Playfully teasing him will make him blush a little from embarrassment. Just don't say anything that's too mean, or else you'll hurt his feelings. Sending flirty, playful messages is a great way to turn him on and make him blush.
“I'm following up on the below” or “Following up on this [request/question/assignment]” “I'm circling back on the below” or “Circling back on this [request/question/assignment]” “I'm checking in on the below” or “Checking in on this [request/question/assignment]” “I need your input on the below by [date/time]"
Next time you reach out to your contacts, be sure to steer clear from using “just checking in.” Instead, take a moment to think about what exactly you want from your contact and what they might want from you. Your messages should be precise, concise, and conscious of the reader's needs and circumstances.
For example, text, "Hey, I assume we're not on for tonight? I haven't heard from you and I've got other things I'd like to do if not." This kind of text puts you in charge since you're telling him you've got potential plans and you won't wait around for him to ask you out.
Tip: Be brief and ask a question instead of saying you're just following up on the invoice. Remind them of the value you can add or problem you can solve to emphasize what's in it for them. Finish with a call to action by being clear on what they should do next.
The phrase “follow-up” is overused and its meaning is empty. Don't use these words: I was just following up, checking in, reaching out or touching base. You don't have to announce what you are doing; you are doing it. You don't need to broadcast or declare that you are following up; your actions imply that.
Hi Ryan, It was great chatting with you earlier. I'm just getting in touch to check whether you had a chance to review the email I sent to you previously and whether you could reply? If I don't hear from you in the next few days, I'll give you a call.
This is just a quick follow up to my previous email. I'm just checking in to see if there's any update on [specific project]. I'm also interested in seeing if you need any help with that. If now isn't a good time or if you're not available, please let me know at your earliest convenience.
Both phrases have the same meaning and usage. "I wanted to follow up" is the past tense version of "I want to follow up." However, both can be used in the same way and are often included in emails and messages, especially in a workplace environment.
If you know him well, then compliment a strong, positive personality trait. Say something about how confident, kind, or humorous he is. Compliments are a great way to make someone feel self-conscious and lead to blushing, but in a positive way.
