INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Remind them of something that connected you in the past to test the waters. Be confident in your connection, and you can ask them a question related to your question as well. For example, you could say, “Hey, I saw the Lakers play yesterday, and I remember how you like them. How have you been? Did you see the game??” You can still bring up a connection that you have without having to give a reason behind why you texted. However, don’t bring up anything heavy from the past to break the ice. Say something like, “Hey, I have been thinking about you lately and all of our fun conversations last summer. How have you been?” Because studies show that girls like guys more if they find them funny, humor is always a smart way to go when you are talking with girls.  You can reference an inside joke that you had or ask her a question as a joke. For example, say something silly like “How long has it been since we ate that giant tamale?” After you have broke the ice, you can ask them questions about how they have been and respond with interest. Try to approximately match the length of texts that they send you and wait time. For example, don’t text them back within a minute with three texts if they answered you with a line or two of text a couple of hours after you texted. Ask follow up questions like, “I didn’t know that you were working at a new restaurant. That’s cool! How do you like it?” If they have been responding to your texts with friendly texts back, you should ask them if they want to get together and catch up in person. If you ask them to get together, suggest an activity that you two could do together. Instead of doing what you have done before, try doing new things and going to new places. If you usually get together and eat, for example, try going somewhere new. Go to a new neighborhood to eat, or make food at your house.

SUMMARY: Send them a text bringing up a connection that you share. Be direct in your text, and tell them you have been thinking about them. Send them a text that is funny or silly. Keep your text conversation going. Suggest getting together to catch up more. Make new connections with them.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If possible, before you start any flirting with her, get to know her and become friendly with her. If she's a girl you like at school, begin by talking to her in class and saying hello in the halls. If that goes well, text her, call her, or ask her to hang out. If you don’t like her as a friend, then you probably shouldn’t be flirting with her. This is also a way to know what her romantic preferences are. If you don't know what her preference is, then try to find out.  You can begin flirting with her, but it may not end up well for you if you find out she is interested in another gender. Have a friend tell her that a girl likes her (no naming names of course) and see what her reaction is. If her reaction doesn't answer your question, then ask her yourself.  To learn her preference on your own, you can first ask if you may ask her a personal question. Then, politely ask what her romantic preference is. If she doesn’t want to answer, don’t push the question. Respect what she says and don’t push it no matter what her answer is. Keep in mind that just because she might be interested in girls, it doesn’t necessarily mean that she will be interested in you. Ask her about past relationships. You can also ask what she looks for in a romantic interest. Be observant about the type of person she seems to like and notice.  You can ask what type of person she is interested in by asking if she likes qualities that describe you. For example, if you have red hair and brown eyes, ask if she’s interested in people with red hair and green eyes. Or, if you play soccer, ask if she’s interested in people that play soccer. Don’t change yourself if you don’t appear to be the type of person she’s interested in. Just because you’re not her usual “type,” doesn’t mean she won’t be interested in who you are individually. Being open with the person you’re interested in is important. Let her know about your past, home life, and childhood. Tell her what your interests are and try to include her in some of them if possible. Talk to her on a daily basis about what you’re doing and how you’re feeling. Suggest that having her as a friend is one of the interesting parts of your life that you like. For example, take her to a movie with you if you are interested in film.

SUMMARY: Be friends with her, if you see her regularly. Ask about her preferences. Learn what type of person she is interested in. Tell her about yourself.
