them, but that doesn’t come on too strongly.
- Dole out sincere but lighthearted compliments, or grab their attention by letting them know you’re thinking about them. Maybe include a meme you think they’ll love.
- Get a little more vulnerable if you’ve been talking for a while. If you’ve built a solid foundation with your crush and you think they might have feelings for you too, you can be a bit more vulnerable with your message. A raw, honest message about how much your crush means to you is sure to create a stronger connection between you both.[1]
- A sincere text to let them know how much joy and peace they bring to your life is sure to make them smile—and draw them closer to you.[2]
- If you haven’t shared your true feelings with your crush yet, a text or DM can be a great way to tell them you love them without the pressure of a face-to-face confession.
- When confessing your feelings, you can play it cool and practical and let them know you’d like to try going out on a date, or lay your feelings out on the table and tell them you’re head-over-heels in love. Regardless, be open and sincere—and then leave the ball in their court.
