How to Manifest Someone to Text You

Get specific about what you want.

Manifestation works better when you have a super clear desire. Who do you want to text you? Why exactly do you need a text from them? What do you want the message to say? The more specific your want or goal, the faster the universe will bring it to you. For example: “I want my boss to text me and say I have tomorrow off so I can go to the beach with my friends.” “I want my ex to text me and say he misses me so that we can get back together.” “I want Becca to text me and suggest a spot for our second date because it’ll mean she’s into me.”

Write down your exact want.

Handwriting your intent is a powerful way to put your desire out there. The universe responds positively to acts of creation, so grab a pen and paper and physically write it down. Draft the exact message you want to receive, who it’s from, and when and why you want it. Don’t worry about your message being embarrassing or cheesy. No one will see it but you! Writing things out is a way to further clarify exactly what you want to receive. Keep your written text message in a safe spot to revisit later. Always use clear, concise, and positive wording when you write. Include the day's date whenever you write down your manifestation.

Try the 369 method.

This method forces you to focus on your intent throughout the day. Handwrite out your intent 3 times in the morning when your head is clear. In the afternoon, set aside time to clear your head again and write it 6 times. Then write it again 9 times before bed. By adding more reps to your writing throughout the day, you’re forcing your mind to get more focused on your intent even though your distractions increase during the day. Normally we stress about the negatives of our day when we go to bed. Writing about your text before bed puts your desire and good vibes at the front of your subconscious mind. The numbers 3, 6, and 9 are considered lucky numbers on their own. Together, they signify compassion, idealism, and creative expression.

Send yourself a text.

This method mimics what it feels like to get a text for real. Save your own phone number under the name of the person you want to text you. Type out the exact message you want to get and then send it to yourself. Internalize the joy you feel when you see their name pop up on your screen so you can meditate on it later. Take a mental picture of what your screen looks like with a message from them. This will strengthen your visualization. This method trains you to expect a message from this person. When you expect and believe something good will happen, the universe will give it to you.

Visualize yourself receiving a text.

Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and meditate on the text. See the person sending it. Picture your phone screen lighting up with a notification. Hear your ringtone go off or feel your phone vibrate. The Law of Attraction says that if you can see what you want clearly, you’ll get it when you put in the work. End your visualization by thanking the universe for the good that’s going to come your way. Feel the happiness or excitement of getting a good news text or a message from your crush. These feelings are the best vibes you can send out to the universe. Try looking at your actual phone and visualizing a text coming through. Open up your messaging app and project all the details—emojis, memes, length—onto the screen. Visualization is a great tool to use when negative thoughts or bad energy creep into your mind.

Use the whisper method.

The whisper method is an extension of your visualization. Imagine yourself walking up to the person you want a text from. Picture them clearly, see their phone in their hand, and imagine they’re dying to text you. See yourself whispering “You’re going to text me” into their ear and watching them type out a message. Whisper your message out loud to yourself as well to create physical vibrations that support your goal. It’s a very simple technique, but that’s what makes it so helpful. Simple things are easy to imagine and get excited about. You can change your whisper message to fit your goal. “You’re going to text me about prom” or “You want to tell me how you really feel” are more specific and helpful.

Use the pillow method.

This is a good method to use when there’s no urgent deadline. Handwrite your intention or grab your original written desire. Read it to yourself and meditate on it for a few minutes at night, and then put it under your pillow while you sleep. Do this every night until you get the message you want. Your subconscious mind will keep working on your goal while you’re asleep. Dreams about your text are a sign that it’s coming closer.

Dismiss your limiting beliefs.

Fear or doubt create bad vibes and hold you back from success. Identify the exact insecurities you’re feeling—maybe you’re convinced no one wants to talk to you, or that your crush will never see you as more than a friend. Remember these thoughts aren’t true and your past experiences don’t define what you deserve now. Some common reasons people feel insecure about getting texts are: “The person I want to text me doesn’t like me.” “Nobody cares about how I’m doing.” “No one texted me all week, so they won’t start now.” “Everyone always forgets about me.” “They’re not really my friends.”

Create good vibes with positive affirmations.

Banish your limiting beliefs with declarations about what you deserve. Speaking your affirmations out loud and in the present tense is a quick and powerful way to signal to the universe that you’re ready to get what you want. They’re most powerful when you create or write them yourself, but you can get started with some of these: “I deserve to hear from the people I care about.” “I create meaningful relationships with people who care about me.” “I’m open to getting a text from my crush.” “I have great communication skills.” “My friends want to talk to me.”

Put your phone down.

Constantly checking your phone is a form of worrying (AKA bad energy). The more you worry or obsess, the more you counteract the positive work you’ve done. After your visualization or affirmations, put your phone away for a while and live your life. Do something you enjoy to keep the good vibes coming. Be patient while the universe works. You might not get the exact message you want in the exact timeframe you hoped for, but trust that you’re being steered towards the greater good.

Reassess your manifestation practice.

If weeks have gone by and there’s no text, revisit your original intention. Were you specific enough? Did you leave something out? Were you honest with yourself? Edit or update your written text and use the new version for your visualizations going forward. It’s possible self-doubt or insecurity is holding you back. Let go of these negative beliefs and focus on your positive affirmations if you feel this is the case.
