75 “Good Morning” Texts That Won't Get You Left on Read All Day
If you’re on good morning text terms with a person, chances are things are getting pretty serious between you two—or are at least headed that way. I mean, think about it. If you’re texting first thing in the a.m., you’re probably the first person they’re even talking to that day. Your text might literally be the first thing they see when they open their eyes, grab their phone and prepare for their morning doomscroll. Not to be dramatic, but coming before the doomscroll is kind of a big deal!
No matter where you are in your relationship/situationship, a good morning text sets the tone for the entire day’s conversation. Not to stress you out or anything, but a weak, cringe, or over-eager a.m. text might just leave you on read all day anxiously checking your phone and/or wondering if you should just chuck it into the nearest river and start a new life under a fake identity.
Kidding! (Kind of!) This is not a make-or-break situation. That said, a good morning text is a great opportunity to set yourself up for a day of non-stop flirting with your crush, a steamy sesh with your fave sexting partner, or another day of coupled-up bliss with your long-term love.
Obviously, the tone of that morning greeting is going to vary depending on what exactly you’ve got cooking in the romance department. Like, there are a lot of different directions you could go with this! So to help, we’ve curated a list of good morning text ideas organized by the mood and level of commitment you’re working with. Chill? Horny? Intimate? We’ve got ’em all, baby. Seriously, feel free to copy and paste to all your suitors. This is the ish we insist you plagiarize.
For those of you in the early stages of a relationship
1. “Good morning!” Keep it simple, yeah?
2. “Happy FriYAY!” (Or insert day of the week.)
3. [Pick up the conversation you “fell asleep on” last night.] This is a foolproof way to keep the convo going and save yourself the anxiety of wondering who should text first. You’re welcome.
4. “So I heard that when you think about someone before you go to bed, it’s because they were thinking about you too. Thoughts?” A bit ballsy, yes, but an indirect way of telling them that you were thinking about them.
5. “I’m pretty sure I had a dream about you last night.” Doesn’t matter if it’s true. When they ask about it, you can pull the, “I don’t really remember but you were definitely in it. Guess you were on my mind last night…” Full disclosure, this could easily take a turn for the steamy, so proceed with caution if you’re not there yet.
6. “Omg, I totally forgot to tell you this story last night [/whenever you last talked].” Another air-tight excuse to text first. You just totally “forgot” to tell them this super cool/hilarious/juicy story that they absolutely NEED to hear! Just make sure you, uh, actually have a story in mind.
7. “Good morning, handsome!” Who doesn't love compliments?
8. “Good morning, stranger.” Use. With. Caution. Like, only say this when you haven’t spoken for longer than a week.
9. “Good morning, cutie.”
10. “Good morning sleepyhead.” Cute, but not *too* cute, ya know?
11. “Good morning, babe.” Pretty sure dudes love being called “babe”—or any pet name, for that matter.
12. “Good morning, IMY.” It’s like saying “I miss you” without the seriousness of sending “I miss you,” you feel?
13. [Insert coffee emoji via Venmo message with $5]
14. [String of random, unrelated emoji] and then a follow-up message that’s just: “*Sorry, I meant ‘good morning.’”
15. “Good morning <3 <3 <3.”
16. “Good morning! Is it time for some [insert your name] attention yet?”
17. “Good morning! Are you done making me suffer?” Use only if the person hasn’t reached out to you in a while or you’re awaiting a text from them. It’s like a foolproof, lighthearted way of poking fun at yourself.
18. “How’d you sleeeeep?”
If you want to send a good morning text but also make plans
19. “Hey. I’ve been thinking about you. Let me steal your Friday night.” This is a personal fave because it shows that you—yes, you—have your shit together. Ball’s in your court, babe.
20. “Hey, you. Want to steal my Friday night?” Okay, another alternative to the above that puts the ball in their court.
21. “Good morning! What are you doing on [whatever date your future plans are for]?” Open-ended in case you truly have no plans lined up.
22. “Good morning! When are we seeing the new [insert movie or show]?” This should allude to something you had been previously talking to them about.
23. “Good morning! When do I get to see your cute face again?”
24. “So…you free that day? [link to any upcoming event]”
25. “So tell me, what’s a girl gotta do to see you again?”
26. [Google Cal invite to a very casual hangout] Misplaced formality. Very chic!
27. [Link to an article about a new Netflix orig movie] If they don’t pick up the hint, you don’t want it.
28. “Should we go look at puppies later?” Can they really say no?
29. “[Link to any personality quiz]. I got [your result], what’d you get?”
30. “I know it’s, like, 10 a.m., but I’m so hungry and can’t stop thinking about lunch already.” And then you transition into “Omg, I’ve been in SUCH a pizza mood lately” and go back and forth on best pizza places until you land on plans to check out a new joint next week.
31. “Heard this song this morning and thought of you.” You can do anything here. A song that reminds you of your partner, a song you think they’d like, a song they’d hate and then you can debate it…the world is truly your oyster.
32. “Please get out of my head. Seriously, it’s annoying.”
33. “How’re you doing it?” When they respond “Doing what?” you say, “You know, how’re you controlling it so that you’re the first thing I think of in the morning?”
34. “Lol, tell me why this just made me think about you? [Insert emoji, meme, joke, etc.]”
If you’re, like, straight up in love
35. “Good morning my love.” Sweet and simple, a classic for a reason.
36. “Would give anything to be waking up next to you this morning.”
37. “Good morning [insert pet-name of choice]. One day closer to seeing you again!” If you’re long distance, obvs.
38. “I love that you’re always the first thing on my mind when I wake up in the morning.”
39. “Every morning I wake up in love with you is a good morning.” Little on the cheesy side, but hey, you’re in love!
40. “What a coincidence, you were the last thing on my mind when I fell asleep last night and the first thing on my mind when I woke up this morning.”
41. “Good morning! Ready for day [insert approximate number of days you’ve been together] of being in love?” But who’s counting? Oh yeah, you are.
42. “Wish I could wake you up with a good morning kiss, but this will have to do! 😘”
43. “I’m not sure how it’s possible, but I’m pretty sure I woke up even more in love with you today than I was yesterday.”
44. “Good morning! Did you know I’m so in love with you?” A little reminder never hurts!
If you want to be funny
45. “Wake up! You have a full day of paying attention to me ahead of you!” Use only if you’re sure you can trust them to get that you’re being cute/tongue-in-cheek and not like, straight-up clingy.
46. [Any funny meme without commentary] Skip the formality and jump right into banter with a talking point.
47. [Any cute animal photo without context] This puts the onus on them to bounce back with a funny caption. We love equal effort in a conversation!
48. [Cute animal photo with context/commentary] Now they either have to volley it back or find another photo to keep the conversation going.
49. [Link to an article you’ll both want to talk about]
50. [Link to a totally random article that you’ll need to explain, so you basically guarantee one text back at the very, very least] Yes, knowledge *is* power.
51. [The link to this article] Being meta is kind of beautiful, isn’t it?
52. [Literally any inside joke between you two]
53. [Literally any stretch to bring up an inside joke between you two] We all know what I’m talking about here. When you see a dog that reminds you of that time you both saw a person feeding a bird that kind of looked like a dog…and really, this is an excuse to talk about anything.
54. “You’re sleeping. I’m in desperate need of attention, and you’re sleeping?”
55. “*GOOD MORNING VIETNAM voice* GOOD MORNING [insert their name].” If they don’t get the reference, they’re too young for you, boo.
56. “Good morning, Sir. This is your 9 a.m. wakeup call.”
57. “WYD?” (You’re supposed to use this ironically.)
58. “Remember that one time you [insert embarrassing thing they did on a date]?”
If you’re feeling frisky this a.m.
59.“Woke up thinking about you…” The 😏 is all in the ellipsis, trust.
60. “Had a dream about you last night…” I dare them not to ask for details.
61.“Wish I were waking up in your bed right now.” An “Oh yeah? What would you do if I were there?” is basically already on its way to your phone as we speak.
62. “So what would it take to get you to wake up in my bed?”
63. “Hmm, I’m awfully horny this morning.” Sometimes honesty is the best policy.
64. “So I actually have a medical condition where I need to have an orgasm first thing every morning. Know anyone who can help?”
65. “Good morning. Any dirty dreams to report?”
66. “Good morning, what are you wearing?” A definite sense of urgency here.
67. “Good morning. Can’t stop thinking about you.” Morning time is horny time, and that’s just facts.
68. “Hmm, why am I so worked up this morning?” Gives them room to interpret.
69. “Hi, sexy.” Dash in a flirty emoji to really drive the point home.
70. “Can’t stop thinking about your [whatever attribute you want to mention (see: dick, eyes, abs, arms)].”
71. “Please tell me I’m not the only one who woke up horny this morning?” You definitely won’t be the only one now!
72. “Ugh, I woke up with a horrible headache. Can I get some nudes to start my day off right?” This is LOUD in a good way.
73. [A picture of you in bed looking naked…ish] Like, not a full-blown nude, but definitely showing some skin.
74. “Ah, you’re not waking me up to a morning text? Guess you don’t get to see the sexy picture I just took for you.” This ensures that you, from now on, always wake up to a morning text, you sexy devil, you.
75. “Come over.” No sense in beating around the bush at 9 a.m.
