To be suspicious of this text

Hi ladies,

So ive been dating a guy for a while now (8 months) we get on amazing, he lives 100 miles away from me so makes dating hard, but I'm 100% committed to him and he says he is with me. However;
We were talking tonight via text about him going out with his friend and I get a text saying " I don't understand why you're counting with us 🤦🏻‍♂️♥️ Xxxxxx"

He then proceeded to (in my own opinion) panic and text me straight away saying the text was for his sister, he then called me 7 times, text me 3 times and messaged me on Instagram within 5 mins ( I was in the shower at the time this happened)

I would've thought the text was strange but laughed it off because I had no reason to mistrust him, however his response to this had put me on edge, am I right to have this feeling??? What would you do??

That was not a text for his sister

Takemebacktolondon · 14/08/2019 21:00

What does the text mean?

luckygreeneyes · 14/08/2019 21:00

I’m not sure what the text means so hard to know what to read into it... counting what?

The panicked response is a bit suspect though

LemonAddict · 14/08/2019 21:00

Have you made a typo in the text in your OP? Because I haven’t a clue what it means, it makes no sense at all?

Alloftit · 14/08/2019 21:01

I’d ditch him. He panicked because he fucked up, the text alone isn’t evidence but the mad panicking is.

Scarydinosaurs · 14/08/2019 21:01

So suspect

Davidbowiestrousers · 14/08/2019 21:01

Counting?

Pillowaddict · 14/08/2019 21:01

While I can only guess what it means, there's no doubt that's a flirty text meant for a partner/potential partner I'm afraid - and any doubt, as you acknowledge, would have been out the window at his desperate response. So sorry, but time to move on I think. He sounds very untrustworthy.

AnyFucker · 14/08/2019 21:01

I don't get it

NotMyRealName123 · 14/08/2019 21:01

Depends on what he has said subsequently I think?

pangolina · 14/08/2019 21:01

Yeah his response is weird. If I had sent that message by mistake and was worried about how it would look, I would screenshot the conversation it was meant for, to show context, and just say "sorry wrong message".
I'm not sure what you should do. It would make me feel weird but it could have been for his sister. Does he typically put loads of kisses in messages to you?

pinkyredrose · 14/08/2019 21:02

I don't get it, what's the message meant to mean?

usersouthcoast · 14/08/2019 21:02

Counting dates or weeks with another woman I reckon. Sorry

NoSauce · 14/08/2019 21:03

Another one who doesn’t get it. Does he usually add so many kisses? Did you ask him what he meant?

bluegirlgreen · 14/08/2019 21:03

I don't get the text and its meaning either @letsjustsee

AnastasiaVonBeaverhausen · 14/08/2019 21:04

Counting dates or weeks with another woman I reckon. Sorry

And that's the kindest thought.
Mine was that it was about counting shags.
Sorry OP. The text is weird, but his reaction says far more.

letsjustsee · 14/08/2019 21:04

I asked him what the text meant and he said that she messaged him saying about a stocktake she has in store tomorrow. Apparently he has one tomorrow too and "apparently" they are talking about how many stocktakes they have

Omg the fact I've wrote that makes me cringe about how stupid I am

OP posts:
LemonAddict · 14/08/2019 21:05

Yeah that’s bullshit sorry.

BananaFace5 · 14/08/2019 21:05

He means counting how long theyve been together, or how many dates or shags from the sounds of things. Sorry OP, with the panicked response straight after Id be seriously questioning everything

CoolLikeOvie · 14/08/2019 21:06

Could it be that the woman has a 3 date rule before she sleeps with a man or something? That's all I can come up with. Agree, it's his actions after that are most suspicious.

31RueCambon · 14/08/2019 21:06

It's weird though, what is the counting ?

Oh, ''shags''. OMG.

NotMyRealName123 · 14/08/2019 21:07

Yeah that response is complete and utter bullshit. But I have no idea what the first text means, like in what context could it have been bad otherwise?

Bookworm4 · 14/08/2019 21:08

Yes you send your sister 💕 and kisses. It doesn’t even make sense 🤔

EskiVodkaCranberry · 14/08/2019 21:08

Has he got a screenshot of the conversation with his sister Hmm

AnastasiaVonBeaverhausen · 14/08/2019 21:08

I asked him what the text meant and he said that she messaged him saying about a stocktake she has in store tomorrow. Apparently he has one tomorrow too and "apparently" they are talking about how many stocktakes they have

Jesus. He deserves dumping on lack of imagination alone.
Seriously though, he's digging himself deeper and deeper.
