to offend you or hurt your feelings (this happened to me before). 6 When you say good night (because you have to do it sometime), say their name like "Good night_(insert name here)_ ." If you want to say something flirty, be careful because there are guys out there who have parents checking their texts. If you are the guy's first girlfriend, his parents will probably be overprotective. So don't send him anything too inappropriate because if his parents see it, they might not like you too much. I know it's very sad, but some guys don't know what gtg means (got to go), so he might just be like ok whatever. Say something like "I need to go". Depending on how deep of a relationship you have, you could add sweetie or cutie to the end of that. (Hint, if you say bye first, then he will probably say "Bye (insert your name here)" or "Good Night (insert your name here)", reminding you that he did not forget your name.
