Keep Their Number Unsaved if They Send You These Texts

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Agnes Scott chapter.

So you gave them your number (or maybe they gave you theirs). They seem like a cool person from how you guys met. If your intention is to date them, you may want to feel them out first, especially since the dating scene now-a-days is a joke, in my personal opinion. Now that we are in the age of preferring to text rather than talk, there are new signs to watch out for to detect guys with unruly intentions. I think I can speak for a lot of college-aged women when I say that most of the men of this generation have lost their ability to approach women. If they sends you these texts, and you’re not interested in what they’re offering, keep his number unsaved (and eventually delete it).

“Send me a pic?”

Out of the entire list, this has to be the most annoying. Like seriously? Has he not heard of Facebook, let alone Google? And why does he need a picture of you? Is it because he wants to see you? If that’s the case, why can’t y’all just meet in person? And, in my personal opinion, if he’s talking about sending nudes, he’s got another thing coming.

Wyd? Wyd? Wyd?” Every other text.

No, really, this one actually gets me. This obviously tells me that you can’t think of anything else to talk about. Are you even interested in what I’m saying? And if I just told you what I was doing twenty minutes ago, there’s a small chance it hasn’t changed.

“You must have other hoes/boyfriends/people you’re talking to.”

Even if this was true, why does it matter? I’m still giving you the time of day (for now). Plus, when people send me texts like this, it’s usually a red strike for me as far as insecurity. I know we’re not all perfect, but come on–a little confidence wouldn’t hurt.
