Building a solid relationship with your boyfriend’s mom is almost as important as maintaining a strong relationship with your boyfriend. A great way to strengthen your bond and show her that you’re interested is to text her throughout the week. We’ve compiled some things you can talk to her about to spark fun, lively text conversations. Keep reading to learn what to say, how to say it, and which topics to avoid with your boyfriend’s mom.
Things You Should Know
- Be authentic to win her over. Stuffy texts like, "Hello, how are you today?" feel less engaging than something more you, like: "Hey hey! How are ya? 😄"
- Craft texts that show off your kind, thoughtful nature. For instance, message her when you see something she'd like and compliment her relationship with her son.
- Show that you're interested in who she is as a person by regularly asking her about her passions and upcoming events: "When is your next art showcase? 🎨"
