TEXTING GUYS 101
Ever wondered why you get
one-word replies to your texts?
It doesn’t mean that they don’t like
you or are not interested - actually it is
NOTHING about you.
It is about THEM!
They really are from another planet
and while it is a lovely planet (because
ultimately we do looooove them don’t
we), it is a strange planet where the
native language is unknown to us.
They are just not great communicators.
You can even ask your mums, aunties
or older sisters - it is not something that
they grow out of either - it is with them
for life.
So next time you get a one word reply,
try out these possible translations:
YEP = sure, that would be great. I’m so
glad you texted me.
WHATEVER = I’m actually happy to do
what you want as I’m not very good at
coming up with ideas myself.
FANTASTIC = actually means fantastic.
Just because he hasn’t added ‘wow, our
date was the most incredible one ever’,
does noy mean he had a crappy time
and is trying to be nice.
And if you don’t get a reply straight
away, he is most likely with his mates,
asleep or off on his other planet. And
you know what, that is OK. Don’t
bombard him with 99 messages asking
why he hasn’t replied - just go hang with
your girlfriends and give him some time!
