How to reply to looking forward to speaking with you
Learn what this message signals and how to respond in a way that builds momentum without over-investing or seeming desperate.
When someone says they're looking forward to speaking with you, they're signaling interest and setting an expectation for a real conversation. This usually comes after some back-and-forth texting, or before a phone call or video date. It's a good sign, but it's also a moment where you can easily kill the vibe by either disappearing, going too hard, or misreading the temperature.
Your reply needs to confirm the plan without making it weird. Show up, acknowledge what they said, and move toward the actual conversation. Don't over-explain yourself or turn this into another text exchange that delays the real interaction.

Try for freeShe's named a real conversation and expects you to show
This message is forward-looking. She's not just being polite. She's creating accountability. She's saying: I want to talk to you, and I expect you to actually be there. The timing matters. She's either confirming a plan you already made, or she's indicating that a phone call or video chat should happen soon.
Read the context. Did you two agree on a time? If yes, she's reminding you. If no, she's nudging you to nail it down. Either way, she's not neutral about this conversation. Treat it that way.
Keep it short and lock in the actual meeting
Your job is to confirm and close the loop. Match her energy but don't extend the text thread. If a time is already set, a brief acknowledgment does it. If you haven't locked down when you're actually talking, now is the moment to do it. Suggest a specific day and time so there's no confusion later.
Don't try to be clever or build more rapport through texting. You have a phone call or video date coming. That's where the real conversation happens. Your reply should get out of the way and let that happen.
Send it back quickly, then focus on showing up
Reply within a few hours of seeing it. Don't sit on it. If you reply fast, it shows you're keen and organized. After that, the pressure is on you to actually be present and engaged when you talk. If you set a time, send a gentle reminder text an hour or two before, but keep it light.
If something comes up and you need to reschedule, say it early and offer a concrete alternative. Silence before a planned call reads as disinterest or flakiness. If she doesn't respond to your confirmation, follow up once a day before the scheduled time, then back off. After two or three no-shows from her end, stop trying.
Why these replies fail
“Me too! I've been thinking about our conversation and I'm really curious about your take on the travel thing we were discussing. Can't wait to hear more about that and your thoughts on what I mentioned about my job too.”
It reopens old threads and invites more texting when she's trying to move to actual conversation. It also makes you sound needy.
“Cool.”
It's dismissive and signals you don't actually care. It reads like you're annoyed or just going through the motions.
“Awesome! So are we doing 7pm tomorrow like we talked about or would 8pm be better for you? Also let me know if you want to do a call or video. I'm flexible with either one.”
You're asking questions you should have already settled. It shows you weren't paying attention to the plan and makes her do extra work before the call even happens.
Common mistakes
- Sending a long message back that keeps the text conversation going instead of letting it end
- Going silent until the scheduled call, making it seem like you forgot or lost interest
- Replying with something too casual or flipped that signals you don't care about the conversation
- Asking follow-up questions that invite more texting when the goal is to move to voice
- Waiting too long to reply, which makes it seem like you weren't that excited about it
Questions people ask
- Should I ask her what she wants to talk about?
- No. She's saying she wants to talk to you in general, not inviting you to plan the conversation topics. Let it flow naturally on the call. Asking what she wants to discuss turns it into homework and kills the spontaneity.
- How long should I wait before replying?
- Reply within a few hours if you see it. Waiting too long signals you forgot or aren't that interested. If you're sleeping or actually busy, reply when you're back. Just don't sit on it for a day.
- What if she sent this but we haven't picked a time yet?
- This is your chance to lock it down. Reply with something that confirms interest and suggests a specific time. Don't leave it vague. Make it easy for her to say yes.
- Should I send a reminder text before the call?
- A light one is fine if you're doing it an hour or two beforehand. Keep it short. If you already have a solid time locked in, a reminder is optional but safe. Just don't overdo it or you'll seem anxious.
What people say after using WingAI
“I was skeptical at first. Then I tried it on a dry chat and the replies actually sounded like me, not a chatbot.”

“I overthink every text. Having three options and picking the one that sounds like me cut that spiral short.”
Sam R.
“She went cold mid-week and I had no idea what to say. The reply I sent felt natural and she picked the chat back up.”
