r/texts

I don't know what's going on. My friend is usually pretty dry so I wasn't too concerned about his tone or lack of punctuation. We did go out and we had a great time. I realized that I haven't called him pookie before, but idk what it is that set him off 😭

EDIT: Guys i love all of you and I understand your concern. However, I will not be ending the friendship over this 😭😭 This is literally the only time I've seen him react like this. When we went to lunch, nobody brought it up and the vibes were fine. He's really dry over text but super sweet, so I'm used to it! I'm still not sure what exactly happened, but I just thought it was jarring and wanted to share it. Maybe it was a guy thing I'm not aware of to be called pookie? He's fine, I'm fine, we're fine, EVERYTHING IS FINE.

Okay, for clarity, she's black, and I'm orange. Both in our 30s and, for the sake of clarity both single. She's an old friend, an old friend who dating my brother on and off through highschool and, after my aunt and uncle tragically died in a car accidently, dated my cousin thanks to the magic of trauma bonds, only for her to vanish in the middle of the night years later. I guess the relationship was abusive.

Recently, she declared me one of her best friends. We do not have a relationship where we discuss sex. We don't even touch. I gave her a hug once when my brother and I broke up like a decade ago, and that was the last time. Not even high fives. As you can imagine, this conversation caught me off guard.

Ive spoken to a friend or two, and they, and I, see this as a move or as testing the waters. Though I want to believe she was just being a bit too honest with me. I'd love a second opinion, especially if this opinion is "you're overthinking this". Don't let me down reddit!

For clarity, and i cannot believe I have to say this, I absolutely do not want to touch my brother/cousin's ex. I'm not looking for permission. I'm hoping I'm misreading the situation because she's a good friend and, to be frank, pretty much the only one I got.

The jolt of electricity that hit my body when I saw a post from this subreddit and realized “oh my god wait I can post MY dad’s hysterical text!” (Shout out to whomever posted their dad adorably mistaking a broken heart tee for a Superman tee on his lil emoji)

This happened back in 2015 and thank god I had the wherewithal to screenshot it because to this day, it still makes me laugh.

Enjoy!

Edit: woweeee!!! Okay a lot of mixed feelings about this LOL for more context, though there’s not much, this was when I was in college about 10 hours away from him, hence why I was telling him I missed him — before the outrageous drown mf text. At the time, I was seriously SHOCKED when he got an iPhone and was texting… he was a yellow and black brick phone guy forever so all of a sudden he’s texting!?! It was wild. Also at the time, he was drinking big time and spent his evenings getting rowdy with his friends, playing dominos in his garage and talking shiiiit. So truly, despite some thinking my dad secretly hates me and wants me to drown, I think this was a mistake text meant for someone else, like a friend, and he was drunk and didn’t know what I was talking about, nor did he really have the wherewithal to look back at texts. I don’t know yall okay!!!! This is all I got!!!!

Edit #2: to whomever said I was responding to comments like a lunatic and asked if I am on speed- no, I just think it’s kind and fun to respond to people :-) it’s been a very interesting night thanks yall!!!! I wish I could explain this to my dad but he doesn’t even know what Reddit is. Anywho, don’t drown mfers <3

Thankfully I did not see these messages until I was about 21 and they had already been broken up for a few years… this would have crushed me at 14. I found this subreddit and thought this would be a good fit lol

Update to the last photo. Our twins turned 1 a couple of months ago. Lots of ups and downs as new parents but we’re the strongest we’ve ever been.

We chatted for a bit on tinder, he mentioned having been out on his boat earlier for the fourth. About an hour prior to texting him, he sent me his number and forgot and thought I was a scammer I guess? I didn’t miss dating.

For context she is 78 and terrified of anything with scales.

ETA: I just want to say I love how much traction this has gotten. Lasagna for everyone ❤️

More details so you don’t have to sort through comments:
You can sign up in 4 different countries as a recipient or volunteer, OR you can sponsor a volunteer and provide them with supplies! They don’t ask your circumstances, they just want to spread the message of helping others.

Gets a giggle out of me to this day. (We did end up having quite a few zooms as my immediate family was all over the map during the pandemic, Mom was just invested in her tv show at the time and has a charming eloquence)

This is a former boyfriend of my late sister who passed away in 2022. He added me on facebook recently and messaged me, so I told him about what happened w my sister and this conversation followed.

Am I wrong in thinking he's trying to hmu??

Edit: quit crying about my font, I like it 😂

I really like him but what is happening😭

I went on 3 dates with this guy and got this after I decided not to meet anymore... The "not AI" dsiclaimer is sending me, because it's sooo clearly AI. He's blocked, don't worry.
