So, if you're anything like me, then texting someone you like turns you into a crazy person. Here's the scenario: You like the guy you met in your bio class and you do all your group projects together. You bond over how boring it is. And finally, he asks for your number. Now what?
I sometimes hate texting because I never know how to act, because yes, you can act like something over text. Do I sound too eager? Too aloof? If they haven't responded for a half hour, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Lizzy McGuire, had she had an iPhone in her time (did she even have a cell phone?) would have reacted in the same way many of us do.
When he texts you first.
Woah!
And he asks for your Snapchat too.
What? I look like this all the time.
And you're super eager to respond.
You need to slow down.
You ask your friends for advice and they tell you to be chill.
Act cool, act cool.
But you text back, then a half hour's gone by and he hasn't responded.
Stay calm.
Then another hour.
What is he thinking?!
Then suddenly you tell yourself that you're "over it."
Psh, it's whatever. Doesn't matter. I'm fine.
Then he responds and tells you he was at work.
Oh... well I may have slightly overreacted.
But your friends assure you that we all overanalyze sometimes.
So I'm not crazy?
