| Analysing Text Messages II |
Before i get into the next instalment of analysing the messages a guy sends girls...let me jst say, my body couldnt hav picked a better time to be sick (note the sarcasm). Like honestly, i hav like 4 shifts this week not to mention the 2 major assigns (one of which i hafta try do by thur so i can start my other one) PLUS my exam nxt fri. OMFG! and i havent even gone clubbing in like a month...i miss it sooo much =( watch me go afta my exam man..ive already started planning my clubbing events wit my frends from wrk ~haha...oh and amy.s, i mite be organising another skygarden nite if u wana join us afta exams...
NEWAYzzz...bak to analysing texts. This is from the same article (Foster, Z. "What Should I Text Him Back?", Cosmopolitan, May 2006, pp. 116 - yes i kno, written too many essays!):
You get this at 2.23am on a Sunday morning from a guy you've "sorta" been seeing:
"Where is the lady of the night? Been looking for you everywhere. Want to see you! Need to see you! Can I come over?"
What you're tempted to write back: "You know my address..."
What is best to write back: Nothing at first, but the following morning you might want to flick him a "how's your head?" text. That's if he hasn't already contacted you to apologise for those 43 missed calls.
Here's why: Anyone who is sending texts at that hour is not of sober or sound mind. That's not to say he doesn't mean what he writes, but ask yourself if he'd text that message to you on a Tuesday afternoon. It's very easy to be adorable or saucy when you've got alcohol streaming through your veins. (Guilty, your honour.)
The bottom line? Beware the late-night text. It's usually fuelled by devil juice and randy thoughts...caused by aforementioned juice. Jacinta advises pretending that the text never happened. "I'd ignore the text and wait for him to call when he sobers up. If he's so desperate to see me, he should have invited me out."...
You get this at 6.35pm on the only free night you have to see him this week. You've just got home and you're about to start cooking dinner in time to watch Prison Break:
"And what are you up to tonight, miss? Catch-up?"
What you're tempted to write back: "Not much...what about you?"
What is best to write back: "Just cooked dinner. Can we reschedule for next week?"
Here's why: If he really wants to see you, he needs to give you more than an hour's notice - after all, you're a busy, social, fabulous girl with a pretty full-on schedule. And you never cancel plans just to see a boy. Jacinta (who I booked in several days ahead to comment on these SMS scenarios) knows the score: "Only girlfriends and family are allowed to give you such short notice - especially if it's via text. I would politely decline the invitation and be honest about needing more notice. If he's that into me, he'll book ahead." [i SOOO agree with this...guys call it being spontaneous but honestly let's face it, it means he really isn't THAT into you or doesnt really wana see you THAT much to make sure he is pencilled into your diary of schedules.]
Amanda agrees, "Your time is valuable and he is lucky whenever you choose to spend it with him. I know it's hard when you really want to see him, but he should be giving you more time than that to organise catching up."
Think of it like this: which would he value more, the car his dad buys for him or the car he saved for two years to buy? You're a precious commodity, and you deserve to be treated as such. Basically, the way you value your time teaches him the way he is to treat you. Endure a little now, gain a lot later.

I mite actually post up some male thoughts of these analyses nxt time (from Cosmo again! lol)

These things are so true! Like I would always organise my time around S and then eventually he would just take me for granted because I made myself so available all the time. Lessons learnt ey.
