With all their sweetness and sensitivity, Pisces men are totally crushworthy. Texting this water sign may seem like a challenge because Pisces are all about deep, emotional conversations (which, yes, usually happen in person). But trust us, there are so many amazing ways to capture this softie's heart over text. We're here to teach you absolutely everything you need to know. To learn how you can attract a Pisces man through text, read on!

1

Make the first move.

If you text a Pisces man first, you’ll make him feel special. You know those guys who need to chase their crushes to stay interested? That's not Pisces. In fact, these guys can be a little shy, so send him a warm, friendly opener to kick things off between you two. Introduce yourself, use a subtle excuse to start a conversation, or invite him to hang out.
- If he doesn’t have your number, introduce yourself: “Hey! Hank, right? I got your # from Nikita. You seemed really sweet. I thought I’d reach out :)”
- If you have each other’s numbers but don’t text much, use a subtle conversation starter: “Leo, I just spotted your literal doppelganger on 5th! 😱”
- If the two of you have been texting, ask him to spend time with you: "Heading to Lori's Cafe rn. Want to split the world's best brownie with me? 😍"

2

Compliment him.

Pisces love spending time with kindhearted people. So, offer him a compliment or two. This'll make your Pisces crush feel amazing, and at the same time, you'll come off as a super sweet person to him. When something nice pops into your head, send it right over. Comment on his kindness or his intuitive nature, and he'll feel especially touched.
- “When I saw you today, I couldn’t stop thinking about how nice your eyes are. SO green. They look like a filter. 🥰”
- "You always really get it when I tell you how I feel. I love how perceptive you are."
- “I saw you helping Theo with his assignment today. Classic Ezra, always lending a hand. You've got such a big heart! 😽"

3

Ask him about his feelings.

In their heart of hearts, Pisces want to feel taken care of. Regularly check in on how he’s feeling over text. Show concern for his emotional wellbeing, and he'll feel like you're everything he's been searching for. Plus, you're proving that you're generous, loving, and emotionally intuitive—AKA, all things he admires in a crush.
- If you pick up on a shift in his mood, ask him about it: “I don’t mean to press, but you didn't quite seem like yourself today. Everything okay?”
- If you know he’s been feeling down, check in and offer to help: “Hey, Ali. I know it’s been a tough week. How was today? Can I bring you some ice cream?”
- When he mentions something that's been bothering him, follow up with him later on: “Hey, by the way, how did that chat with your sister go? Is she alright?"

Be vulnerable with your feelings.

Pisces is a water sign, so they’ll want to connect with you emotionally. Send a text that proves you’re emotionally open and intuitive. Wait for him to ask how you've been feeling or work it into conversation yourself. If you can, share complex, deep emotions and try to offer him some detail. So, instead of saying you’ve been “good,” explain that you’ve been “content, but a little restless."^{[1]

- If he asks about your day, take that as an opportunity to share your emotions: “I'm feeling a bit frustrated today. Hoping a warm tea turns things around. 🫖"
- If he asks a specific question, offer an emotionally insightful response: "Yes, my dog is feeling better! I tried to play it cool but I was really nervous for a while."
- Work some emotional vulnerability into a good morning text: "Good morning! I woke up feeling totally at peace today. How about you? 😺"

5

Prove that you have a big heart.

A Pisces will hope his crush is a natural humanitarian, just like him. To a Pisces man, altruism is just about the most attractive quality on the planet. So, send a text that highlights your charitable nature. Mention helping a friend, offer to help him with an issue, or highlight a cause you're passionate about.^{[2]

- "Sorry, I won't be able to come to dinner tonight! I'm still helping Tamara move. It's a pretty big job, so I can't leave her to do it alone. 📦"
- "Let me know if you need help organizing your closet. I did that recently—such a daunting task. I'd love to lend a hand. 🤗"
- "I'm off to volunteer at the Humane Society! I'll send a video if the cats do anything especially cute. 🐈‍⬛😇"

Show him your creative side.

Pisces is a creative sign, so he'll hope you love the arts, too. Ask him about his creative projects, explain your own projects to him, or discuss your favorite music, art, and books. To a Pisces, art is an important part of life. So bond with him in this area, and you’ll earn major points. Plus, he’ll love that you’re showing an interest in his interests (because he loves thoughtful people!).^{[3]

- “Hey, how are your vocal lessons going? Have you hit any new notes since we last spoke? 🤩”
- “Have I mentioned that I started a new painting yesterday? It’s of three glass soda bottles. Getting the reflections right will be tough. 🎨”
- “Okay, top three favorite bands of all time. Go! For me, it’s gotta be The Velvet Underground, Yo La Tengo, and Television. 🎼"

7

Ask him about his dreams.

Pisces are imaginative people, and he'll want to explore that with you. Men of this sign don’t always get to enjoy conversations about the things they love, like spirituality and fantasies. Indulge that side of him, and he’ll think you’re the most exciting, special person he’s ever met. Ask him about his dreams, his fantasies, and his spiritual beliefs to connect.^{[4]

- “What’s the last dream you remember? Mine was of me swimming in a chocolate fountain…What do you think that means?? 😋”
- “What’s your favorite thing to daydream about? Like, you’re bored in class, nothing to do…where does your mind wander off to? 😴”
- “Would you say you’re a spiritual person? If so, what else do you think is out there? I’d love to hear your thoughts.”

8

Ask for his help with something.

Pisces want to feel valuable to the people they care about. This is a generous, kindhearted sign, so to connect with a Pisces man, send a text asking for his help. When he takes care of you, he'll feel closer to you. Ask for his assistance on something he's knowledgeable about, like emotional issues, relationship conflicts, or creative projects.
- “Hey, so sorry to bother you. I’m feeling sort of down. Any chance you’d want to come over, watch LOTR, and eat our weight in ice cream? 🍦”
- “Could I get your help with something? My sister and I are sort of fighting, and you're so good with this stuff. I’d love your advice!”
- “I’m not sure how to take my short film to the next level. I’d actually love your input. Want to stop by and watch it with me quickly? I’d be super grateful :)”

9

Send long, sweet messages.

A Pisces man wants conversation with his crush to be ultra-affectionate. Wait until you two have discussed your feelings for each other. Then, draft long, super sentimental messages to keep your flirtationship full of passion. To a Pisces, there's nothing more romantic than a long-form love letter. So, send him the text-message equivalent!
- “Lyle, I just think you’re the best. Every day that I wake up and remember I’m going to get to talk to you, it puts a smile on my face. I just think you’re so funny and sweet and smart, and I don’t want you to question how I feel about you. 💕”
- "Andre, I really, really like you. You still give me butterflies even though we've been hanging out for weeks now. I love your energy, enthusiasm, and imagination. You're like sunshine in human form! 💙❤️💛"
- Send him a photo of something interesting near your place and say it reminds you of him.
- You can tell him that you were listening to a song that reminded you of him.
- You can also use emojis here and there to make the conversation interesting.

10

Send him good morning and good night texts.

Pisces want someone who's there for the long haul. Prove to him that you're consistent and reliable by sending daily messages. To subtly remind him that you're someone he can count on, shoot him good morning and good night texts. Plus, this'll let him know that he's on your mind at the beginning and end of each day (which he'll love!).
- “Good morning, sunshine. Thinking of you! Hope you slept well. 🤠”
- “Sleep tight! Don’t miss me too much in your dreams. 🥱🥱”
- “Daily reminder that I’m thinkin’ of ya! Hope you’re set to have a rad day. 🤘🏽”

11

Don’t be too forward.

Pisces men won't be into explicit messages. Though Pisces aren't traditional, they are sensitive. He'll want intimacy in your relationship to develop over time, so keep your messages PG. Avoid revealing photos, risque jokes, and crude flirtations. Instead, when you're looking to create some excitement, ask to meet in person or send something emotionally vulnerable.
