Have you recently met a cute girl and are interested in getting to know her? Or maybe you’re already ‘kind of’ seeing her but not yet official. When texting her, you’ll want to show that you’re interested but at the same time not come across as desperate. So, when is the best time to text a girl? Here are a few factors to consider.
Be respectful of her schedule
With any kind of communication, whether in person, calling or through text, one should be respectful of the other person’s schedule. What you want to avoid is texting at awkward hours e.g. very late at night or very early in the morning.
- If her phone alerts are switched on 24/7, then texting her at odd hours will disturb her.
When is the best time to text a girl? Not too late, not too early
- Text her at reasonable hour
- Texting very late at night does not give the best impression
- Texting a girl when she’s sleeping also means you’ll have to wait longer for a reply
Sending late night texts e.g. 1am may come across as presumptuous or flat out creepy if she doesn’t know you well. If she suspects you’ve been drinking before texting, this does not create a great impression of you.
You also want to avoid messaging her too early in the morning before she’s woken up. Most of us are on a tight schedule in the morning. Even if she has time to glance at your text, she may not have the time to reply meaningfully.

When is the best time to text a girl? If you have a rough idea of her schedule, you may prefer texting her at times when you know she is more free
- If you know she’s very busy at certain times during the day, you’ll be better off texting her when you know she’s free
It can be helpful if you have a rough idea of her schedule before deciding when to text her. If, for example, you know that she has a busy job and finishes work at 6pm most days, you may be better off texting her after she’s finished work. Or, if you know she has social commitments and, as a result, may have less time to text you, you may wish to wait until after she’s done before texting her. This way, it’s less likely you’ll need to wait so long for a reply.
There’s no need to overthink when the best time is to text a girl
- Use your judgment and text her at sensible times
- Gauge her responsiveness, too
If you’ve been wondering “when is the best time to text a girl” and still not sure, just remember, there’s no need to overthink things. It really depends on the situation. Just stick to a reasonable hour and see how quickly she tends to reply you, too. If it’s obvious that she is more responsive during a certain time of the day, it may be smarter to text her more during that period.
Don’t play hard to get
- Go with the flow and don’t play hard to get
Avoid playing hard to get by intentionally not texting her. There’s no need. Playing hard to get is tricky because she may end up feeling that you’re not interested. If you are interested in her and the feeling is mutual, then your communication by text will progress naturally. It’s far better to go with the flow.
