Method 1 of 3: Send a good opening text

1. Send a message about something you did together. When you've done something together, use your last meeting as a starting point. Find something innocent about which he or she can express an opinion. That's how you start the conversation.
   • For example, say, "What a great restaurant that was. I'm completely full! "
   • You can also send a message about a class you had together. "Oh, how boring today's class was. I will be happy when this topic is completed. "
2. Ask a Question. By immediately asking a question in your opening sentence, you put the ball at him or her. You will notice if you get an answer or if you are being ignored. If you receive another question as an answer, respond immediately.
   • A simple question is fine. For example, ask, "What are your plans for King's Day?" Or "Where did you buy that shirt? I want to have a look there too. "
3. Send a striking message. A pinch of humor is always good. Do not send dry text such as "Hi" or "How are you?" As your opening line. You're more likely to get a reply to a message they don't see every day.
   • Say something funny like, "I just cycled six miles to the Gamma and when I got to the checkout, I found out that my cards were still at home. Is your day going that well? "
4. If they don't have your number, say who you are right away. It may seem exciting to get a message from a stranger, but if it takes too long it gets creepy. So don't wait too long to mention the name.
   • Say something like, "Guess who this is: Tinie from dance class." Or "Hi Sophie, this is Mark. I have your number from Claire. "
5. Do it. The only way you can chat with someone is by doing it. When you have his or her contact information and you're too scared to send a message, it's never going to happen. Do not wait too long, because then you will think about it too much and the objections will grow bigger. The worst that can happen is that you don't get a message, and that's no worse than not taking the initiative.

Method 2 of 3: Send the correct messages

1. Use often and lots of emojis. Emojis are very useful because the other person cannot see your face and therefore does not know when you are serious or ironic. Therefore, use an emoji to indicate how you feel. Don't replace every word with an emoji, because that's a bit too much.
   • For example, say, "Chemistry was super interesting. :) "
   • Or say, "Chemistry is so interesting. : | "
2. Feel free to take the time between your messages. This may seem like the opposite of the previous advice, but it does build tension. When you send a message too often and quickly, it quickly becomes boring or even intrusive for your chat partner. Just be yourself and take it easy. This approach also gives the other person the opportunity to think through his or her message, so that the chat gets more depth.
3. Send photos of what you are doing. In this way you give the other person the opportunity to get to know you. Keep in mind that photos of your genitals are almost never appreciated and don't send too many selfies. Just send some nice photos to keep your conversation partner interested, so that you can expect a counter message.
4. Keep the chat a little light. Long and elaborate messages about serious matters often do not get across well. These types of conversations are better conducted over the phone or when you meet in person.
   • Don't be afraid to respond to candid messages. Let the other person decide what he or she wants to talk about.
   • Light conversations are about your daytime activities, fun films or performances, or about popular music.
5. Send appropriate messages. The intention is that your conversation partner feels at ease and that the messages match your relationship with each other. When you're just friends, you can embarrass the other person by flirting. When you are already at this stage, you can make some compliments and daring comments.
   • When the other person doesn't answer, it means he or she is too busy or just not interested in you. In both cases, you no longer send messages, but you wait and see if and when you receive a reply.
   • For example, if you're just friends, write, "Hey, I'm bored. Do you know something fun to do? "
   • When you're more than friends, it becomes "Hey, I'm bored. I bet you know a fun game! ;) "

Method 3 of 3: Keep the conversation going

1. Ask questions about the other. It's always a good idea to ask people questions about themselves. Read carefully what they answer and then ask about it again. When people tell you about their life, they want to share more and more with you in the chat.
2. Do not judge. When you have gained his or her trust, the conversation often becomes confidential. Never judge information that someone communicates to you in confidence. Instead, respond understandingly.
   • When you immediately have your judgment on what the other person is saying, he or she will think twice in the future to share something with you. Maybe this person doesn't even want to chat with you at all.
3. Don't be afraid to be yourself. Don't hesitate too much about your posts by reading and correcting them over and over again. Stop when you do this. When you are now yourself in this first chat, it will be easier the following times as well. Be yourself and stop censoring yourself constantly.
4. Go with the flow. Sometimes a chat gets interesting, but you can't really control it. Just see where the conversation leads. Listen to what the other has to say and get candid when they get it too. Wait for the right time to ask more intimate questions or when you want to propose a date.
   • Don't get personal too quickly, because that will backfire.
5. Don't send too many messages if you don't get a response. Pushiness or immediately sending 20 messages does not make a good impression at all. This can even make him or her ignore you and want nothing to do with you anymore. Take it easy and wait for an answer. Maybe the other person is busy and therefore you don't get an answer right away.
   • In general, it is best to wait for a reply after two messages before sending again.
