30 Texts To Send To Someone After A Hookup So You Stay On Their Mind

Why is it always so weird to send that first message after sex? You'd think that — after having been so intimately acquainted — you'd be more relaxed, but no, it's actually even harder to know what to text a guy the morning after. What is the post-hookup text etiquette? How are you supposed to know what to text after sex? Is it OK to reach out, or are you supposed to wait and let them make the first move? Waiting is definitely a viable option, as it gives you a chance to gauge their interest, but it also means waiting around for someone else. And ain't nobody got time for that.

The best texts to send someone after you hook up find a balance between not coming off as clingy but also letting the person know you had fun and wouldn't mind a repeat performance. In my experience, the key to sending that first message after a night of fun is to keep it short, light, flirty, and direct. Does that sound overly complicated? I promise it doesn't have to be. Here are 30 tried and tested messages for when you've got afterglow writer’s block and aren’t sure what to text a guy after a hookup.
