Don't be boring: How to NOT be a dry texter
Dry texting is like watching paint dry, but less thrilling.
Let's be real, when your crush is doling out dry texts, you might feel the desperate urge to keep the conversation alive because they're hotter than a jalapeño in a sauna. As the texting unfolds, the replies keep getting shorter and you might be thinking they are a dry texter. Cut to few months later when you’re re-visiting some old chats and realize, you are the driest texter this whole time.
But life is all about learning. Texting is a huge part of that life. Or maybe you’re not the biggest texter but the person you’re texting is. Dry texts can dampen the wildest of sparks, especially if o are looking to keep things going. “Hey” and ‘Whats up?” cannot be the highlight of your texts.
Here’s what you need to avoid to be termed a boring dry texter.
Aspire to avoid one-word replies
Agreed the text might be a simple yes or no answer but nothing kills excitement than a simple one word reply. No one likes to reply to those. And even if they do, how exactly and how many times can they reply well to “no idea” or “’Sup?”. It is an invitation to close the conversation. Personally, if you do feel like texting one words, follow it up with something interesting relating to the conversation.
Explore the unique
Forget the dull "how are you?" and "What are you doing?" texts. They're about as exciting as watching grass grow. Step up your game with intriguing questions that make them think. Dive into their wildest dreams, unearth childhood adventures, or explore the mysteries of the universe.
Playing hard to get isn’t as attractive as you think
If you are always the one waiting for them to text back, its time to ditch that ideology. This isn’t the 90s. Hit them up first. Give a banger opening line. Flirt it up, if that’s your style. Playing hard to get might dampen their interest in you.
Make emojis and gifs and memes your weapon
Any form of social media has ample amount of text forms to get your feelings across. Show off a funny emoji. Include a meme to convey the appropriate response. Heck, make a GIF of yourself to reply to the conversation. This will get you out of your dry texting rut.
Spread your attention across platforms
Can’t really type ‘cause you’re travelling? Send them Tiktoks, or Instagram reels. Keep the conversation going in platforms even if you are not really texting at that time. This will give you more things to talk about when you are free to text again.
