He shares a series of playful, attention‑grabbing text messages designed to create tension, intrigue, and attraction during social‑distancing. Examples include teasing “you’re so annoying” framed as a compliment, sending fashion‑related compliments, hinting at “trouble” between the two, reserving a seat in a couch, and witty replies to generic “thinking of you” messages. Matthew also suggests using pandemic‑themed humor (e.g., referencing the movie Contagion to ask for a cuddle) and offers a free guide at 9texts.com that provides nine additional flirt‑focused texts. The episode balances promotional content with actionable dating advice, emphasizing the need for playful, confident communication rather than heavy, pandemic‑focused dialogue.

Hey guys, something a little more light-hearted this week. I know we've been going through a difficult time together, but I thought we'd have a bit of fun with something different. This is a live I did on TikTok where I gave out a bunch of different messages that you can send to someone that you're not with right now to create tension and flirt. Check them out. All right, one great text you can send is send the person that you're talking to a message that says, you,'re so annoying. Now that's gonna pique their interest. They're gonna ask why. When they say why, you say, because you're one of the main people who's making staying at home so difficult right now. Okay? That's such a beautiful, sweet, playful message, and it's such a flirt. You know what? You're so annoying. Why? Because you're one of the main people in my life making staying at home so difficult right now. If you see an outfit, let's say you're watching TikTok, you see a video where someone like, Ladies, let's say you see a guy wearing an outfit in a TikTok video, and you think, oh, that's a really cool jacket. That's a really cool shirt. Take a picture of that or share that TikTok with him and say, this jacket, this shirt would look really hot on you. This one's a little, I'm gonna say this one's for someone you're seeing, maybe not someone you just met, 'cause it might come across as a little too forward or sexy, but this is a super sexy text to someone. You send them a message saying, it's probably a good thing we can't see each other right now. I have a feeling you and I would be trouble. It's probably a good thing you and I can't see each other right now, because I have a feeling you and I would be trouble. When someone hears the word trouble, there's a sexiness, there's a fun to that, like trouble. What does that mean? Get someone thinking. Take a picture of the seat next to you. If you're sitting on the sofa watching a movie, take a picture of the part of the couch next to you and say, you,'re supposed to be sitting there right now. I saved this seat for you. Where are you? Of course you're being playful. You know they can't show up. But it's designed to be playful and silly. If someone sends you a message out of the blue right now and says thinking of you, which by the way, these are, I would say this has to be one of the main messages flying around right now is miss you, thinking of you, and especially I know that so many people get these messages from people that have not spoken to them in days or weeks, suddenly out of nowhere, especially because people are lonely, they're sending each other those messages thinking of you. Here's what I want you to send back. You don't have to send back thinking of you too, especially to someone who's just gone off the radar and has decided to ignore you for the last three weeks. Someone sends you a message that says thinking of you. I just want you to send back, well, duh. That message is you're still texting someone back, but you're sending something so confident and self-assured that that person now now is going to be even more attracted to you. You could always say, you could always be watching a scary movie and be like, I mean, who? I watched Contagion the other day. I don't know what I was thinking. That was a terrible idea. I watched the movie Contagion because I guess I wanted to, what? Put myself in the mood for what's already a global pandemic. But I watched Contagion that if you watch a scary movie like that, you could say, I just watched Contagion. I need a cuddle. I just watched Contagion. I need a cuddle. Or, Hug, if you wouldn't use the word cuddle. I'm not sure if cuddle is more of an English thing to say. If someone compliments you, if someone sends you a complimentary message, you say back to them, My roommate or my family or whoever lives with me is going to be asking me why I'm blushing right now. Remember, just because we're going through a serious time, it doesn't mean we have to be heavy in our energy all the time. When we're trying to flirt with someone or keep a romance going, We don't want to be just talking about how difficult everything is. We also want to be flirting and being romantic and keeping the excitement. That's the whole point of these messages. It's so that there's a different note you can go to. If you want more like that, I have a guide. Some of you have this, some of you don't, but it's at 9texts.com It's a free guide that gives you nine more text messages you can use for all different situations with someone you want to create more attraction with. Go check it out. I will see you there. I see the vlog sites. Ookie woop. Got a new wife. Shorty got a new boo. Yeah, love beautiful. I'm looking for love.
