If you’ve received a text from a guy or girl that says “thinking of you,” you might be looking for a suitable way to respond. This article will help you to come up with some flirty text messages you can use that will really get the ball rolling for you.
The preferred responses include “only good things, I hope,” “I’ve been thinking of you too,” and “do tell.” These responses are subtle, but their flirtatious nature is what helps them to stand out. They work really well if you’re trying to be coy or flirty in your text.
Only Good Things, I Hope
“Only good things, I hope” is a jokey and flirty phrase you can use as a response. It allows you to try and figure out what they might be thinking about without directly asking them to elaborate on their thoughts.
“I hope” is key here. It shows that you’re hoping they’re thinking about “good things” to do with you.
Most people that are interested in you would then elaborate on their thoughts to show you that they are only good things. It gives them a chance to explain what you really mean to them, which could be a really nice thing to hear.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- Only good things, I hope. I don’t want you to get the wrong idea about me.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- Only good things, I’m sure. I look forward to seeing you again soon to talk about these things.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- Only good things, I hope. I don’t know why you’d think about anything but positive thoughts with me!
I’ve Been Thinking Of You Too
“I’ve been thinking of you too” is a simple response. It works in a flirty manner by turning the statement back around on the original texter. Adding “too” to the end of the sentence is all you need to do to show that you’re returning the kind words to them.
Some people might think this is an easy way out. If you want to show that you are interested and like the flirty side of texting, it might be worth including a little bit extra after the original message.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- I’ve been thinking about you too. I can’t wait until we get a chance to see each other again.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- I’ve been thinking of you too. I need you here with me now. I don’t think I can wait any longer.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- I’ve been thinking of you too. I wish there were more chances for us to get together and see each other.
Do Tell
“Do tell” is a fun way to learn what kind of thoughts the texter had. It’s an informal phrase that asks someone to explain their thoughts by “telling” you what they were thinking of.
This is a very good response that generally gets a flirtatious reply from the original texter. It also gives you a chance to learn more about what they think of you, which could help you to understand more about your connection.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- Do tell. Don’t worry; I won’t tell anyone else about what you’re thinking.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- Do tell. I’m eager to hear what you might be saying about me in your mind.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- Do tell. I know you’ve got something juicy going on in that brain of yours!
Go On
“Go on” is a similar response to “do tell.” It leaves the ball in the court of the texter, allowing them to elaborate on what they might be thinking.
While “thinking of you” can be an innocent comment, it’s still worth trying to find out what kind of thoughts crossed their minds. If you’re interested in that side of your relationship, it’s worth diving deeper by using “go on.”
- I’ve been thinking about you.
- Go on. I’m all ears. I’d love to know what you were thinking about.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- Go on. I’m listening! What were you thinking about exactly?
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- Oh? Go on. Tell me everything that crossed your mind.
Was It R-Rated?
“Was it R-rated” is an obvious flirty response that does not worry about being subtle. It suggests that you’re interested in taking your romantic relationship of conversation to a sexual level. You have to make sure you’re ready for this before using this response.
It could be fun to discuss this type of thing with someone you’re involved with. As long as you’ve given it enough time to let yourself feel comfortable at that stage of your relationship, this question works well.
It’s a cheeky response that is bound to get a good conversation out of your partner.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- Was it R-rated? I hope it was. I’ve been thinking of you too.
- I’ve been thinking about you.
- Was it R-rated? I know what your thoughts can be like when you’re left alone with them.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- Oh? Was it R-rated? I’m sure I have a few ideas of what you might have been thinking about.
I Wish You Were Here
“I wish you were here” is a good loving response that works well. It shows that you are thinking about the other person too, though the thoughts aren’t nearly the same as them being physically with you.
“Wish you were here” shows that you can’t think of anything but the texter being next to you. You wish you could spend more time with them because you don’t like that they’re so far away from you at the moment of texting.
While it doesn’t outright say that you are thinking of them, it is implied through the context.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- I wish you were here. Then we wouldn’t have to think about each other, and we can just enjoy each other’s company.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- I wish you were here. There’s so much that I’d love to do with you right now. I just wish you were local.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- I wish you were here. I want to show you how much you mean to me personally.
You’ll See Me Soon
“You’ll see me soon” is a good flirtatious response that shows you’re open to meeting the person you’re texting. This one works best when you’ve already arranged a time when you might meet the texter again.
It could also be a good flirty text if you haven’t planned to meet them yet. “You’ll see me soon” could be a more mysterious phrase that shows you’re willing to meet them, but it doesn’t give them a direct time of when that meeting might take place.
It’ll get them to think about you even more, as they’ll be thinking about when they might get the chance to see you.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- Don’t worry; you’ll see me soon. I won’t keep you waiting for long.
- I’ve been thinking about you.
- You’ll see me soon. I can’t go much longer without having you near me.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- You’ll see me soon. I’ll make sure of that!
That’s So Sweet
“That’s so sweet” is a simple response that works well. It can be flirty, but some people also think it’s a bit of a brush-off comment that people use when they’re not interested. Make sure you understand the tone behind it before using it.
If you only say, “that’s so sweet,” it’s likely that the texter will think you’re not interested. If you can follow it up with something that shows you care or that you’re interested in them, you’ll be able to spare their feelings.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- That’s so sweet. Of course, I’ve been thinking about you as well.
- I’ve been thinking about you.
- That’s so sweet. I can’t seem to get you out of my thoughts either.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- That’s so sweet. Thank you for being so loving.
I Really Miss You
“I really miss you” is a good response that works well if you’re texting with a loved one of some kind. It is flirty, and it works best when you have met the person many times before but you’ve been away from them for a long time.
Obviously, people miss others for different reasons. As long as you are romantically involved with the person you’re texting, “I really miss you” could be a good way of showing that you can’t wait to see them again.
It doesn’t directly suggest that they are in your thoughts, but it is implied through the context of the text conversation.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- I really miss you. I hope we get to see each other again soon.
- I’ve been thinking about you.
- Aw. I really miss you too. I really can’t wait to see you again.
- I’ve been thinking of you.
- Aw. I really miss you. I can’t stop thinking about you.
