How To Keep A Text Conversation Going When You Have Nothing To Say

If you learn how to keep a text conversation going, and have a fun conversation, you can get close to anyone you like and impress anyone you want. Try this!

#1 Be yourself. If you’re used to texting sarcastically, then that’s your style and you shouldn’t change it. This person will learn and get used to the way you text if they like you. Though, I do want to tell you to write with proper words, don’t text like you’re in Junior High School. I mean, “brb” and “idk” are outdated.

#2 Know when to pull out. If you feel the conversation is dying, end it. Just end it before the flame goes out. This doesn’t mean you lost your chance with this person, this just means the conversation ended. Tell them you should get to work or that you have something to do. Then, text them later. But, if you end the conversation, let them know instead of just disappearing.

#3 Bring up details from past conversations. If they spoke to you about the shirt they bought yesterday or the exam they had last week, ask them how it went or how the new shirt looks. I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal. But it is. You remembered a small and somewhat insignificant detail about them. But that detail shows you pay attention, and it keeps them interested.

#4 Don’t multi-text them. Sending twenty texts messages in a row isn’t cute, especially if they’re not texting a lot back in return. If anything, it looks needy and that’s a huge red flag for most people. If you send a text, send one or two in a row and leave them the opportunity to reply. If you want to keep the conversation going, it needs to be a two-way street.

#5 Use memes. Memes are actually a great way to build a connection and keep the conversation going. Memes are light and meant to make people laugh. If you want them to giggle, send them a meme you find funny and see how they react. Maybe they’ll send you one back. It’s a good way to just talk without a reason. And it’s also a great way to start a conversation after the earlier conversation died out.

#6 No one-worded answers. If you’re actually interested in someone, why would you reply with just one word? Drop that habit. If someone gives you a proper text message with a question, then answer it. If you think a one-word answer is playing hard to get, it’s not. In reality, it’s annoying.

#7 If it’s too long of a text, call. We’re in this era where it’s weird to call people, but it’s actually not. Plus, since no one calls each other anymore, it actually shows the person how much you like them. It’s a pretty big move. And if you need to write an essay to them, it’s easier to call them.

Now that you know how to keep a text conversation going, you have no excuse to not put these pointers into use. Try some of these out to keep the conversation lively and fun.
