We’ve all been there. You want to contact the jerkwad who has been toying with your emotions for the entire semester. This one night stand, friends with benefits, or even the boy you met at the bar that was texting you non-stop but now has left you on “delivered” on Snapchat for eight (EIGHT) hours and hasn’t reached out to you. Every time your phone buzzes, you hope it’s him. It’s almost getting pathetic. Have you been ghosted?
So instead, you decide to take matters into your own hands. Even though he won’t take time out of his day to send you a simple “How you doin’” text, for whatever reason, you still think you owe him something. Or worse, want to ask what the heck he’s doing. Well, babe, YOU’RE WRONG. Here is a list of things for you to do instead of giving that POS an ounce of your attention, so you can distract yourself while you wait for him to text first…
