When you're single, New Year's Eve can feel like a game of musical chairs. As midnight nears, people start eyeing the person they hope to lock lips with, and when the ball drops, it's like the music has stopped. It's a mad scramble to find a partner to smooch, and if you're the odd person out, you have no choice but to remove yourself from the game. There's nothing wrong with being single for New Year's. But if you have your heart set on a midnight makeout, I've got some flirty New Year's Eve texts to send your crush, because there's no better night to take a risk.
Fun fact: English and German folklore suggested that sharing a kiss at midnight could be the start of a promising new romance. According to superstition, the person you interact with on New Year's Eve can set the tone for the whole year to come. They also believed that not kissing someone on New Year's meant you would spend the next 12 months unlucky in love. Of course, New Year's Eve kisses can just be for fun rather than a matter of fate. Here are some texts you can send to get that midnight liplock — and possibly a new love, too.
