How do I text my crush if we don't know each other that well?

Asked by HalfNHalf15 (16points) April 15th, 2020

My crush and I are both in band (we’re both saxophones :D) and we’ve never really talked much except for small talk about band stuff. I got his number because we created a saxophone group chat, not because he personally gave it to me… He’s also two years older than me (he’s a senior and I’m a sophomore), and we’ve never met outside of band. We’ve known each other for about three years, though. Also, we’re both homeschooled, I don’t know if that’s important or not. I want to text him, but I don’t want to seem creepy or clingy or annoying or anything like that because we’ve never texted before, and I have no reason to text him out of the blue.

Is there anything you are working on that he may help you with, or that you could bring up as a topic? For example “I really like the new song that we have to learn” or “I’m having a hard time with the new song we have to learn” or something like that.

Text ‘I found this great sax video online, what do you think?’ And link to Saxquatch videos. That’ll be common interest and not be weird. Good luck.

@jca2 no, band is out right now because of the corona virus…

I like the idea of sharing some videos.
Start with, “I’m so bored I could die. I thought we could share some music videos until we are back to making music for real.”
Maybe send a favorite, and something totally absurd, and ask him which he likes best. That way he knows you expect to hear back from him.

@Patty_Melt Trust me, Saxquatch is real and very weird. He plays sax in a Sasquatch costume in the woods…haha!

You could always just say “What are you doing? or “How are you doing?” and you could add what you’re doing. ’‘How are you doing? I miss band” or “What are you doing? I’m waiting for my mom to cook dinner.”

Resort to the old fashioned way: Go up and talk to them face to face.
