Text I Want to Be More Than Friends Funny Text Messages

Friendship messages and texts can mean a lot to some of the most important people in your life.

Chances are you send instant messages. But when you're messaging a friend, "instant" isn't always best. Your friend means a lot to you, so you want to choose your words carefully.

What makes it more challenging is that friends come in so many varieties. Some are humorous. Some are serious—some like traditional messages, some like texts.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could browse through a handy catalog of friendship messages and find the perfect thing to send to that perfect friend? We've got you covered. We've started with the best friendship messages identified by the Poet's Panel. So start browsing!
