To purposely send a message ‘accidentally’?

[daisydoo4]

how obvious that is? Purposely sending a message as an ‘accidental one’ to strike up conversation? Or a meme instead of an actual text… you know like when you forward a funny meme to your friend without any actual written message?

long story short… I’d like to strike up s conversation with a guy. We texted before about some work stuff, but strictly work like we are not mates. I feel like in a weird way we connected and I’d like to pick up the conversation with him. Not necessarily a romantic way (there is a little spark) but maybe even just as mates?

Or kick him during a game of kiss chase

You send it then say whoops sorry not for you

he replies ok

you feel like an idiot and will will never sent it because the next time you see him he will not say what an hilarious meme you mistakenly sent

Yeah it's obvious. I actually did pocket text my ex mil once. She rang up asking me to pop round and was asking me what I meant by 'ksnOdnsl 0w98', that I could just ask her normally if I wanted to visit. I didn't want to talk or visit 🤦‍♀️ it really was a pocket text. So yeah, even when it's legit people will think it's not.

If you connected in some way isn't there a more straightforward way to contact them? Ask them for advice about something that you know they are expert in? (Could be anything- where to buy something for a hobby he has as gift for a friend, advice re a restaurant in his town? Advice re something on your work that he could help with?) it's still a little obvious but at least a reason to start the conversation again

Last year I got a text from someone who liked me and we've been together since November. I am on cloud nine so I say just text him and ask him how he is.

Some of the replies on here amount to bullying.

yes, or even just a joke / meme that references something that made you laugh or how you know each other. Be really UP FRONT ''saw this and thought of you!''.

OWN it.

It's a wee bit sad. Oops sorry, that wasn't meant for you, sooooo embarrassed, but I'll keep texting you now the 'accident' is over......... if you like him invite him out for a coffee/ drink.

“I had a crazy dream about you last night! It was so weird, you…

a) were at work but you had a whole flock of sheep with you! Such an odd dream!”

b) died so I just wanted to check that you were okay 😂”

c) were naked 😉”

“Hey fill in name It’s daisydoo4… this is totally random but I was thinking about that time/funny thing that happened/hobby he had/whatever and thought I’d give you a shout to see how you have been?”

@Whatthebarnacles I love your suggestion, it’s brilliant!

I was going to go slightly against the grain & say you MIGHT get away with it if you go with completely irrelevant & obviously not work related.

So if he's called Sam, he might fall for a message saying 'oi Samantha have you ordered the penguins yet? Do they all need to be purple? Has Lavinia even booked the hovercraft yet?!'

But no...he's still just going to message back saying 'I think you've got the wrong Sam.'

& then you still have to say 'gosh, how awkward. Let me buy you a coffee, hot Sam from work.'

So I'd probably cut out the cringey bit in the middle, tbh.

Most of us are simple creatures when it comes to attraction - it's not like he's thinking 'hmm, I really don't know if I fancy OP, but NOW I'm intrigued by her penguin booking problems, & also, I'd have been 100% put off if she'd just asked me out like a normal person.'

add him on social media and start liking his posts?
