Our conversation starters for texting are perfect for making that first impression and creating initial interest.
The last thing that you want to do is make some easy to avoid mistakes when trying to get a conversation started and a connection made.
Your goal is to meet in real life but the reality is that first you need to build interest and that is mostly done by texting.
Each of our conversation starters are for different points in your relationship, so pick the ones that fit yours!
We have an assortment of great texts to send, such as good morning texts, good night texts, flirty texts, icebreaker texts & I miss you texts.
A couple of the questions are relevant to the situation that we are all in right now, having to “stay in.”

How do you start a conversation over text?
- Everyone loves to talk about themselves so let them.
- Start the conversation with our conversation starters and then listen.
- Keep the conversation going by responding to what they say.
- Just be curious.
How do you start a fun conversation?
- Be interesting, never just ask “What’s up,” or the horrible “hi” or “hey.”
Use a conversation starter from the above list to help you make it interesting.
If the conversation lags…wait until they text before you text again.
If you decide to text after a while, (don’t ask why they didn’t text back) you could say something like “I had the best day.”
This is what I call a conversation “hook,” this allows for their curiosity to be piqued and hopefully they will answer.
- Follow up. If they talk about a movie or TV show that they really like, you could ask if they would like some company the next time that they watch the show.
Make sure that you pay attention and follow up on things that they may have mentioned. This is a simple way to show them that you are interested in what they have to say.
- Don’t push. Conversations have a push and pull. You need to ask the questions and then listen and pull back. Try not to text them again until they text you back.
- Read your texts out loud. Before you send a text make sure that you re read it first. You want to make sure that it sounds the way that you want it to before sending.
Remember to text the way that you would talk. You want the texts that you send to be something that you would actually say in real life.
- Don’t always initiate. Let them take the initiative also. If you are the one that is always starting the conversation, this may tell you that they are not really interested.
If that’s the case then you should move on to someone that is showing interest also.
