Flirting is a skill, and a lot factors need to be accounted for when you're flirting. How often have you flirted before? Are you feeling confident with the person you're flirting with? Do you know this person well? Regardless of what you're particular circumstances may be, it's not always easy to flirt, especially when it's over text.

Text messaging inhibits a lot of the communication humans use with each other. You can't see the other person's reactions to what you've said, it's easier to say more out loud than it is to type it in a text, and you can't hear the other person's voice, which often helps you gauge the other person's mood and reaction. These things can leave to a lot of doubt when you're trying to be flirty with someone, but thankfully, this list provides 20 ways to successfully flirt over text message.
