I think the writer just means that you should read them one after the other, in a string.

The set of texts doesn't really make sense to me but then I don't know the context.

It seems to be saying that you have created the pressure yourself. The tone of the texts doesn't seem kind really. There's quite a "pull yourself together" tone there.

It was me having a bit of banter with someone I have been on 2 dates with! I am going to a party on sat and originally didn't invite him when it came up in conversation!! Then decided to ask if he wanted to come! So he's coming with me! more light text chat followed, he said he might feel out of place, I said if he was scared he could stand behind me id look after him! I'd just need to get a box (he's over 6 foot!) but I had the width covered!! ie I'm wider than him! But no pressure if he didn't want to come we cld catch up another time. Then that!!

Really need some clue!! I don't THINK it was intended badly in any way....... Or maybe I'm just being thick!!!

Either a) he really hasn't got the hang of predictive text, or b) he's pissed as knickers.

I indeed indeed think he was pished snorbs and said that but he said it made sense if read in a string...?!!

No, it makes absolutely no sense to me either.

Why are you even giving headspace to someone who sends this sort of drivel?

It sounds like he's stoned, not drunk. Hmm

Suggested reply

"Text in fucking English, you mentalist."

Yeah, that's not computer speak, that's off-planet speak. I'm sorry, but your prospective date is an alien. They're more common than you might think.

carolinamoonbeam · 07/02/2012 21:02

I'm getting some not so good vibes....!! Lol! Indeed could me a mentalist alien! think an explanation is required! If none forthcoming...well.... Only 2 dates! thanks all x
