These texts are designed to burrow into his brain like a catchy pop song you can’t stop humming.

It’s like dangling a string in front of a cat — he can’t help but pounce.
But as Uncle Ben said to Peter Parker, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Use these texts wisely or you might find yourself with a stage-five clinger on your hands. And nobody wants that.

Laughter is like relationship glue — it sticks you together and fills in the cracks. Research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology reveals that “humor can significantly enhance emotional intimacy and overall relationship satisfaction.”[6]
By sending these lighthearted and amusing messages, you’re not only keeping the conversation engaging but also reminding him of the fun and playful connection you share.
Just remember, timing is everything in comedy — and texting. Maybe don’t drop that cute-cumber line when he’s giving a big presentation at work. Unless you want him giggling in front of his boss, in which case, go for it. No judgment here.

Men crave validation just as much as women do, if not more so, even if they act all tough and nonchalant. These messages are like Miracle-Gro for his ego.
They work because they’re specific, genuine, and hit right at the heart of what makes him feel valued. It’s like verbal foreplay for his self-esteem. When you boost his confidence, you’re also cranking up his attraction to you. It’s a win-win situation.
Just make sure you mean what you say, because authenticity is key. Fake flattery is like nonalcoholic beer — what’s even the point?
Conclusion
At the end of the day, your phone is just a tool. A powerful one, sure, but it’s not magic. These texts aren’t some Jedi mind trick to make him fall head over heels. They’re more like a nudge in the right direction.
Remember to keep it light and fun; you’re not writing a novel here. Be genuine. If it doesn’t sound like you, don’t send it. Also, respect boundaries. If he’s not reciprocating, take the hint. Lastly, mix it up. Don’t just copy-paste these examples — use them as inspiration.
But the real secret to texts that will make him want you is to be yourself. Yeah, I know, it sounds cheesy, but it’s true. The right guy will want you for you, not for your texting game.
