So, you know how you sometimes get a text from some random number you probably deleted a while back? You’re either going to ignore it, or right off ask who it is, right?
Not me.
Random: “You going to Austin this weekend?” Obviously this person knows me and who my family is and where they’ll be this weekend…
GEORGE!: “Not til Saturday afternoon… why?”
Random: “I’m thinking about going and wondered if you wanted to ride with me. Or I could just say hi when I go.” Well, apparently I’ve hung out with this person before.
GEORGE!: “My nieces birthday party is Saturday at twelve. So I won’t make the meet and greet.”
Random: “Maci’s?” Well, know they know names. Weird.
GEORGE!: “Yea, my friend is getting in tonight, she lives in Austin and she’s gonna drive down with me on Sat.”
Random: “Thats cool. I’m not positive I’m going, it’s a long drive solo. Happy Bday to Maci, take pics of cake covered baby face for the site.” Well, they read my blog. And it’s probably a girl, because guys don’t talk like that. Here comes the part where I’m a total jerk.
GEORGE!: “I have no idea who this is btw. I guess I deleted your number?”
Random: “Guess so. It’s a girl you dated awhile ago in Texas.” Uh… I’ll just take a shot in the dark.
GEORGE!: “::NAME REMOVED::?”
Random: “No. Should I keep you guessing?” I should have gave up right there… But I didn’t.
GEORGE!: “Lisa?”
Random: “Yep.”
We caught up a little bit after that. I felt like a jerk for a few seconds, but that feeling faded quickly.

This sort of happened to me once. I called my ex to see how he was doing, etc…And about 5 minutes into the conversation, he’s like “Uh, wait a second. Who IS this?”
We had dated for 4 years. And I felt stupid that he didn’t recognize my voice. Lol….Needless to say, I got off the phone asap.

i got a random text from a guy once… and it was OBVIOUSLY a wrong number. and he kept telling me that i was crazy for not knowing who he was and that we “were waiting to have each other”. finally i convinced him that i was NOT his beloved and quit responding to his texts and then he called me and left me voicemail that i sounded sexy and that he wanted to get to know me better…
i feel sorry for the girl who’s waiting for him.

At least you didn’t make fun of an idiot in your health class loud enough for the whole class to hear.

She probably wanted to hook up. Will you be adding her back into your phone?

That kind of stuff is fun. Have you ever seen a random person on their break still wearing their name tag from wherever they worked, and gone up and been like DAVE! OMG! HI! HOW ARE YOU?? what’s been up? oh man, that bar we went to was awesome huh? I had such a good time. You are SO FUNNY! I hope to see you again soon. You still have my number, right? and then you can watch them squirm. It’s great.

Sounds like she was pretty cool about it.

You didn’t sound like a jerk to me.
And I’m always cool.
