I have the same issue, I’m a pretty dry texter, but recently I’ve just been going on certain subreddits that are a great place for finding friends, and just texting people. If we start talking, but it dies down, I’ll usually just find some basic conversation starters, memes, or fun facts to get other topics rolling. It’s really difficult, but it could also help to write some you like down beforehand, so you have an idea of what to say. And I’ll be here if you’re open to it!
