We live in a time when technology is everywhere and everyone is busy. Finding time for a loved one can be hard, so plenty of couples keep the spark alive through flirty texting. How else do you keep your Baller interested when he has an away game? Before you pick up your phone, here are some ground rules designed to protect you. Add your own in the comments.
1. Protect your identity. This one is especially for Ballers and other public figures. Your face and tattoos are dead giveaways, and as plenty of public figures have learned the hard way, people can be careless with private messages. The safest move is to never send anything you would not want the whole world to see.
2. Mood is everything. Stay prompt with your replies. The longer the delay, the more the vibe fades. If you are busy, wait until you can give the conversation your attention, and keep your partner interested too.
3. Watch your emojis. Smiley faces read as funny, not flirty. Pairing a bold message with a goofy emoji can kill the mood.
4. Mind the clock. Skip the flirting during church hours and remember your partner may be busy at work. Late at night, when you are apart and missing each other, is usually the sweet spot.
5. Keep it suggestive until the interest is mutual. The point is for both people to enjoy it. Do not push on someone who is busy or not feeling it. A few sweet words about missing them and wanting to see them is a great place to start, and you can gauge the response from there.
6. Confidence beats everything. You do not need to be a professional to sound charming. Be playful, be yourself, and keep the compliments genuine.
Made to order and shipped to your door.
7. Be careful who you trust. This should probably be rule number one. If someone has ever posted a screenshot of a private conversation to embarrass a person, they should not be on your list of people to text. Do not hand your private messages to anyone who has shown signs of putting people on blast.
