Relationships
Give them something to look forward to when they, uh, get off.
No matter how long you’ve been dating, communicating with your partner or crush when you’re not together is a great way to stay engaged and show that you’re regularly thinking about them. Whether you send some cute selfies on Snapchat, memes on Instagram, or have a standing FaceTime lunch date, there are countless ways your phone can make working in separate offices more manageable. From time to time, even when the ol’ 9-5 gets busy, you might want to try sending some flirty texts to someone who’s at work.
Sure, knocking out items on their to-do list may be your partner or crush’s number one priority, but that doesn’t mean you can’t offer them a little entertainment by way of a fun and flirty text. It’ll keep you on their mind, after all. If you’re with a long-term partner who works (far) away from you, doing so can also keep that spark alive, says Erika Kaplan, a professional matchmaker and vice president of membership at Three Day Rule. “It's important to ensure you’re sprinkling in some affirmative words of love in your day-to-day texts and other conversations,” she previously told Bustle. “Try not to let the mundane day-to-day usurp the fact that you two really do have a romantic connection.” Enter: saucy messages sent via SMS.
Here are 30 flirty texts to send someone who’s at work — all of which are guaranteed to make your crush (or S.O.) smile at their desk.
1
“I hope you’re not working too hard today… you’ll need energy later tonight ;)”
If you’ve got spicy plans later but they’re still at work, keep it lightly suggestive. It leaves more to the imagination, anyway.
2
“Let me know how your meeting goes! I’m sure you’re going to crush it.”
A little encouragement goes a long way in making your crush smile — especially if their love language is words of affirmation,
3
“Meet me for happy hour at 6? I want to see how your butt looks in those slacks.”
Get them blushing at their desk by giving them a flirty compliment.
4
“I’ve re-read the same sentence in this email five times because I can’t stop thinking about you.”
Send a message like this after a really great date night… or if that date went into the next morning.
5
“I wish you were cuddled in bed with me instead of sitting at your desk.”
For a crush or partner with an early commute, let them know they’ve stayed on your mind since they left.
6
“I miss your face! Send me a work selfie?”
Whether you WFH or are on a different schedule, you can reciprocate with a cute selfie back.
7
“Making my afternoon coffee run, but getting a Snap from you might be a better pick-me-up.”
This text is a great way to keep up your Snapchat streak and flirt at the same time.
8
“Paying attention to this Zoom meeting is hard when all I can picture is you kissing me last night.”
Enough said.
9
“Thanks for making breakfast this morning. Good thing you’re still cute, even if you did burn the toast a little ;)”
Most people can appreciate some innocent negging, even if they really aren’t the best cook.
10
“My coworkers probably think I’m losing it because I get so excited when your name pops up on my phone.”
If you get that giddy feeling when you hear from your crush, it’s not a bad idea to let them know.
11
“The dogs and I can’t wait for you to bring home the bacon after work… the dogs mostly for the bacon.”
Working from home with your dogs is a situation that can come in handy when trying to come p with a flirty joke. Send this text to your partner to let them know the whole family misses them (for different reasons... wink-wink).
12
“So proud of you for getting that promotion! I guess tonight can be the last night dinner is on me, haha”
A celebratory dinner and the last time you have to pick up the check? A win-win.
13
“How’s work going today? I bet it’s hard being the biggest hottie in the office.”
Being so attractive can be difficult, so let your crush know you feel for them.
14
“I left a little note in your lunch for today, just don’t read it in front of your coworkers.”
The nature of the lunch note is totally up to you — have fun with it.
15
“Hey boss babe, can I take you out to lunch today?”
Setting up an impromptu date when your partner works hard can help alleviate their stress and give you a little quality time together.
16
“What’s your office address? I want to send my fave [job title] some hard-earned lunch.”
If you know they’re having a super busy work day, sending over an Uber Eats order is an easy and meaningful gesture.
17
“I hope you don’t mind, but I borrowed your shirt today. Just wanted the reminder of you on me all day until you can *actually* be on me tonight 😉”
Take it one step further by sending them a selfie of you in said shirt — they’ll love it.
18
“If I was alone in that conference room with you right now, what would you do?”
The possibilities are endless... just maybe don’t text this from your work computer.
19
“Can we FaceTime during your break? I really want to see the face I’m gonna make out with later.”
There’s no better pick-me-up than a quick and flirty video call with your hard-working S.O.
20
“Check your Venmo, coffee’s on me today 😘”
They’ll be thinking of you with every sip.
21
“I know you’re having a stressful day, so a full-body massage is in store for you when you get home if you want it.”
Bonus points if you have all the works ready for a full spa experience.
22
“Totally got a dirty look from my manager when I giggled at your text during this meeting… worth it.”
Fluff their ego a little by letting them know how funny they are.
23
“If you’re able to finish that big project today, I’ll make sure you ~finish~ in a different way later😋”
What better motivation is there?
24
“Next time you can sneak off to the bathroom, let me know. I have something to show you.”
If you have a NSFW pic to share, give them this heads up and then make their day.
25
“Just put my hair up and had a flashback to when it was all in your fist the other night. Let’s do that again ASAP.”
Are you a fan of getting things a little rough in the bedroom? Let them know just how you like it.
26
“I wish I could be your assistant for a day. I’d do whatever you told me to 😉”
Keep their mind racing all day with the endless possibilities this scenario could bring.
27
“Let’s skip our dinner reservations. I have other activities in mind for us.”
Straight to the point and straight to the bedroom.
28
“Picturing you in your office is giving me ideas of some fun things we can do with your tie tonight.”
This is a great way to hint at trying something new while letting them know you’re fantasizing about them.
29
“I want to come visit you on your lunch break, but I probably shouldn’t return to the office with my makeup smeared all over 😆”
Let them imagine a hot and steamy makeout sesh.
30
“I made you a playlist for the commute home with a bunch of songs that make me think of you.”
This gesture would make any music-lover smile, and you can even make it a collaborative playlist so they can add songs that make them think of you, too.
