Sending a short burst of texts in a row isn’t considered double texting. If you’re telling a long story, sending it in small chunks makes it easier to read than a long paragraph.

First text: “SO excited to see you tonight. Where are we going?”Second text: “I’m just about to leave 😊 What’s the address again?” First text: “OMG do you want to go to the Harry Styles concert with me?”Second text: “Tickets are going pretty fast! Let me know if I should snag some for us!”

Other things you could try include cooking a meal, taking a walk, or cleaning up around your home.

Even if the person is normally quick to respond, they could be busy with something right now and can’t get to their phone.

Writing long, thoughtful replies to your messages Asking you questions about how you’re feeling or what you’re doing Showing interest in spending time with you Giving you compliments Teasing you in a playful way Sending emojis, voice messages, and pictures

Giving the person more time also gives them a chance to miss you. Once they realize they haven’t heard from you, they’ll check up and see the text they missed.

Replying with a sarcastic response about why they didn’t reply could sound a little mean since your tone can be hard to read.

“Hey quick question! Would you rather vacation for a week at the beach or in a quiet cabin on a lake?” “Hi hi 😄 How was that concert last night? I remember you were so excited to go” “Hey you! Did you have anything exciting happen at work today?”

“OMG I just had the most amazing work day 😊 You won’t believe who I ran into!” “Our study sessions really paid off because I ACED that test! Thank you SO much for your help 🥰” “Hi!! I got some amazing news! Let me know when you see this so I can tell you all about it!”

“Hey you 😊 hope you’ve been doing well! Wanna catch up this weekend?” “Hi 😄 you’ve been on my mind today. How have you been?” “Hey! I’m at the cafe where we met up last week and it reminded me of you. What’s up?”
