# Use emojis

The rosy-cheeked smiley face is one of the cutest ones to use when saying hello because it is literally adorable. This emoji shows you’re sort of shy and cheeky but still being mysterious and cute.

It is practically impossible to use that emoji and not leave people smiling. Also, the little monkey see, monkey do emojis are great additions to any hi text message. You can even add a random or nonsensical one in, just to get them talking.

# Send a photo

Instead of using your words, use the art of photography. A photo of you smiling or waving hi is much more exciting than the word “hi” in a text message.

This will leave your recipient feeling like you are really interested. Plus, seeing a cute photo of you will go a long way too. Just keep it PG, at least for now.

# Try a video

Since you can send photos, you can also send videos. You can send a video of you actually waving or perhaps singing a Disney song… Be cute and have fun with it. Use your confidence to encourage their response.

# Use a cute saying

“Hey, pretty lady” is a great option, or “Hey good lookin’, what’s cookin’?” Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. These are classics that will honestly never get old.

They may sound a little cringe or cheesy, but that’s why they work. You rarely hear these anymore, but they are wholesome and cute.

# Say hi in another language

Saying “Hola or “Bonjour” are cute ways to say hi. You aren’t really putting that much effort in, but it does start a conversation about cultures and if you really know another language.

It also just takes saying “hi” up a notch.

# How long has it been?

Saying something like, “I miss you” or “it has been ages,” lets them know that no matter how long it has been, you’re thinking of them. You want to catch up. This is a great way to enter into a nice long conversation about what you’ve both been up to.

# WAVES

I’ve received this text a few times, and it’s sort of funny, depending on who sends it. It could honestly go either way. But if you think you could pull this one off, then, by all means, go for it.
