Text Flirting: Desi Style

I couldn’t comprehend texting (SMS – Short Messaging Service) – I didn’t need it, it wasn’t for me. It took eternity to type a message; chiefly because the 26-lettered alphabet is dispersed within just 9 number keys, not to mention the punctuation as well. Getting over my typing hurdle, I decided to give it a try. It turned out that texting was easy and even amusing. The simplest was forwarding jokes. Though, I shouldn’t have done it, I can text while driving – I’ve got mad skills. Ironically, now I can’t understand those people that block text messages. The frequent text forwards I used to get have dwindled, which led me to endeavor to look for some good text forwards. Let me say, in this venture I have come across some really dreadful texts, but there have been some noteworthy SMSs.

In my research, I came across an article, “Flirting by Text Message, Indians Test Social Limits”; it discusses how Indians use Text Messages or SMS to flirt in society where verbally flirting in public is difficult (but not impossible). I believe that flirting by text is genius and as in the article it is okay to text flirt with more than one person at a time. In stating whether or not, I flirt by text – I will have to plead the Fifth. I also read some Text Flirting Etiquette and a How to Guide, that would be useful to novice texter or the experienced.

For the wannabe cellular Casanova, that have so much smoothness in them, but doesn’t know what to say, I’ve compiled a list of some good flirtatious text messages.
While you may classify some as being cheesy, they are generally sweet and will bring a smile to the intended reader’s face. To start the list, a text message about flirting: “Flirting is the only job in the world that we cannot include in our CV/Resume.. Despite having years of experience and a number of references”. The categories are just suggestions, no need to follow the path.

Text flirting with someone you have a brief acquaintance with:
1) _________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
Hey there Hottie, I am totally line maaring you! [THIS IS SHEEL SHAH ORIGNAL – Gotta love it]

2) Na Bottle Main Na Jar Main
Na Restaurant Main Na Bar Main
Na Bike Pe Na Car Main
Hum To Bus Din Guzartain Hain
Aap Ke Milne Ke Intezar Main

3) Somewhere, someone dreams of your smile
and finds your presence in life so worth while.
So when you are lonely, remember it's true –
someone, somewhere, is thinking of you.

4) Sometimes words are so hard to find,
to say that one perfect line,
to let you know you're always on my mind!

Text flirting with someone you are friends with:
1) Who is Hot? It's U
Who is Charming? It's U
Who is Sweet? It's U
Who is Smart? It's U
Don't get too full of yourself, some hottie just sent this to me
OR
Zyada khush hone ke zaroorat nahi hai, some hottie just sent this to me

2) Those beautiful eyes, that incredible body, such a brain, sexy lips, nice smile....
but that is enough about me, tell me how are you?

3) I think you are very careless! You come & leave things behind! See what you’ve just left behind. You just came in my mind and left a smile on my face.

4) Always be happy; always wear a smile; not because life is full of reasons to smile but because your smile itself is a reason for many others to smile!

5) When the night comes, look at the sky.
If you see a falling star, don't wonder why,
just make a wish. Trust me it will come true,
'cause I did it and I found you.

And to take it up a notch:
1) Hello!! What's wrong with your cell? Tried so many times but every time I call it says: The subscriber you are trying to reach is in your heart!

2) If a big fat man creeps into your bedroom one night and stuffs you into a bag, Then do not worry 'cause I told Santa I wanted you for Christmas!

3) I love your eyes, I love your smile. I cherish your ways, I adore your style. What can I say? You are one of a kind and 24/7, you are on my mind!

4) Hearts can Skip a beat 4 a while
Memories can b kept in the file
A desert can b replaced by the Nile
But nothin can stop my smile
when ur name appears on my MOBILE

If now you know what you want to say, but still want to be anonymous, when you send it out, here’s a site that allows you to do just that.

As a warning, please don’t have an entire relationship that initiates, flourishes and finally gets extinguished via text. Text Flirting is basically the first step or one of the steps; other interaction and communication is key. Also, while you can send pick-up lines through texting, I feel that pick-up lines are too cheap to be sent via text.

Happy Text Flirting!!
