So he texted you again, and you know it’s in your best interest to not respond. Maybe he’s looking to hang out (so he can flake again), maybe he’s looking for a booty call (per usual), or maybe he’s apologizing (for the 10th time). No matter the reason, here are some ways to keep yourself from texting him back.
-
Text your mom. I bet she’d be way more excited to hear from you than he would.
-
Take the trash out, because you probably should have yesterday.
-
Finish that assignment.
-
Study for that test you have… in three weeks… because there’s nothing wrong with getting a head start!
-
Fold your laundry. Wrinkly clothes aren’t cute.
-
Or even make your own facemask! Check out these quick and easy recipes.
-
Get some exercise. Keep that bod in tip-top shape so he knows what he’s missing the next time you run into him.
-
Meal prep. Eating healthy + saving money = always a good idea.
-
Dust the furniture in your room. It’s probably been months since you have, and there’s nothing like a clean-smelling bedroom.
-
Read. Start that book that’s been sitting on your nightstand forever, update yourself on current events in the news, or binge on Her Campus Minnesota articles.
-
Share a bottle of wine with a girlfriend and talk sh*t about him.
-
Organize your closet. Find clothes you don’t wear anymore and donate them to organizations like The Salvation Army or The Tubman Center.
-
Take a break from your phone. When was the last time you went more than an hour without your phone within arm’s reach?
-
Nap. Wake up feeling refreshed and not thinking about him.
Hopefully you’ve found a way to distract yourself. Stay strong, gophers!
