Keep reading to find out how to reply to boring texts from a guy!
Make sure heâs interested in you
Before you go putting in a ton of time and effort into replying, you need to make sure that this guy is actually interested in you.
I know it sounds harsh, but there are guys who are happy to text you when they have nothing to do, but they might not have any intention of taking things further.
Sometime guys will even purposely send boring texts, hoping that you wonât continue the conversation.
You need to find out if heâs just a bit shy and bad at texting, or if heâs not that interested in getting to know you.
It can be hard to know what a guy is thinking but here are some signs that he might not be into you:
1. He never texts you first
2. He doesnât ask you questions about yourself
3. He avoids answering questions
4. He regularly takes hours or days to reply to you
5. He never apologizes for taking so long to reply
If the guy youâre texting does any of the above, itâs a clear sign of disinterest. Donât worry about replying to his boring texts because heâs not worth your time anyway!
How To Reply To A Boring Text From A Guy You Like
1. Get him talking đŁïž
Thereâs only so much small talk you can do before texting becomes really boring, even if you have a huge crush on the guy youâre talking to.
Remember that not everyone is a great conversationalist, some guys might need help getting a conversation started.
If a guy is sending you boring text messages, you need to take the lead and steer the conversation in a more interesting direction.
A great way to do this is to find out what heâs passionate about by asking him thoughtful questions.
This will get him talking, help you get to know him better, and maybe youâll even find things you both have in common!
You can go about this two ways. You can either ask him a question out of the blue or ask him more about something heâs mentioned before.
Here are some examples:
Guy: Iâm just home, I went for a run
You: Nice! Are you training for something? You seem to go running a ton
Guy: Hey đ
You: Hey! Iâm looking for new podcasts to listen to, do you have any recommendations?
By asking him specific questions youâll get to know his interests and heâll get to know yours too.
It will also help you to find topics that you both enjoy talking about and want to elaborate on which will lead to rich, engaging conversations.
The goal here is to get to know him and what heâs into, just as much as it is for him to learn about you.
2. Be flirty đ
If a guy is sending you boring texts but youâre pretty sure he has a crush on you, itâs usually because heâs nervous or he doesnât know if you like him in that way back.
Sending him a flirty response is a great way to let him know that youâre interested and is a quick way to confirm that heâs into you too.
Flirting will liven up the conversation and make it more fun. It can be super interesting to see a guyâs reaction to a flirty challenge or question.
Nothing spices up a boring conversation more than being flirty!
Hereâs a good example of a flirty response to a boring text:
Guy: What are you up to?
You: Iâm just getting dressed.
This simple answer is not only flirty, but itâs engaging.
He doesnât know what clothes you currently have, or donât have, on but he is definitely going to be thinking about it.
It might even prompt him to ask you!
3. Send a picture đž
Sometimes text conversations just go stale. This generally happens when you donât know that much about each other.
When you get to know someone better you can ask them about a much wider range of topics and about the things going on in their lives.
If a guy is sending you boring texts, it could just be that heâs not sure what to say because he doesnât know you very well.
In this situation, a perfect way to reply is to send a photo. This will give him more context about you and more to ask you about.
It also means you donât have to spend too much time thinking about how to reply!
You could send a photo that answers his question, a picture thatâs related to the topic youâre talking about, or you could send him a random photo to move the conversation on to something more interesting.
Sending a guy a photo of what youâre doing right at that moment, whether it be making food, watching TV, working out, or having coffee with friends, is a super easy way to reply to a boring text.

4. Emoji Power đȘ
If you get a boring text from a guy, and you donât want to go through the motions of small talk, just reply with an emoji.
Emojis can be interpreted in several different ways, donât be afraid to use that to your advantage.
Sending a single emoji can often be mysterious, and multiple emojis will make the other person think.
Just replying with emojis puts the ball back in the guyâs court and means that he has to try hard if he wants to continue the conversation.
This is perfect for when youâve tried everything else to make the conversation more interesting but youâre tired of his boring texts, or if youâre not interested in talking to him anymore.
Here is an example of using an emoji to respond to a boring text from a guy:
Guy: Whatâs up?
You: ââ *Sends hot beverage emoji*
In this situation, the coffee emojis can be interpreted in a couple of different ways. They could mean youâre at home drinking tea and chilling, or they could mean youâre out for coffee with friends.
Sending an emoji is quick, easy, and a little mysterious.
It will also show the guy that you arenât sitting around waiting to reply to his texts all day. You have a life too!
5. End The Conversation đ
If a guy is sending you boring messages and you donât want to continue texting, or youâre not into him anymore, you can just end the conversation.
You donât need to openly reject him or tell him that his messages are boring (someone else might find them interesting!), but by not keeping up the conversation heâll eventually get the message that youâre not enjoying texting him.
He may not realize that heâs making it difficult to reply and have an interesting conversation, so you shouldnât be mean or hurt his feelings. Let him know subtly by politely ending the conversation.
The best way to do this is to let him know that youâre busy and canât talk.
It doesnât have to be a lie. You can just let him know that youâre about to work out, go on a walk, or chill with your family.
Here is an example of how you can politely end the conversation:
Guy: Nothing much
You: Oh ok! Iâm meeting a friend at the gym soon, so Iâd better go. Bye!
Also, if he opens the conversation with a boring text and youâre not interested in talking to him, the best thing to do is to end the conversation before itâs even started.
Getting boring texts from a guy isnât fun.
However, if you like him, it might be worth trying to steer the conversation in a more interesting direction.
Ask him about things heâs interested in, send him a photo, or be a bit flirtatious, but if nothing works, just politely end the conversation.
