If you are in middle school, it is pretty hard to text your boyfriend about appropriate things. Why is it important to be appropriate? How do you text your boyfriend about things that are appropriate but won't put you to sleep? Well you'll find out... Remember the one rule of texting . Never say anything to your boyfriend (or anyone else for that matter) that you wouldn't say in person. If what you have to say is inappropriate, then it is just better to say it to that person either while talking on the phone or in person. 2 Don't keep texting "hi" or "hey" . They will answer you back most of the time. Boyfriends are people too, they have lives to live, they don't sit around all day waiting for you to text them. So, if your boyfriend doesn't text you back that does NOT mean he's gonna break up with you in most cases. I personally text "hi" or "hey" usually 3 times. After that, just wait. If he doesn't text you back, he is probably just busy. 3 Start out with general subjects . Ask how he is or how his day was. Most guys love to talk about themselves, so let him do that. 4 If you are going to say something lovey-dovey, just think about if you want to send it first . 5 If you have to go, tell him that . Don't just leave because he might think that he said something
