Interacting with someone of the opposite gender can sometimes be reminiscent of a game of cat and mouse, where it's difficult to determine who is the predator and who is the prey.

You express your affection for him through bold and flirty gestures, such as sending flirtatious text messages and tempting selfies accompanied by playful emojis.

You may have already spent time together, indulged in intimate moments, or had romantic experiences with him. So, when will he finally pick up on the hints and ask you out on a date?

If you've realized that the guy you like is a little bit clueless, we're here to help. We've composed a collection of text messages that will leave your intentions unmistakable and encourage him to ask you out.

TIPS TO MAKE YOURSELF EXTRA DESIRABLE OVER TEXT

Keep in mind that the text templates we've created are just one aspect of the equation. There are additional factors to consider in order to make yourself irresistible and have him begging for more of your time.

Here's the first key point to keep in mind: Don't always respond to him immediately when he sends you a text. The notion of pursuing something that is difficult to obtain often makes it more desirable. On the other hand, being constantly accessible to him conveys the opposite message.

In simpler terms, take a break from your phone every now and then and don't respond to his texts right away. This will build anticipation and leave him longing for more interaction with you. Additionally, this gives you some time to carefully craft a thoughtful response.

Second, avoid overwhelming him with expressions of love. Even if you're certain that you're developing feelings for him, inundating him with overly romantic language too soon can be overwhelming. Instead, try to rein in your emotions and maintain a flirtatious tone in your interactions.

Lastly, don't forget to have a good time! Interacting with him should be a source of excitement and joy, not a cause of stress or anxiety. It may be easier said than done, but try to reduce the amount of overthinking and worries. Simply relax and enjoy the conversation.
