Texting has slowly but steadily become a typical way we determine our "relationship status" with someone. If you're "texting" then you're "talking" and that means you're only one stage behind being "together." Yikes, who can keep track? Nonetheless, during this "texting" stage, we girls feel the need to prove ourselves to our guys, through cute, clever conversation that will keep him wanting more.
When it comes to that single moment when he's not answering, you might have a mini heart-attack. Here are the 52 thoughts that are running through every girls head in these critical moments:
1. OMG, that text I just sent was super clever.
2. I bet he'll think I'm really funny.
3. And kinda cute.
4. He's cute.
5. How long ago did I send that? Oh, it's only been two minutes.
6. He's probably not by his phone.
7. He's definitely eating or watching sports.
8. I can't wait until we can eat and watch sports together when we're older.
9. I wonder where we'll live.
10. We better have a summer wedding or else it probably won't work out.
11. Why isn't he answering, though?
12. Whatever, it's not like I'm waiting around for his answer.
13. He'll text back when he is ready.
14. Until then, I'm gonna stalk him on Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.
15. What he tweeted exactly seven minutes ago. That means he totally saw my message.
16. Is he ignoring me?
17. No worries! I'll just take some cute selfies in the meantime.
18. But let me throw my ringer on just incase he texts back.
19. Actually let me just put my phone in the other room.
20. I'm independent.
21. But I'm going to double check that the ringer is on full blast.
22. Maybe he doesn't have signal. He's totally in his basement.
23. But it says delivered.
24. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a basement.
25. Does delivered even mean it actually got there? Or is this another one of those government hack things?
26. He's totally mad at me.
27. Was it something I said? Let me re-read the last five hours of our conversation.
28. I totally said "lol" too many times.
29. I blew it.
30. Ugh, I thought I was being so cute!
31. Should I text again with a cute emoji? Maybe a monkey.
32. No, that's desperate. He'll think I'm clingy.
33. It's been almost 20 minutes.
34. One emoji won't hurt.
35. Smiley face.
36. There we go, he'll know I was just being funny now. Deed is done. It's resolved.
37. Phone just rang.
38. It's my mom. Really mom?
39. Seriously, what is he doing?
40. Maybe he's cheating on me. OMG... he might be.
41. Wait just kidding we're not dating yet. Whoops.
42. Wait. He texted back!
43. What did he say, what did he say!?
44. "LOL"
45. What...
46. LOL? LOL?
47. Laughing out loud? Is he kidding?
48. After 25 whole minutes that's all I get? Did he even LOL?
49. I bet he didn't.
50. He definitely thinks I'm dumb.
51. Not texting him back, ever.
52. Well, at least not for another three minutes...
