Be A Not-So-Secret Admirer & Send Your Crush These Flirty V-Day Texts

Julia Heming

There is simply nothing as thrilling as sending a risky text to your crush. It gives me that same rush of adrenaline and excitement as when I was in middle school. But, TBH, it almost feels better as an adult to take a sip of wine, send the text, throw your phone on the bed, and squeal into a pillow. (If you aren’t doing that, you might be flirting wrong.) And, with Valentine’s Day around the corner, now is the perfect time to send a flirty Valentine’s text to your crush.

If you are chronically single like me, this is the perfect time to start flirting with your crush (and hopefully your future Valentine). I get so nervous thinking of the perfect thing to say to my crush and, honestly, I feel like some pickup lines or flirty texts can sound so incredibly cliche. But if there’s a holiday approaching, like Valentine’s Day, a seasonally relevant line can show that you are interested in spending the holiday with them. 

Don’t stress too much about what you are going to say, or how they are going to respond. Flirting is definitely an art that takes confidence. So, go pour yourself some wine (or a mocktail), hype yourself up in the mirror, and press send without thinking too much about it. This could be the start of a great relationship or even just a fantastic dating story to spill to your besties.

Roses are red, violets are blue; I sure am glad I swiped right on you.

The perfect way to flirt with your most recent dating app match. 

They can’t fit what I feel for you on a conversation heart.

This great way to subtly lead to a deeper conversation. 

I bet your kisses put Hershey’s to shame.

Fingers crossed they suggest trying them sometime. 

You’re just the type of cutie pie I ordered for Valentine’s Day.

Compliments are always helpful. 

Ugh, I lost my favorite teddy bear — can I snuggle with you instead?

Brace yourself for the “come over” response. 

Are you tired? Because you have been running through my mind all day. 

Not super V-Day related but definitely a good line n

I’m sorry I didn’t get you chocolates for Valentine’s Day… but if you want something sweet, then I’m right here.

Honestly, the perfect way to suggest playing with some whipped cream or chocolate sauce when you get down and dirty for the holiday. 

Do you like Valentine’s Day sales? Because clothing is 100% off at my place.

Warning! This will lead to some spicy responses. 

Your lips look lonely. Let me introduce them to mine.

I’m a girl who loves a good makeout session. 

I’m no photographer, but I can picture us together.

Say cheese! 

Want to be my “ate” this Valentine’s Day? You can give me the “D” later.

I can feel the sparks from here. 

Are you a light switch? Because you really turn me on.

This pun is sure to brighten their day.  

Remember me? No? Oh, that’s alright, I’ve only met you in my dreams.

Here’s to hoping that they respond by following up with “I’d love to see you tonight.”

Hey, I was reading Numbers last night, and I realized I don’t have yours. 

Another great line to use on a dating app! 

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to be a little bold. So, if you have a special someone, don’t be afraid to send a spicy text — you may be glad you did.
