Texts can be difficult to decipher, especially if the person you're texting is not the same gender as you. Without further ado, here are a few common texts and their translations, from the perspective of a female who has sent them all at some point.
"Hey, what's up?"
Translation: I wanna see you.
"I don't even want to talk to you right now."
Translation: I actually do wanna talk, but it better be about the 2000-word apology you're writing as we speak.
"What do you mean?"
Translation: I know exactly what you mean but I want to hear you say it so that I can't be held accountable for misinterpreting it later on.
"Are you going out tonight?"
Translation: Invite me to pregame with you please
"Ok"
Translation: I'm mad at you for something, but I'm just waiting for the opportune moment to unleash the Kraken.
"Have fun!"
Translation: I hope you have a good time, but not as good as it would be if I were there.
"I'm just watching Netflix"
Translation: Come Netflix and chill with me ;)
"Smh"
Translation: You're skating on thin ice.
"Sure"
Translation: I'm 100 percent not okay with whatever you just suggested, but I'm trying to act laid back about it.
"Idk"
Translation: I have very strong feelings about this, but I'm sure as hell not going to make them clear.
"I'm busy."
Translation: I'm soooo not busy, but I'm just buying you time to formulate an apology.
"I can't say through text."
Translation: I'm about to tell you a piece of gossip, but I don't want written evidence of it.
"I miss you."
Translation: I love you.
"I love you."
Translation: I love you.
"Ily too"
Translation: I appreciate your friendship, but there's no way in hell I'm writing out the entire L-word to you.
"I'm already in bed."
Translation: Normally I would want to hang out, but I've had a rough day so just write me something sweet.
"Hmm"
Translation: I'm really disappointed by whatever you just said to me, but I know it's not your fault so I can't let on that I'm disappointed.
"I think I'm coming down with something."
Translation: Bring me soup without me having to ask for it.
"Fine"
Translation: I'm really mad at you (lol).
"How's the library?"
Translation: Stop being such a nerd and come hang out with me instead
"I should let you study."
Translation: I should let you study, but we both know I'm not going to.
