How to Start a Text Conversation

The easiest opening is usually the one that gives the other person a clear reason to reply.

Use context before cleverness

Bring up something you both experienced, a recommendation she gave you, or a detail you genuinely noticed.

Keep the first message light

You do not need a perfect opener. One or two sentences is enough. Avoid sending multiple follow-ups before she has replied.

Good openings invite, not demand

A useful opening creates an easy next step while leaving room for the other person to engage at her own pace.
