Isn’t it difficult to say goodnight after you’ve developed an intense emotional connection with your partner? Of course! What you desire the most is to cuddle up next to him, fall asleep in each other’s arms, and wake up giving him a good morning kiss!
However, in the early stages of the relationship, you can’t come on too strong. You have to be controlled, confident and independent. That means you’re always the one to end the conversation first. You don’t want to keep him for hours on the phone, because he’ll start to associate you with clingy behavior. You want to keep him excited and always craving more interaction.
Now we see the brilliance of the goodnight text. With this message you can give him that feeling of intimacy and love – impart a strong feeling to him using just a few words instead of five more minutes of sharing sweet nothings. Now you can leave him wanting more with a great goodnight text and end the call whenever you’d like. That will sure be convenient when he’s all talkative but you want to get a good night’s sleep!
Let’s consider then 20 of the best goodnight texts to send to your boyfriend (or crush).
1. I couldn’t go to sleep without my nightly ritual…Telling you how much I care about you. I love you so much! There…now I can sleep peacefully.
2. Sometimes I wish we could sleep in the same bed every night. Then I could hold you all night and wake up in the morning, cradled in your arms.
3. I don’t count sheep when I can’t sleep. I think of all the reasons I love you and then I lose count as I countdown to 100. That’s how amazing you are to me. Goodnight.
4. I will see you in dreams, my friend, my lover, my partner in life.
5. I got to see so much of you today. No wonder this feels like a perfect, beautiful day. Now it’s time to drift off to sleep and continue this in our dreams.
6. Will I be in your dreams? I wonder what I’ll be doing in the dream world? Pleasing you, loving you, touching you. As long as we’re together, things will be okay.
7. Brrrr it’s so cold in here. I wish I was next to you to cuddle up and keep ourselves warm. Soon we’ll be together and hugging under the blanket. And it will feel like paradise. Goodnight.
8. I can’t sleep. You up too? Why can’t we just sleep together in the same bed? Maybe we could get rid of some of this restless energy with some amazing sex. Then we can fall asleep holding each other and whispering sweet nothings. It would feel soooo good.
9. Kiss me. No, literally, make the kissing sound and let me feel it. That’s what I want the most for this goodnight. To feel and hear your kiss. I want to remember how wonderful it feels.
10. I’ll bet you’re very handsome when you sleep. I would love to fall asleep on your chest, listening to your heartbeat.
11. I don’t want to say goodnight. I already miss you. I want to just listen to you breathe. Of course I’m only kidding. But just to ease my longing for you, send me a photo of your dreamy face, slowly falling asleep.
12. I’m lying here fixing to go to sleep and I just heard this song that reminded me of you. It goes… (Lyrics) And I said to myself that sounds so much like my honey. I love you. Goodnight.
13. I am sooo tired today. It was brutal. But before I conk out on the bed, I just wanted to say goodnight. And I love you. It’s just not a full day without that lovely kiss at the end.
14. This pillow is you. I can just imagine it as your body. I’m curled up against it, thinking of your face next to mine. Softly kissing my forehead.
15. I wish I could go to sleep already! Because tomorrow I look forward to sunshine, rejuvenation and your sweet good morning text. Goodnight, my love.
16. You will always be in my heart, (NAME). Tonight, tomorrow night and every night. You are the peace I want in my life.
17. It’s okay. Relax. Rest your eyes and feel my hand stroking your head. Imagine me whispering to you. Imagine me singing a lullaby to you. I’ll end this chat and we can fall asleep together thinking of those things. Let’s try it right now. D
18. You bring me such great joy. You always stay positive and keep me centered. You are better than a sleeping pill because when I’m with you I always feel safe and protected. Loved. Cherished. When I say goodnight, it’s only because you’ve made me feel so peaceful. I have to go to sleep now, but always thinking of you.
19. You are so handsome. Every night I thank my lucky star that a super model like you could end up with a beauty queen like me. You’re the only man I’ve ever really loved. Every time I say goodnight, I think about how we’re a perfect match.
20. We’ve made so many good memories together. And we’re only going to make more. It doesn’t matter how fast time is going by. Because every moment we’re together I feel at peace and in love. Goodnight baby.
As we’ve discussed, goodnight texts are a virtual way to give your partner a hug, a kiss, and a cuddle goodnight. The idea is to let him FEEL your emotion and your desire to be near him. Whether you send a funny text, cute text, sexy text or romantic text, you’re still conveying that feeling of intimacy. You’re letting him sense the love and trust you have for him, until you can meet again in person.
Remember it’s not just a fun thing to do – it could also be called performing maintenance on the relationship. You don’t want him to feel lonely or unappreciated. So share your feelings, give him that sense of being wanted and needed. He will become addicted to your goodnight texts and fall even deeper in love with you over time.
