Going on a first date can be a mix of excitement, butterflies, and even a tiny bit of anxiety.
One of the easiest ways to get rid of those jitters and really connect with your date is to get to know each other before meeting in person.
One way to do it is to flirt and tease each other to see how the chemistry works out before you even see each other face-to-face.
Flirty texts are a fun, low-pressure way to show your personality and create anticipation for that first date.
But, let’s face it, flirting can be a bit of a minefield.
You want to be playful, but not too forward; funny, but not cheesy. You want to show your interest, but you don’t want to come off as desperate.
So to make it easier for you we put together a long list of funny, witty, and flirty text messages you can use when messaging your crush before the first date.
