Frequently Asked Questions
Is it weird to text your crush on Valentine's Day?
Not at all! Valentine's Day is literally designed for telling people you like them. It's the one day of the year where a slightly flirty or romantic text is completely expected and natural.
How do I hint to my crush without being too direct?
Use the 'Cute & Subtle' messages. A message like 'I always smile when your name pops up' shows you appreciate them and think of them often, without making a heavy confession.
What if my crush doesn't reply the way I want?
It's better to know! If they don't reciprocate, you can be proud of yourself for being brave. But if they do, you might just get a date out of it.
