What to Text Before the First Date: Flirt, Tease & Build the Buzz

So, you’ve got a first date lined up—ooh la la! But now comes the fun part: how do you spice up the pre-date banter and make sure he’s counting down the minutes? A little teasing, a dash of mystery, and just the right amount of sass will set the perfect mood. Ready to text like a pro? Let’s go!

1. Confirming the Plans (Without Sounding Like a Calendar Reminder)

A simple check-in is fine, but why not add a cheeky twist?

  • “Hey you, still ready for tomorrow? Or should I be preparing my best ‘stood-up’ story?”
  • “Just making sure you haven’t chickened out yet. I promise I don’t bite… unless you ask nicely.”
  • “Counting down the hours yet? I hope you’re not expecting me to go easy on you.”

2. Set the Mood With a Tease

A little pre-date flirtation never hurt anyone:

  • “I have a feeling you’re going to make me laugh way too much tomorrow. But don’t get cocky—I have high standards!”
  • “Trying to decide if I should be sweet and charming or keep you on your toes. What’s your preference?”
  • “I have a surprise for you tomorrow, but you’ll have to earn it. Think you can handle the challenge?”

3. Drop a Fun Question

Make him work a little before he gets to see you:

  • “Serious question: If our date had a theme song, what would it be? Choose wisely.”
  • “On a scale of ‘chill’ to ‘show-off,’ how impressive are your flirting skills? I need to know what I’m dealing with.”
  • “Tell me—what’s the one thing I should absolutely know about you before we meet?”

4. Play With Anticipation

A little suspense can go a long way:

  • “I have a tiny surprise for you tomorrow. No hints, but let’s just say it’ll keep you on your toes.”
  • “Can’t decide if I should show you my innocent side or my mischievous side first. Maybe I’ll let you guess…”
  • “Tomorrow’s date could be life-changing… or at the very least, ridiculously fun. No pressure.”

5. A Subtle Compliment (With a Wink)

Boost his ego, but keep it playful:

  • “I already know I’m going to enjoy your company—just need to confirm if your smile is as good in person as it is in my imagination.”
  • “Not gonna lie, I put extra effort into picking out my outfit. Hope you live up to the expectations.”
  • “I have a strong feeling you’re going to impress me tomorrow… but let’s see if you can exceed my expectations.”

6. Add a Little Challenge

Make things even more exciting by turning it into a playful dare:

  • “If you can guess my favorite drink before we meet, I’ll buy you the first round. No Googling!”
  • “I’ll be judging your music taste tomorrow. Hope you’re ready to impress.”
  • “Want a sneak peek at my outfit for tomorrow? Convince me.”

7. Don’t Overthink It—Just Have Fun!

The best texts feel effortless. A little sass, a little intrigue, and a little flirtation will make him eager to meet you. So go ahead—text away and let the countdown to an amazing first date begin!

Just remember: confidence is key, fun is a must, and a little mystery never hurts.

Happy texting—and don’t be afraid to keep him on his toes.
