(HTD) With The Multiple-Texter

We all have them, the guy who you might be into, but you sometimes just don't feel like talking to--at all. So maybe he'll text you a 'Hey', but you don't feel like answering because the asian woman massaging your hands is just about to start applying polish. And then, it hits like a fucking A-Bomb, the second text: 'How was your night?', or something to that effect.

Now, he's becoming kind of a bother. You don't want to answer, but you're a little annoyed that he texted you again after you clearly weren't answering fifteen minutes ago. You shrug it off and focus on the mani you're getting, making sure this lady doesn't fuck it up. As your drying and enjoying that free five-second back massage they give you, your phone vibrates. You carefully push down on the homebutton and realize it's another text from the same fucking guy: 'What are you up to today?' And there's usually a compliment attached to it, like 'cutie' or 'beautiful' and that just pisses you off more than it flatters you.

We don't really care if anyone can relate to this, because frankly, it just pisses us off and we want to vent. Obviously you weren't important enough to warrant a text back, so don't continue to text us like we're eventually going to respond. If anything, you just began a game to see just how long before we snap and finally text you back some one word answers.

The multiple-texter is hard to shake without bluntly being a bitch, and unless you want him to go tell his friends how bitchy you are, you kind of have to play it cool. If you don't feel like dealing with it, don't answer--ever. Maybe he'll get the hint and just stop talking to you all together. But let's face it, this guy probably isn't on the top of your 'to-fuck' list, but you still like to have him around to text when you're bored and need someone to talk about yourself to.

In reality, we're never going to tell this guy we fucking hate when he texts us fifty times in a row, but still it's really annoying when he does. Even though we're probably leading him on and sending him flirty drunk texts on the weekends, this guy can be a real pain in the ass, but we, knowing everything, always have ways to deal.
